We worked through the second half of chapter 4. In this section we saw an Eden like kingdom described. The people are described as happy and prosperous. Solomon rules most of the developed world at that time. The amount of food needed to supply the daily needs of the royal government indicates a massive and sophisticated means of preparation and distribution. The people lived in safety. God granted Solomon favor and peace with all the nations around him. He had a large army of chariots at his disposal. Solomon was sought after for his wisdom, which was massive in its scope. Greater then the wisdom of Egypt and the people of the east. It encompassed not just social and political things but Solomon had great wisdom about trees, plants, animals, birds and fish. Kings of the earth came to Solomon to hear his wisdom for themselves.
