Thoughts Design: Steve Webb A New King Solomon now begins his reign as king. It seems that his first order of business was to strengthen his hold on the kingdom. In 1 Kings, chapter 2, we read that shortly before his father David died, he gave Solomon instructions on what he should do to accomplish this. And it looks like Solomon wasted no time. Also, we're told in 2 Chronicles 1 that God was with him and highly exalted him. God seems to be pleased with how Solomon began his reign. Then he brought all Israel together to make a very special sacrifice of 1,000 burnt offerings to God. This seems to have been to show that he would seek God as the leader of the nation. God's Offer to Solomon That night God came to Solomon in a dream and said, "Ask. What should I give you?" Of course, the implication is that He would have given Solomon anything that he asked for, isn't it? Can you imagine? Anything! Wow. Wouldn't it be great if God made that kind of offer to you? What would you ask for?
