1 Kings 1; 1 Kings 2; 1 Kings 3; 1 Kings 4
Abishag cherishes David in his extreme age. Adonijah aspires to be king. Bathsheba and Nathan advise David of Adonijah’s plotting. David names Solomon as king, and he is anointed by Zadok. Adonijah’s cause fails. David charges Solomon to keep the commandments and walk in the ways of the Lord. King David dies and Solomon reigns. Adonijah, Joab, and Shimei are put to death, and Abiathar is rejected as high priest. The kingdom is established with Solomon. Solomon loves the Lord and keeps his commandments. The Lord appears to Solomon and promises him a wise and an understanding heart. He judges between two harlots and determines who is the mother of a child. The officers in Solomon’s court are listed. Solomon reigns in peace and prosperity over a large kingdom. His wisdom and understanding exceed that of all men.
