All Israel makes a liberal offering for the temple. David blesses and praises the Lord and instructs the people. David dies. Solomon reigns as king. The books of Nathan and Gad are mentioned. The Lord honors Solomon before all Israel. The Lord appears to him. Solomon chooses and is given wisdom. His kingdom is blessed with splendor and riches. Solomon engages Huram of Tyre to supply timber for the temple. Laborers are organized to do the work. Solomon begins to build the temple. He makes the veil and the pillars, and uses much gold and many precious stones. Solomon makes the molten sea (baptismal font) and places it on twelve oxen. The altar, basins, pots, and various items are made. The temple is finished, and the ark of the covenant is placed in the holy of holies. The glory of the Lord fills the temple.
