Solomon’s father was King David. David had many other sons, but although he inspired the love and trust of many men throughout his life, when it came to his own sons, some of them treated him with derision and treachery. However, Solomon was different. He was the son promised to succeed David on the throne.
David had been a great warrior throughout his life, but Solomon was to have peace throughout his 40-year reign. This book brings before the reader some of the things which occupied Solomon during that time.
