“The Lord reigns: let the earth rejoice.”
1Ki_4:22-34
Solomon by his wisdom brought great prosperity to his tuition, and made the country the center of trade and commerce. His royal establishment was conducted upon the most sumptuous scale.
1Ki_4:22-23
But what is this compared with the provision which loads the table of the King of kings, by whose bounty all the saints are fed?
1Ki_4:25
So, too, where Jesus rules peace reigns undisturbed.
1Ki_4:26
This was a forbidden luxury, for the Hebrew kings were commanded not to multiply horses. In this Solomon erred.
1Ki_4:27-34
See how well the Lord fulfilled his promise. He gave him wisdom in no stinted measure.
1Ki_10:14-15; 1Ki_10:18-23
1Ki_10:14-15
He built stations for the caravans, and received a toll of the merchants, besides gaining great wealth by purchasing the produce of the East, and selling it to the Western nations.
1Ki_10:18-20
But how much mere glorious will be the throne of our Lord in the day of his appearing!
1Ki_10:21-23
Thus again the promise was fulfilled, and wealth followed wisdom. Who would not trust so faithful a God?
Behold your King, your Saviour crown’d
With glories all divine;
And tell the wondering nations round
How bright those glories shine.
Infinite power and boundless grace
In him unite their rays;
You, that have e’er beheld his face,
Can you forbear his praise?
