Chapter 13

When David died, his son Solomon became

the new king. Solomon was very young when he

began to rule Israel. The nation was at peace

because David had worked hard to make his

kingdom strong and harmonious. One night, God

appeared to Solomon and told the new king he

could have anything he asked for. Solomon chose

carefully. He asked for wisdom to rule over

King Solomon loved God, so he built a

temple where God would dwell andOne day, the Queen of Sheba came to visit

King Solomon. A colorful parade of royalty with

servants, assistants, and government officers

arrived in Jerusalem after traveling more than a

thousand miles.

What a sight! The rich and famous queen was

carried through the streets in a brilliant caravan.

With her came carts full of treasures. Trunks

overflowed with gold, precious jewels, and rare,

sweet-smelling spices. All were gifts for King

Solomon.

The colorful caravan made its way to the

palace. The king himself waited on the steps to

welcome his guest.

“King Solomon,” said the queen, “I’ve heard

about your great wisdom and knowledge. I have

also heard about your golden palace and the

beautiful temple you built for your God. I have

come to see everything for myself and to ask you

many questions.”

The king showed his guest around the temple

and the palace. He answered every one of the

queen’s questions. No question was too difficult

for Solomon. His vast knowledge amazed her. He

knew about plants and animals. He understood

what made people act the way they do. During her

visit, the queen learned a lot from the wise king

of Israel. She could see that God favored

Solomon and had blessed him greatly.

Soon the visit came to an end, and it was time

for the queen to return to her homeland. Before

she left, the Queen of Sheba told King Solomon,

“Your wisdom and wealth are much greater than I

had heard or imagined. Your people are blessed to

have you as their king.”

Stories of Solomon and his wisdom were told

throughout the nations of the world. Solomon

wrote more than one thousand songs, and he

wrote down many of his wise thoughts so the

people could share the wisdom that God had

given him.
