From II Chronicles 7 - 9:
1. Can you imagine making a prayer and then seeing fire come down from heaven and consume the offering that you were making? Wow!!!! I think I would be talking about that for years and years in my testimony!
2. God promised to bless David's descendants. However, what God promised to Solomon (by speaking to him - another thing I would be talking about for years in my testimony) had definite conditions. He had to continue to follow God and not worship idols. God already knew what would happen, because I am sure that by this point Solomon had already begun taking too many wives.
3. I think II Chronicles 8:11 pretty much tells where the problem was going to be, as he built a separate place for his wife from Egypt, in spite of the fact that he had admitted by doing this that she would not be pleasing to God.
4. No Dewey Decimal System - It says that all the things Solomon did were recorded in the records of Nathan the prophet, the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and the visions of Iddo the seer. I wonder what happened to all these records. Did the royal librarian not do their job and keep these accounts safe? Or was it because they did not yet have the Dewey Decimal system?
5. I also wonder why it lists Iddo the seer's account regarding Jeroboam as having information about Solomon.
