THE HEBREW MONARCHY
AT ITS HEIGHT
LESSON TEXT—I Kings 9:1-7, 26; 10:28
28; 11:4, 11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed Is the nation
whose God Is the Lord.—Psalm 33:12.
Keeping up with the neighbors is
not always a desirable thing, but
both men and nations do it. When
the last judge, Samuel, had become
old, Israel began to demand a king
like the nations round about them.
Although the rejection of His di
rect rule ever them through His cho
sen men was a sad development,
God permitted them to choose a
king. Saul, their first king, was evi
dently selected for his appearance
and his physical superiority. He
began well, in dependence upon God,
but came to a tragic end because of
j sin,
I David, who followed Saul, had his
failings, but was essentially a man
' after God’s own heart. He wanted
to build a temple for God, but be
cause he was a man of war, God
decreed that his son, Solomon, who
1 succeeded him, was to build it.
With the reign of Solomon, and
{ especially with the building of the
i temple, the monarchy in Israel
reached its highest development
only, to go down to disaster.
Our lesson opens after the remark
ably fine prayer with which Solomon
dedicated the temple.
I. Dedication Accepted (9:1-3).
God was pleased with Solomon’*
intelligent and spiritual prayer and
the act of dedication, and He hal
lowed the house of the Lord by put
ting His name on it and assuring
them of His continual presence.
It is a delightful thing that God is
willing to accept at the hands of a
man the dedication of either himself
or his possessions for God's glory.
The Lord is Maker of heaven and
earth and surely has no need of what
we have. And yet He does have
need of it, and is ready to use it as
wp present it to Him.
Our act of dedication results in His
act of acceptance and consecration
of our talents, our time, our money,
or our goods for His glorious service.
But God expects His people to con
tinue in devotion to Him if they are
to have His continued presence and
blessing.
11. Consecration Expected (9:1-7).
The throne of David was to remain
in the lineage of Solomon as long as
he and the people of Israel walked
uprightly before God. He expects
obedience to His commandments,
and apart from it He cannot give His
blessing.
Note the faithfulness of God. No
man would ever have introduced
such a note of solemn portent and
of warning into an occasion which
seemed all gladness and light. Pros
perity was at its height. The king
was in favor with both God and man.
Into that picture of success and
grandeur God paints with bold
strokes a great and striking “IF.”
It is presumption to think that we
can coast along on past attainments
or former piety. If we are to be
used and blessed of God tomorrow
and the day after, we must look to
our consecration to Him and our obe
dience to His will.
111. Possessions Glorified (9:26;
10:26-28).
Wc read in 10:23 that "King Solo
mon exceeded all kings of the earth
in riches and wisdom.” He had
reached the pinnacle. The Chinese
have a proverb, "The man who
stands on tho pinnacle has nowhere
to step but oil.”
It need not have been a snare for ,
Solomon to be rich if he had main
tained his simple faith in God, but
the temptations brought in by heath
en wives whom he foolishly married,
coupled with the deceitfulncss of
riches (Matt. 13:22), soon led him
into the downward path.
The almost unbelievable riches of
Solomon could have been used for
the glory of God, but instead they
were an end in themselves.
When money takes the ruling hand
in a man’s life, he loses out spiritu
ally. His life becomes an empty
farce; his soul can be satisfied with
only more and more gold.
Solomon was soon led into the fol
ly of turning to the worship of
heathen gods. Little wonder that we
find:
IV. Judgment Decreed (11:4, 11).
It would seem that a man who
knows the Lord should grow in grace
| and become even more intimate with
God as he grows old. One might ex
! pect that the passing of years should
mellow and sweeten life. But sad
to say, it is often not the case.
“When Solomon was old,” he went
after false gods. How tragic! Little
wonder that one of the saintliest
men this writer ever knew prayed
constantly as he went into his
eighties, "Lord, keep me from ever
becoming a wicked old man.” Other
old men and women (yes, and all of
us) could well pray (he same prayer.
So it became necessary for God to
wrest the kingdom out of the hands
of the great Solomon, and Israel goes
on to its history of a people divided,
of disobedience to God, and of ulti
j mate judgment. Of that we shall
4 see more in the weeks just ahead.

Regardless of his personal
opinion, no driver is as good with
I a drink of liquor in him as he is
without it.
The best way to reduce traffic
accidents and fatalities in this
country is to drive safely and
walk safely. Both are necessary.
The first step in keeping physi
cally fit is to eat right and get
the right kind of exercise. To
'keep fit, keepwell,
j Remember the condition of
[your brakes is always the driv
jer’s responsibility. There is no
excuse that can be offered for an
accident caused by poor brakes.
Never wash silk in an inflam-
J able liquid. The movement of
silk in the gasoline can cause an
electric spark sufficient to ignite
the gasoline.
Slimming Exercise for Waistlines
Waistlines thicken when posture
isn’t good and exercise is postponed
until day after tomorrow. Here is
a good slimming exercise; Stand
erect, feet fairly close together with
the hands resting on the hips. Lift
on the toes, lower the torso until
heels and buttocks meet. Still on
the toes, lift the body slowly to the
erect position. Repeat 10 times,
pause and take three deep breaths,
lifting the chest high, pulling in the
j tummy muscles. Then at it again.
Do not be limp and casual. Make
, the muscles work.
