Why Solomon Asked for Wisdom — And What God Really Promised Him (1 Kings 3–4) by Steve Gregg

https://thenarrowpath.com | Channel not run by Steve Gregg | In this lecture, Steve Gregg walks through 1 Kings 3–4, explaining how Solomon’s reign begins with political consolidation, compromised worship practices before the temple’s construction, and a pivotal encounter with God at Gibeon where Solomon humbly asks for wisdom rather than power or wealth. Gregg carefully unpacks God’s response, emphasizing that the biblical claim that no one would be wiser than Solomon is an example of common Hebrew hyperbole rather than a literal, absolute statement. The lecture highlights Solomon’s famous judgment between the two women as a demonstration of divinely granted wisdom, then surveys the administrative structure, prosperity, peace, and territorial expansion of Israel under Solomon. Along the way, Gregg addresses issues of biblical interpretation, textual transmission, and the non-threatening nature of minor manuscript discrepancies, encouraging readers to understand Scripture realistically and contextually rather than rigidly literalistically.
