Lead:

Solomon takes over and builds the temple.

Intro:

Remember that even though the Chronicler is repeating many of the same history covered in 2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings, he highlights different historical emphases. Consequently, Chronicles reminds the people of the hope that rests only in the faithfulness of God, that it was God who made and keeps promises to David, and it is God from whom all our blessings flow.

Pay attention today of Solomon’s initial posture when he prays.
