1 Kings 9; 2 Chronicles 8

Common Theme
God confirms His covenant with Solomon but warns of the consequences of unfaithfulness. Solomon’s kingdom expands with construction, prosperity, and organization, yet the narrative begins to shift toward signs of compromise.

Questions

• Why does God emphasize both promise and warning in His response to Solomon?
• What early indicators of drift or compromise can be seen in Solomon’s reign?

God Shot
God is a covenant-keeping Lord who delights to bless but does not overlook disobedience. He reveals Himself as both faithful and just—committed to His promises and equally committed to holiness.
