King
Shlomo’s (Solomon's) reign can be described as the glory days of the Kingdom of Israel.
Shlomo creates a kingdom that is characterized by peace and security, wealth and prosperity, wisdom and knowledge, justice and righteousness, spiritual devotion and international recognition. One of
Shlomo’s goals in building the
Beit Hamikdash (Holy Kingdom) is for the gentile nations of the world to also come to recognize the greatness and oneness of God. Perhaps this is why
Shlomo made a point of making his kingdom so grand and establishing political connections and alliances. Indeed, in addition to his renowned reputation and vast impact, he succeeds in his mission to spread recognition of God, as demonstrated by the queen of Sheba’s visit. She is so impressed with
Shlomo and his kingdom, yet her reaction to her visit is, “Blessed is
Hashem your God, who favored you and set you on His throne as a king before
Hashem”. The Nation of Israel continues to be charged with the same mission of spreading God’s great name and His Oneness throughout the entire world. Connect to this holy mission. Get more inspiration from
