God came to Solomon in a dream and said, Ask for whatever you want me to give you 1st King 3:5-15. Solomon didn’t want money or fame; he asked for wisdom and a discerning heart to manage his kingdom. And God gave it to him. He was a great King and leader for the Israelites, who designed and built the Holy Temple and expanded the Kingdom. He listened and obeyed God at the beginning of his journey but eventually stopped and followed his wives, who worshiped their own Gods.
