Folks, listen up! Here's the deal: My father used to say, "No malarkey!" And I'm not joking. 1 Kings 6 is literally all about King Solomon's building of the temple. See here, Jack, this is a big deal. For seven years, Solomon and his team worked hard on this masterpiece. They built it with the finest cedar and stone. He even put carved figures of cherubim and palm trees in it. Excuse me, but that's something. Uh, you know, it was amazing. He was determined to make it the most beautiful temple in the world. C'mon, man, it was huge! No doubt about it. But here's the kicker: God was pleased. And, I tell you what, that's not gonna happen every day. But, literally, that's what happened. What was that? Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. He also built a palace for himself. So, you know, there's that. Anyway, that's 1 Kings 6.
