Joe: Alright, so what are we talking about today?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, we're talking about 1 Kings 3.

Joe: Got it. What's that one about?

Bible Expert: Well, it's about King Solomon who has just come to the throne of Israel and he's looking for a way to lead his people. He decides to ask for wisdom from God, and God grants his request.

Joe: Wow! So God just gave him the wisdom he wanted?

Bible Expert: Yes, he did. Solomon then uses his newfound wisdom to settle a dispute between two women who were claiming to be the mother of the same baby. He wisely decides to divide the baby in two, giving each woman half, which leads to both of them being satisfied.

Joe: That's wild! So then what happened?

Bible Expert: Well, after that, God appears to Solomon in a dream and tells him that he has pleased him with his request and his judgment and grants him even more wisdom. He also grants him riches, honor, and a long life.

Joe: Wow! That's amazing. So Solomon was pretty lucky, huh?

Bible Expert: Yes, he was. God also warns him to stay faithful to Him and follow his commands.

Joe: Alright, so what happens next?

Bible Expert: Well, Solomon then uses his newfound wisdom to begin building the temple of God in Jerusalem and to establish laws for the people of Israel.
