1Ki 7:1 | MHM | STEP | More of Solomon's Building Projects This passage describes the various buildings and structures that Solomon constructed, in addition to the temple. Solomon was a prolific builder, but he made sure to put God's house first before building for himself and his royal court. His buildings show his great wealth and wisdom, as well as the importance he placed on having beautiful and functional spaces for worship, government, and living. v. 1 : After completing the temple, Solomon turned his attention to building a house for himself, where he would live (1 Kings 7:1; 1 Kings 7:8 ). It took him 13 years to build his own palace, longer than the 7 years it took to build the temple. This shows he prioritized the Lord's house over his own comfort and convenience.
