The story of Solomon can be divided into three parts:
- Chapters 1-2 - Solomons rise to power
- Vs 3:1 - 9:9 - Solomon forward thinking

Solomon builds the Temple in Jerusalem with the finest of fine;
He drafts, conscripts, puts into slavery some 200,000 people to
build the Temple over a 7 year period. He also builds a palace
for his household; He dedicates the Temple with prayers and
praise to God, instructs the people on duties and then has a
massive sacrifice to God with an 8-day feast of the nation.

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and
forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and
contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and
acknowledging our wretchedness may obtain of you, the God of all
mercy, perfect remission, and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen. (BCP)
