Nathan

The prophet that warns Bathsheba that Adonijah will kill her and Solomon which then solomon takes throne and has enemies executed (eg Adonijah)

What does solomon request for when YHWH appears in dream while at gibeon for sacrifices?

Wisdom - “a mind of understanding to govern your people; to discern between good and evil”

Queen of sheba

Hears of solomon’s wisdom, so she goes to test him, and he passes - allows extravagant trade of wealth to ensue - from the southern Arabian peninsula or eastern Africa (not sure where Sheba is)

Solomons temple (7 years)

The First temple - reinforces Jerusalem as venter of YHWH worship - made through forced labor (workers provided by king Hiram of Trye) - layout mirrors that of the tabernacle

Ahijahs prophecy

Ahijah (prophet) tears garment in 12 pieces—→ gives jereboam10 peices(means that jereboam will be king of 10 tribes)—→ solomon wants jereboam dead—→ jereboam flees to egypt

King Rehoboam

Takes throne after solom dies - makes forced labor worse and harder for israelites even though they requested lighter workload - goes against old advisors
