'pacific', Irenaeus, German Friedrich, English Frederick), Solomon, the son of David by Bathsheba the wife of Uriah; he succeeded his father, becoming the third king of Israel ( Solomon, son of David and Bathsheba, appears twice in Matthew’s opening genealogy (Matthew 1:6–7). His inclusion secures the messianic line, linking the covenant promise to David with its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Splendor and Wisdom as Benchmark Jesus cites Solomon as the apex of earthly magnificence: “Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these” (Matthew 6:29; Luke 12:27). The comparison elevates God’s providential care above the most lavish human attainment. Christ’s Superiority to Solomon “The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment … for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here” (Matthew 12:42; Luke 11:31). Solomon’s God-given insight (1 Kings 3:12) becomes the foil that magnifies the incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ. Solomon and the Temple Stephen reminds the Sanhedrin, “But it was Solomon who built Him a house” (Acts 7:47), only to add that the Most High is not confined to man-made structures (Acts 7:48). The first temple thus serves as both climax of Old Testament worship and pointer to the true dwelling of God among His people. Solomon’s Porch and Early Church Ministry “Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade” (John 10:23). After Pentecost the apostles proclaimed the risen Christ in the same portico (Acts 3:11; Acts 5:12), making it a bridge between Israel’s heritage and the Church’s newborn witness. Typological Significance • Royal Son of David—anticipating the eternal Kingship of Christ (Luke 1:32–33). Pastoral Reflections Trust in God’s provision that outshines Solomon’s glory; pursue the superior wisdom revealed in Christ; recognize the indwelling Spirit as the true temple; and model the apostles by taking the gospel into public spaces, as they did in Solomon’s Colonnade.
