1 Lesson 090 The Wisdom Of Solomon 1 Kings 3:16-28; 4:21-34

2 MEMORY VERSE 1 KIN GS 4:30 Thus S olom on s w isdom exc elled the w isdom of all the m en of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: Three paper bags, a few small plastic bugs, a few small prizes and marshmallows. Enough small prizes (pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.) for the number of children in your class. Blindfolds (4-5). Enough yield sign templates as the number of children in your class, yellow or red construction paper, scissors, glue and large tongue depressors. ATTENTION GRABBER! Watch Your Choices The object of this activity is to show the class that sometimes we make choices a certain way for the wrong reasons. You will need three paper bags or small boxes. Decorate one bag beautifully, make it look very attractive, but put small plastic bugs inside. The next bag, make it look ugly but put in some small prizes. The third bag just leave plain and fill with marshmallows. Have the children take a look at all three bags (but not inside!). Take a show of hands to indicate which bag as a whole the class wishes to choose. Choose a couple of volunteers to reach into the bag that was chosen at the same time (count to three and have them reach in). 2

3 Next ask the children what happened. When making decisions we sometimes go with what looks best, but that is not always the best choice. Sometimes the best choice may be the one that looks the worse on the outside, or even the most plain. When making choices we need to apply God s wisdom and not our own like Solomon did in our story today. LESSON TIME! Last week we learned that King Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than riches or long life. Today we will learn how King Solomon used that wisdom. We will learn that King Solomon used his wisdom to help people. God gives us wisdom so we can help others. Also, do you remember how we get wisdom? According to James 1 we only need to ask God for it and He will give it to us. For us to be able to help others in the right way we need to have God s wisdom. Solomon had to rely on God s wisdom to get at the truth in the situation we will learn about today. 1 KI N G S 3:16-23 N o w t w o w o m e n w h o w e r e h ar l o t s c am e t o t h e k i n g, an d s t o o d be f o r e h i m.

B u t y o u r s o n i s t h e d e ad o n e, an d m y s o n i s t h e l i v i n g o n e. ' " This is a story about two women with two very different stories coming before King Solomon. King Solomon was to be the judge and come up with a decision as to who was right and who was wrong. A judge has to be able to tell who is telling the truth and who is telling a lie so that they can make a good decision. Sometimes a judge even has to decide who gets punished. These two women who had come to King Solomon had no witnesses to help him make a decision. He knew one woman was not telling the truth. The woman who was lying was hoping that King Solomon would not be able to tell the difference and would not be able to make a good decision. But we will see that King Solomon uses his wisdom to help the woman who was telling the truth. God gives us wisdom so we can help others. 4

5 Have you ever had two people tell you different versions of the same story? They both were there and saw what happened, but they are still telling two different stories. You know that one is either just wrong or is lying. It can be hard to tell sometimes. We certainly need wisdom in a situation like that. This is what King Solomon had to figure out. He relies on the Lord s wisdom to help him. 1 KI N G S 3:24-28 T h e n t h e k i n g s ai d, " B r i n g m e a s w o r d. " S o t h e y br o u gh t a s w o r d be f o r e t h e k i n g. An d t h e k i n g s ai d, " D i v i d e t h e l i v i n g c h i l d i n t w o, an d gi v e h al f t o o n e, an d h al f t o t h e o t h e r. " T h e n t h e w o m an w h o s e s o n w as l i v i n g s p o k e t o t h e k i n g, f o r s h e y e ar n e d w i t h c o m p as s i o n f o r h e r s o n ; an d s h e s ai d, " O m y l o r d, gi v e h e r t h e l i v i n g c h i l d, an d by n o m e an s k i l l h i m!" B u t t h e o t h e r s ai d, " L e t h i m be n e i t h e r m i n e n o r y o u r s, bu t d i v i d e h i m. " S o t h e k i n g an s w e r e d an d s ai d, " G i v e t h e f i r s t w o m an t h e l i v i n g c h i l d, an d by n o m e an s k i l l h i m ; s h e i s h i s m o t h e r. " An d al l I s r ae l h e ar d o f t h e j u d gm e n t w h i c h t h e k i n g h ad r e n d e r e d ; an d t h e y f e ar e d t h e k i n g, f o r t h e y s aw t h at t h e w i s d o m o f G o d w as i n h i m t o ad m i n i s t e r j u s t i c e. King Solomon asked for a sword. What do you suppose these two women thought about that? King Solomon was going to do something very wise to get to the bottom of the truth. But using the threat of death for the child he would be able to get at the heart of what was really happening. 5

6 In the heart of one woman, he found love and compassion. Love that was so strong she was willing to give her baby up to another woman in order to see him live. Saving his life was the most important thing, even if saving his life meant not being able to raise him herself. She was taking the chance that she might not be able to ever see her baby boy again. But at least she knew that he would be alive. In the other woman s heart King Solomon found covetousness. That is when you want something someone else has. She wanted that baby boy so bad she lied to try get him. She felt bad that she had lost her own child and thought that by stealing the other woman s baby that she would be happy again. Sometimes people can covet something so much that if they can t have something then no one else can either. When the lie didn t work this woman was even willing to let that baby be killed. She probably figured that since she lost her baby the other woman should lose hers as well. King Solomon used his wisdom to help the first woman get her baby back. God gives us wisdom so we can help others. How did Solomon know that the first woman was really the baby s mother? He knew that a real mother would try to save her baby s life no matter what. She was willing to give up her baby in order to see him live. But he knew the other one lied because it was no problem for her to see him killed. We see the Lord giving Solomon great wisdom in this situation. What can we do when we have to decide between two sides of an issue to see which one is right? Especially when we have two different stories or think someone is lying to us? We need to go to the Lord in prayer and ask Him for His wisdom so that we can make the right choices. Don t just look at what seems right or even feels right, but base your decisions on God s Word. 6

7 No Sight, No Shoes The object of this game is to demonstrate how difficult it is to find your shoes while blindfolded. In the same manner, we can t live our lives in the right way without God s wisdom. Have the children get into a big circle. Ask the children to take off their shoes. Have them place all of their shoes into a big pile. Next, you will need 4 or 5 blindfolds (only allow a small number to play at a time so that no children will get hurt trying to grab their shoes). After the 4 or 5 are blindfolded, tell them that they will have 1 minute to find their shoes and put them on (younger ages can just find their shoes). Tell the other children not to give them any help. After everyone has had a chance to play, gather all of the children back together. Have them all put their own shoes back on. Discuss the game. Was it easy or hard to find your shoes in a big pile when you were blindfolded? Explain that there are so many choices in life. If we try to make those choices without God s wisdom it is kind of like trying to find shoes in that big pile with a blindfold. 1 KI N G S 4:21-28 S o S o l o m o n r e i gn e d o v e r al l k i n gd o m s f r o m t h e R i v e r t o t h e l an d o f t h e Ph i l i s t i n e s, as f ar as t h e bo r d e r o f Egy p t.

King Solomon ruled over a very large kingdom. The Euphrates River to the north was almost 400 miles from Jerusalem. The Word says he ruled over all the kingdoms west of the River (that would be the Jordan, in the middle of Israel), and he had peace on all sides. It would take a very wise man to keep peace with all the rulers of all of these kingdoms that his father, King David, had fought with all his life (Philistines, Jebusites, Hivites, Ammonites, etc.). In the middle of all that territory was Israel, from Dan to Beersheba! That area would be about 150 miles. And every man had his own vine and fig tree. This implies that each family had their own property. King Solomon used his wisdom to help his people have peace all the days of his life. 8

9 How about those daily provisions? Thirty kors of flour and 60 kors of meal translate into 185 and 375 bushels, respectively. In US measurements that equals 1,480 gallons + 3,000 gallons. It kind of makes you curious to know how many people King Solomon was feeding daily. How many loaves of bread do you think 1 gallon of flour or meal makes 10? 12? 16? Multiply all those gallons and you get somewhere around 17,000 loaves of bread!!! That s enough for 15,000 people to have bread at breakfast, lunch and dinner! And what about all those cattle and sheep and deer and fowl, etc.? In a cookbook we found around 22 different cuts of beef on a cow. Thinking about how a rump roast can feed 4 or 5 people for 1 meal, one cow might feed 300 people and 30 will feed maybe 10,500. Add to that 100 sheep and goats along with all those other animals maybe 15,000 people? That s a lot of people! Where did all those people live? Did they all eat together? Well, verses talk about his district officers, and 2 Chronicles 9:25 talks about his chariot cities. Not only did King Solomon have a very huge household with wives and lots of children, but he also had a huge palace with lots of servants to feed and care for. In addition, there are visitors, religious leaders, ambassadors, advisors and visiting dignitaries from other lands to feed and take care of. And it took a lot of people to take care of all those horses in the chariot cities. King Solomon used his wisdom to care for and feed a lot of people. The Lord blessed Solomon very much. When we live by God s wisdom we can be blessed too. We may not have as many chariots or servants as King Solomon, but we will be blessed with the peace and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In future lessons, we will see that Solomon did begin to stray away from God s wisdom; 9

10 and he ended up with a lot of misery because of it. Let us keep following God s wisdom all of our lives. Seeking For Treasure By using some small prizes, illustrate how we need to search for wisdom like searching for a treasure. Before class you will need to take enough small prizes to have one for each child in your class. Hide them throughout the room by taping them under chairs, under the chalkboard/dry erase board tray or under desks (be creative). But make sure that they are out of sight. When ready, explain to the class that there are several small hidden treasures throughout the class. When you say go let them search for the hidden treasure. When everyone is done make sure that they all share so that everyone gets one. Explain what Solomon talked about in Proverbs when we find or are given wisdom, we have a great treasure. We need to value that treasure and hang on to it because it will be very valuable in our lives. Wisdom is more valuable than all of the riches in the world. 1 KI N G S 4:29-34 An d G o d gav e S o l o m o n w i s d o m an d e x c e e d i n gl y gr e at u n d e r s t an d i n g, an d l ar ge n e s s o f h e ar t l i k e t h e s an d o n t h e s e as h o r e.

Here we see that God gave King Solomon a very great gift. He was given more wisdom than any other man in history. Who is the most famous man you have ever heard of? What was he or she famous for? A lot of people may be famous for only one thing, but Solomon had so much wisdom he knew music; he was a writer (verse 32); he was a scientist (verse 33, Proverbs 20:10); he was an engineer; and he was a businessman (2 Chronicles 2-8). King Solomon was so wise that men of all nations came to learn from him. He was also a teacher. Think how much learning those ambassadors went home with. He taught them how to build better cities, have organized governments, healthier farms and gardens and stronger families (Proverbs 3, 4:1-10). King Solomon used his wisdom to help other nations as well as his own. Today we learned that King Solomon used his wisdom to help him judge, make decisions, and teach the people. In Proverbs 4, Solomon says he listened to his father s advice to get wisdom and understanding. This is something we can do as young people. While we are learning our lessons in music, science or history in school, we can also learn to be wise. Then God will be able to use you to help people. God gives us wisdom so we can help others. 11

12 Yield To God s Will Sign Using the enclosed Yield to God s Will template, make as many copies as the number of children in your class so that each child will have one yield sign. Next allow the children to cut out slightly larger triangle out of red or yellow construction paper. Glue the sign to the construction paper. Then have the children color the letters and the sign. Glue a large tongue depressor to the bottom of the sign. Explain to the children that we need to yield our lives to God s wisdom and His will. PRAYER Lead the children in a prayer to ask the Lord for wisdom. Then to ask the Lord who can they help with the wisdom that God gives them. If there are any children who have not yet responded to the gospel, give them opportunity to do so. 12
