🔸Chapter 3 focuses on Solomon’s remarkable encounter with God. 

🔸After establishing his reign, Solomon offers sacrifices at Gibeon, where God appears to him in a dream. 

🔸God grants Solomon one wish, and instead of asking for wealth or power, he humbly requests wisdom to govern the people. 

🔸Pleased with Solomon’s choice, God not only grants him wisdom but also blesses him with riches and honor.

🔸Solomon’s desire for wisdom over material wealth teaches us to prioritize spiritual understanding and discernment in our lives.

🔸Solomon’s wise decision regarding the true mother reverberates throughout the land, filling his subjects with awe and deep respect. 

🔸True leadership stems from humility and a willingness to serve others. 

🔸Solomon’s request reflects a servant’s heart, seeking to benefit his people rather than himself.

🔸Just as Solomon sought divine wisdom, we are called to seek God's guidance in our lives.
