Today's Verse is 1 Kings 5:5
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
In seeing that it would be a good thing to include another in his Purpose, Solomon laid out his goal to build an house unto the name of the Lord his God. Now, we see with Nehemiah, that there will be times when the stranger must be excluded, for in Nehemiah’s case, it was clear that those without were adversaries to the cause. But in Hiram’s case from the outset, He appeared and was fully a willing participant to Solomon’s endeavor. Therefore, Solomon laid bear his plans, and fully included Hiram in the project (remembering also that the labour is worthy of his hire.) Amen.
To God be the Glory
