2Ch_2:1-16

And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord.



Solomon’s predestined work

Solomon was born to do this work. There is no need for the rose to say, “Now I am going to be beautiful and fragrant.” There is no need for the nightingale to say, “Now I have fully made up my mind to be musical and tuneful, and to fill the air with richest expressions and melody.” The flower was born to bloom, and to throw all its fragrance away in generous donation; the nightingale was made in every bone and feather of it for the sacred singing throat to sing to astonish the world with music. Solomon came into this work naturally, as it were by birth and education. (J. Parker, D.D.)
