At Gibeon, God promised to lengthen Solomon's days if he could
Answer Details
In the Bible, at the city of Gibeon, God appeared to King Solomon in a dream and made him a promise. God promised to lengthen Solomon's days if he followed God's commandments and kept His statutes and judgments. The promise was contingent upon Solomon's faithfulness and obedience to God's laws. Building a temple for God was one of the ways Solomon could show his obedience, but it was not the only condition for God's promise. The promise was not linked to Solomon's ability to conquer the Syrian king or write three thousand proverbs, but rather to his commitment to keeping God's laws.
