Session 33 describes a promising start for Solomon as he ruled with the wisdom God had blessed him with. He built the Temple and dedicated it with a magnificent festival.

He married foreign wives who turned his heart from Yahweh, even to the end that he built altars to pagan gods on the mountain overlooking Jerusalem.
