Decision Day in Solomon's Wisdom Lesson
The lesson contrasts a wayward elder brother with Solomon who seeks true wisdom. Preparation includes loving the Lord and going to Gibeon. Solomon presents offerings, receives a dream revelation, and asks for a hearing heart. God grants wisdom, riches, and long life conditioned on obedience, a test Solomon fails later.
