Read the excerpt from 1 Kings 5. And Hiram gave Solomon cedar wood and cypress wood (according to) all his desire. And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat (for) food to his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil, thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him, and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they both made a league* together. . . . And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders . . . prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.* –1 Kings 5:24–26, 32 *league: an agreement to work together for a shared purpose *house: temple Which statement best explains the central idea of the passage? Solomon teaches the Israelites to obey their parents and God. Solomon is a good king because he leads his people to victory. Solomon and Hiram agree to work together to build a temple. Solomon uses his wealth to make Jerusalem a great city.
