When the temple had been built and completed, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Solomon was enabled by God to build a beautiful home for him in Jerusalem, as a place for the people to come and pray and meet with God. This was to fulfill David’s desire that a proper place be established once he had tamed Israel’s enemies on all sides. Then his son would be given the mandate to build the temple, a house of prayer, a place of sacrifice, the center of their covenant relationship with God in heaven. This is where God’s glory would reside.
