8:66/7:10 and then went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things the LORD had done

 

 God told Solomon that his eyes and heart live in the temple - we say the eyes are the window to the soul  and also that God lives in our hearts.  He is watching and caring. He could have said his nose and pinky toe live there - but he didn't. Without out hearts we don't live. we don't feel. we don't exist.  heart is what separates us from other animals. emotion. feeling. caring. 

He then goes on to tell Solomon that if he doesn't obey and follow his decrees, then his descendants will pay the price.  Hmmm...does he follow in the typical footsteps??? 

9:13 Land of Cabul, a name they have to this day Is this the same as Kabul, Afghanistan? (According to a bible history site, it is.)  

Solomon sent out ships - they brought back apes and baboons. (among other stuff) Wonder what they did with them.
