This series of articles was published by Ellen White in the Review and Herald from 1905 to 1906. Some of the material was later used in the book Prophets and Kings, but not all of it.

These articles present a wider application of the lessons from Solomon’s life, with especial application to the church and the gospel work to be done before Christ’s return.

There is no time in Old Testament history, when the purpose of God, that His people should reach the world with His gospel, was closer to fulfillment than Solomon’s day. It was a glorious opportunity, which however was sadly sidetracked.
