In verse 7, Solomon refers to himself as a “little child” (KJV). My opinion was that he was a teenager. He was the earthly king of a lineage that was to end with the King of Kings—Jesus Christ (Luke 1). Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36); Solomon’s was. He really needed help in order to do this well, and his humble beginning, acknowledged by his words in this reading, can help us to teach our “little children” that great lives are built on humility.
