verse 12: Then he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
After King Solomon had built the temple for the Lord, he now dedicate it to Him. The way that he dedicated the temple was a way that I would imagined his father David would have done it. He stood as a spokesman for the nation of Israel. As the people looked to their king, Solomon's arms stretched high into the heavens and proclaimed jaw dropping words toward God.
If a President of this so called 'sophisticated world' would've done this very act on Capitol Hill, CNN would be all over him like they did with Anna Nicole Smith. Bill Mahr and Jon Stewart would have a heyday. Indeed, King Solomon modeled what a King ought to do with the Creator of the Universe.
