A short Insight into MELACHIM 1, Chapter 7 By Rabbi Nisson Dov Miller

(PLEASE LEARN FOR A REFUA SHELAMA FOR THE GEDOLIM Rav Elyashiv -Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha, Rav Shteinman - Aaron Yehuda Leib ben Gitel Feiga, Rav Weiss - Yitzchak Tuvia ben Rikal, Rav Belsky - NAME ADDDED Chaim Yisroel ben Chana Tzirtel, Rav Yosef - Yaakov Chai ben Margalit And Telzer Rosh Yeshiva, Yitzchok Izak ben Trina Rivka Vizhnitzer Rebbe-Moshe Yehoshua ben Margulios for a refuah shleima b’soch kol cholei am Yisrael.) As the gemora in Sanhedrin (104b) speaks about those kings and lay people who do not have a portion in the World to Come, the gemora reveals that they wanted to add “one” more person to the list – Shlomo Hamelech! The gemora tells us that after some dramatic events a Heavenly voice announced, “Take a look at this man who hurried diligently in his work. He shall stand with the [Righteous] Kings [in the Garden of Eden]. He will not stand with the wicked [in Gehinom]. The one who built My House before his house and built My house in only seven years and his house in thirteen years - he shall stand with the [Righteous] Kings [in the Garden of Eden].”
