The golden age of Israel, started under King David, continued under Solomon. Solomon extended the domain of Israel from the Red Sea on the south to the Euphrates River on the north. But not until Solomon’s time was this promise fully realized. Nearly a thousand years before Solomon, Abraham had been promised that his seed would receive the land of Canaan for their inheritance, including territory as far north as the Euphrates River (see Genesis 12:7 13:15 15:18). None of these kings, however, obtained the power and prestige that Solomon did. Many kings ascended the throne of Israel from the time of Saul to the dissolution of both the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.
