Slide-by-slide content of the presentation:
Slide 1. In the fourth year of his reign, King Solomon began building the Temple of Jerusalem.
Slide 2. The location was Mount Moriah, once sanctified by the sacrifice of Abraham and the appearance of an Angel during the time of David.
Slide 3. This mountain consisted of three terraces, which rose in steep ledges one above the other.
Slide 4. Seven years later, the majestic building was erected and arranged.
Slide 5. During the construction of the temple, 30 thousand Jews, 180 thousand foreigners worked, under the supervision of 3600 bailiffs.
Slide 6. The plan of the temple repeated the plan of the tabernacle, only on a much larger scale.
Slide 8. Each side of this courtyard was 500 steps. Three copper gates from the city led into this courtyard; there was a marble colonnade around it.
Slide 9. Above it, on the middle terrace, a courtyard was built (the courtyard of the priests, the courtyard in front of the House of the Lord).
Slide 11. The Copper Sea was installed on 12 copper oxen. It was five cubits high and a palm thick. The diameter of this vessel was 10 cubits. The sea was intended for washing the sacrificial parts of animals.
Slide 12. Beyond the courtyard rose the temple building itself, paved with white marble.
Slide 13. Like the tabernacle, the temple was divided into two parts: the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies.
Slide 14. The sanctuary was inaccessible to the eyes of the people: they saw only the majestic entrance to it.
Slide 15. In front of it rose the tower of the vestibule.
Slide 16. At the entrance there were two pillars cast from copper, each 18 cubits high. Crowns of copper covered with wicker nets were placed above the pillars. 200 pomegranates in two rows covered each crown along the top of the pillar.
Slide 17. In the sanctuary there were 10 golden lampstands and the same number of golden tables for the showbread.
Slide 18. In front of the entrance to the Holy of Holies there was a golden altar for burning incense.
Slide 19. The wall and ceiling of the Holy of Holies, or otherwise the davir, were lined with cedar boards. Debir was intended to store the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Two cherubim made of olive wood, five cubits high, were placed in the oracle. The span of the two wings of each Cherub was equal to its height.
Slide 20. The Cherubim were so arranged among the davir that the wing of one Cherubim touched one wall, and the wing of the other Cherubim touched the other wall, while the other two wings were connected wing to wing among the temple.
Slide 21. The walls of the temple and the davir were covered with gold, and the floor of the davir was also covered with gold. Everything was covered with carvings of Cherubs, palm trees and blossoming flowers covered in gold.
Slide 22. The walls of the temple were made of hewn stones of enormous size. Their width was five cubits. The stones were so carefully processed that the eye could not notice the lines of their connection. Neither a hammer, nor an adze, nor any other iron tool was heard during its construction.
Slide 23. The temple had a wooden roof with a gable roof on the north and south sides with a slight western slope. The roof had pointed spiers and a special device to drive birds away from the temple.
Slide 24. The location of the mountain contributed to the temple making a wonderful impression. Especially from the side of the Mount of Olives, the temple looked like an unusually majestic building.
Slide 25. Solomon invited the elders of Israel and all the leaders of the tribes to the consecration of the temple. It was a great holiday for the Israeli people.
Slide 26. With a multitude of people gathered singing psalms and numerous peace offerings, the priests carried the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord from the Tabernacle of David to the new temple. The Ark was brought into the Holy of Holies and placed under the wings of the Cherubim.
Slide 27. When the priests left the sanctuary, majestic singing was heard, trumpets, cymbals and other musical instruments thundered. Everyone, both the trumpeting and the singing, unanimously, as one person, praised God.
Slide 28. Suddenly a bright cloud surrounded the temple, and the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. There was deep silence. At this solemn moment, Solomon fell on his knee in front of the altar, raised his hands to the sky and said an inspired prayer.
Slide 29. He called upon the blessing of God on all the nations of the earth, prayed to God to accept the prayers of the pagans in the Jerusalem Temple, so that together with Israel the whole earth would revere the name of the God of Israel.
Slide 30. As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, fire fell from the sky and consumed the prepared sacrifices. All those in the temple fell to the ground and glorified God.
King Solomon
Presentation made by S.B. Fedotova, history teacher
MBOU Secondary School No. 21, Kovrov
Solomon is the third Jewish king, the legendary ruler of the united Kingdom of Israel during the period of its greatest prosperity. Son of King David and Bathsheba. Considered the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes, the book Song of Solomon, the Book of Proverbs of Solomon, as well as some psalms. During the reign of Solomon, the Temple of Jerusalem, the main shrine of Judaism, was built in Jerusalem.
One day Solomon prayed so fervently at night that God appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon what he wanted most in his life. Solomon replied that what he wanted most was wisdom to govern his people correctly and honorably. God liked the request so much that he endowed the king of Israel with extraordinary wisdom. Proof of this was an incident that happened the very next day.
The women asked Solomon to resolve the question of whose son the child was. “And one woman said: Oh, my lord! This woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth in her presence in this house. ...This woman also gave birth; and we were together, and there was no one else in the house with us...
“And the woman whose son was alive answered: Oh, my lord! Give her this child alive and do not kill him. And the other woman said: let it not be for me or for you, cut it.” (1 Kings 3:26,27). “And the king answered: Give her the living child and do not kill him: she is his mother” (1 Kings 3:26,27).
Solomon is given special credit for the fact that in a dream he asked only for the granting of wisdom to him. Solomon was considered the personification of wisdom, so the saying arose: “He who sees Solomon in a dream can hope to become wise.” He understood the language of animals and birds. When conducting a trial, he did not need to interrogate witnesses, since at one glance at the litigants he knew which of them was right and which was wrong.
Queen of Sheba People flocked to Jerusalem from all over the world to see with their own eyes the wisdom of the king. The Queen of Sheba also came to Solomon, wanting to test him with riddles. But Solomon solved all the riddles, and then the Queen of Sheba presented him with unheard-of wealth: “And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a great abundance of incense, and precious stones; never before had such a multitude of incense come as the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon” (3 Kings 10:10).
However, there is a more frivolous legend for this story. The Queen of Sheba was known as smart and beautiful, but she had one secret - her extremely hairy legs. And that’s why she always wore a dress down to her toes. However, Solomon easily solved this riddle. He held a feast in a hall with a mirrored floor. Disgraced, the queen fled in a hurry from Jerusalem, leaving Solomon with all her treasures.
"Thousand and One Nights". Fairy tales and stories. Describes a genie who angered King Solomon and was punished by being locked in a bottle and thrown into the sea. Since the bottle was sealed with Solomon's seal, the genie was powerless to free himself until he came across a fisherman many centuries later, who opened the bottle.
Once upon a time, there was a crop failure in the kingdom of Solomon. Pestilence and famine arose: not only children and women died, even warriors were exhausted. The king opened all his bins. He sent merchants to sell valuables from his treasury in order to buy bread and feed the people. Solomon was confused - and suddenly he remembered the ring. The king took out the ring, held it in his hands... Nothing happened. Suddenly he noticed that there was an inscription on the ring. What is this? Ancient signs.... Solomon knew this forgotten language. “EVERYTHING PASSES,” he read.
Many years passed... King Solomon became known as a wise ruler. He got married and lived happily. His wife became his most sensitive and closest assistant and adviser. And suddenly she died. Grief and melancholy overwhelmed the king. Neither the dancers and singers, nor the wrestling competitions amused him... Sadness and loneliness. Approaching old age. How to live with this? He took the ring: “Everything passes”? Melancholy squeezed his heart. The king did not want to put up with these words: out of frustration he threw the ring, it rolled - and something flashed on the inner surface. The king picked up the ring and held it in his hands. For some reason, he had never seen such an inscription before: “THIS WILL PASS.”
Many more years have passed. Solomon turned into an ancient old man. The king understood that his days were numbered and while he still had some strength, he needed to give the last orders, have time to say goodbye to everyone, and bless his successors and children. “Everything passes,” “This too will pass,” he remembered, grinning: that’s all passed. Now the king did not part with the ring. It had already worn out, the previous inscriptions had disappeared. With weakening eyes, he noticed: something had appeared on the edge of the ring. What are these, some letters again? The king exposed the edge of the ring to the setting rays of the sun - the letters flashed on the edge: “NOTHING PASSES” - read Solomon...
When you are engulfed in flames of passion, With sadness or great joy, When your eyes speak of anger, You can’t control your soul, When a dream suddenly ends its flight, Fortune turns its face away, - Remember Solomon’s ring And the wise inscription that everything will pass. When an even more difficult moment comes, And everything falls on you at once, And you can’t hold back an angry cry, Having sent the ring itself and the phrase to hell, When the sky completely darkens So that there is not a single clearing in your soul, - Turning the ring the other way around, Read on it words: “This too shall pass!”
From many dreams there are many vain words. He who gives to the poor will not become poor. The wise are silent, so fools can pass for wise if they remain silent. Others pour generously, and more is added to him; and the other is thrifty beyond measure, and yet becomes poor. Three things are incomprehensible to me, and four I do not understand: the way of the eagle in the sky, the way of the serpent on the rock, the way of the ship in the middle of the sea, and the way of a man to the heart of a woman. The crown of old men is the sons of sons. Aphorisms and sayings of King Solomon
Wealth is exhausted by vanity, but he who gathers with labor multiplies it. WEALTH The prudent man sees trouble and takes refuge; and the inexperienced go ahead and are punished. EVERY WISDOM He who rejoices in misfortune will not go unpunished. VICES It is better to live in a corner on the roof than with a grumpy wife in a spacious house. FAMILY
The parables of Solomon, included as one of the books in the Bible, are widely known. “A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who is wise will rebuke him” (Prov. 28:11). “Just as it is not good to eat too much honey, so to seek glory is not glory” (Prov. 25:27).
King Solomon
The legendary ruler of the united kingdom of Israel was born from King David and his beloved wife Bathsheba (Bat Sheva). The future king was named Shlomo (Solomon), which translated from Hebrew means “peacemaker” (“shalom” - “peace”, “not war”, and “shalem” - “perfect”, “whole”).
The reign of Solomon from 965 to 928 BC. called the era of the heyday of the monarchy and Jewish power. During his 40-year reign, Solomon became famous as the wisest and most dispassionate ruler in the whole world; many legends and fairy tales were written about his talent for foresight and sensitivity. It was Solomon who built the main shrine of Judaism - the Jerusalem Temple on Mount Zion, which his father David planned to build during his lifetime.
The Almighty honored Solomon with divine revelation two whole times. The first time, even before the construction of the Temple, on the night before the ritual of sacrifice in Givon, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and offered to ask him for whatever his soul desired. Solomon asked only for wisdom and the ability to govern his people. The generous God promised him wisdom, wealth and glory, and if he fulfills the commandments, then longevity. After the completion of the Temple, God visited Solomon again, saying that he had heeded his prayer for the illumination of the Temple, and that he would protect the dynasty of David only if all his sons remained faithful to Him. Otherwise, the Temple will be rejected and the people expelled from the country.
Solomon's policy
By marrying the daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh, Solomon not only ended the half-thousand-year enmity of the Jews and Egyptians, but also received from the pharaoh the Canaanite Gezer, which he had previously conquered, as a dowry. Next, Solomon set about renewing relations with David’s longtime friend, the Phoenician king Hiram, the northern neighbor of the kingdom of Israel. It was rumored that it was precisely in order to get closer to neighboring peoples and strengthen his power that Solomon took as wives Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites who belonged to the noble families of these peoples.
The famous legends about Solomon also serve as an indicator of his foresight and intelligence. Once, two women came to the king for trial, who could not divide the baby between them - both said that it was her child. Solomon, without hesitation, ordered the baby to be cut in half so that each woman would get a piece. The first said: “Chop it, and let no one get it,” to which the second exclaimed, “It’s better to give it to her, but just don’t kill him!” Solomon decided the court in favor of the second woman, giving the child to her, because... she was his mother.
One day the king turned to the court sage for help. Solomon complained that his life was restless, the passions boiling around him distracted him from politics, he lacked composure, and wisdom did not always help him cope with anger and frustration. The court sage gave the king a ring engraved with the phrase “This shall pass,” and told him that the next time he felt an uncontrollable influx of emotions, he should look at the ring and feel better. The king was delighted with the philosophical gift, but soon the day came when, after reading the inscription “Everything will pass,” he could not calm down. The ruler took the ring off his finger and was about to throw it away, but then on the back of the ring he saw another inscription “This too shall pass.”
12 golden lions and the same number of golden eagles sat opposite each other on the steps of the throne of the king of Israel. When the king ascended the throne, the lions, using a mechanical device, extended their paws so that Solomon could lean on them. In addition, the throne itself moved at the request of the king. When Solomon, ascending to the throne, reached the last step, the eagles lifted him up and seated him on a chair.
According to most sources, Solomon reigned for about 37 years and died at the age of 52, overseeing the construction of a new altar. Those close to the king did not immediately bury him in the hope that the ruler simply fell into a lethargic sleep. When the worms began to sharpen the royal staff, Solomon was finally declared dead and buried with full honors.
Seal of Solomon
It is known that Solomon's annual income, consisting of trade profits, taxes and tribute from Arab vassals, amounted to six hundred and sixty-six talents (about twenty-two thousand eight hundred and twenty-five kilograms of gold), not counting supplies in kind collected from the Israeli population.
The main part of the Israelite dwelling was a large room on the ground floor. Women cooked food and baked bread there, and the whole family gathered there for joint meals. There was no furniture. Even wealthy people ate and slept on mats. The rooms on the upper floor were accessed by stone steps or wooden ladders. In the summer they slept on the roofs, where a refreshing breeze blew. They ate a lot of onions and garlic. The main food product was fried and boiled wheat, various cereals, lentils, cucumbers, beans, fruits and honey. Meat was eaten only on holidays. They drank mainly sheep's and cow's milk, but consumed wine very moderately.
Ruins of Megiddo
Archaeological finds have introduced us to many aspects of life of that time. In particular, they indicate a fairly high standard of living. Countless expensive bowls for cosmetics made of alabaster and ivory, bottles of various shapes, tweezers, mirrors and hairpins prove that Israeli women of that era cared about their appearance. They used perfumes, blush, creams, myrrh, henna, balsam oil, cypress bark powder, red paint for nails and blue paint for eyelids. Most of these drugs were imported from abroad, and such imports are typical of a rich country.
Today, the only surviving treasure of Solomon's wealth is the 43mm Solomon's Garnet, which King Solomon gave to the High Priest of the First Temple on the day the sanctuary opened. Pomegranate is considered a symbol of prosperity and prosperity in Israel. From the temple itself, destroyed in 587 BC. Nebuchadnezzar II, nothing remained, and today only a fragment of the Second Temple, erected on the site of the first - the Western Wall of Jerusalem, 18 meters high, reminds us of the Jerusalem Temple. Massive stones, weighing up to 700 tons, are held together only by the force of their own weight.
