There were two kinds of reign for a king – reigning in battle and reigning in peace.
Solomon’s very name is derived from the Hebrew word for peace, shalom, more than the absence of war.

The Davidic monarchy ushered in a period of great worship. Solomon built a magnificent temple.

How Do We Experience God’s Reign?
The Lord is King, His kingdom is here and is coming in Glory. What we experience now in part, will be completely established in His return. So we pray, Let your Kingdom Come Oh Lord.
