The Davidic covenant is found in 2nd Samuel 7. In this chapter God promises to David that his thrown will be forever, his name will be great, he will have land, no more war for him in his lifetime, and his son will build the temple for the Lord. This covenant is unconditional meaning the David has to nothing to have this covenant stay in motion. The sign of this covenant is the Temple built for God by Solomon.
David’s thrown will “live on” through Jesus. The temple will be built by David’s son Solomon. Finally, no more war in his lifetime was fulfilled to death. David was a very righteous man, but not perfect. Still he was one of the very few good kings that the Israelites had.

Later on before David dies Solomon gets crowned as king to rule over Jerusalem. Then Solomon goes to work building the temple. You might be wondering where he got all the money to build the temple. He got most of it from taxes, trading, and gifts from other nations. With this he got materials like gold and wood for the temple. In the end Solomon was known to be one of the richest kings that ever lived.
Solomon is a good king while the temple is build, but soon he starts his path of evil by not lowering the taxes for the people after the temple was built. Also later on he started worshiping other gods because he married so many foreign women who were not willing to change their religion. Solomon though it was good in his eyes making so many treaties, but it was evil in God’s eyes. This caused a large chain reaction of god’s people worshiping other gods. For example, like Bail
