Prayer of Solomon pleased the Lord God who gave him an understanding heart. This is the case with every one foreknown and called. Did King Solomon make his election sure? Compare v.34 with the verse in the Book of the Revelation."And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it(Re.21:24).
The Spirit is not focussing on the calling of King Solomon not merely to hold his life as a cautionary tale for us but to instruct what it means to have an understanding heart. Like the talents in the Parable of Jesus, the wicked one is one who dug a hole in the ground to bury it. In our times we have seen these wicked ones like the harlot who traded her spiritual gifts for amassing riches. Come judgment day, she shall know what she has done with her soul. Be not deceived God is sitting even this day as a refiner(Mal.3:3) The silver which is reprobate is for the slag heap.
Tailpiece:
By the way do we have any clue as to the Millennial reign to which 'in that day' refers? In Re.7 we read events taking place in heaven before this v.9 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands(Re.7:9)."
