When God appeared to Solomon in a dream, He spoke some very specific prophetic announcements.  As we noticed in yesterday's reading (from 2 Chronicles 6:22-39), there are more of the "whens" and "ifs" and "thens" and "buts" in the readings for today (2 Chronicles 7:11-22).  Solomon had prayed some very specific prayers concerning the defeats, droughts, famines and plagues, battles and captivity.  He used lots of "whens" implying that all these things would happen, which they did.  God responds in like manner to Solomon telling him that droughts and plagues would take place.  But God gives His people an escape route.  All they had to do to prevent all the calamities from happening was to humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways.  He warned them very specifically to turn away from false gods.  This is something He had done repeatedly in the past. He warns us against false gods too.   

King Solomon's wife (the daughter of Pharaoh) could not live in the palace in the City of David.  She couldn't enter into the holy places because she was not a descendent of Jacob.

Solomon had a fleet of trading ships and brought back to Solomon such things as apes and baboons.  Why apes and baboons?  A person's worth was measured by the animals he owned.  Exotic animals would be a symbol of wealth.  Solomon also began acquiring a multitude of chariots and horses.

Solomon was given much more than just a discerning heart. He was very familiar with a multitude of scientific information. He knew lots of "stuff".

Notice how many daily provisions were required for Solomon and his table. 30 head of cattle among many other things. 

Many believe that the Queen of Sheba took back much more than just monetary gifts from King Solomon. A few months after her return to her home she gave birth to a son.

2 Chr 9:12
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.

Psalm 72 ends today's reading very well with:
Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen and Amen.

Imagine what our earth would be like if it were filled with His glory! It begins with the Believers being filled with His glory - His Holy Spirit.
