Объяснение для детей

Imagine you have a big playground, and your friend did something naughty. Instead of taking away all the playground, you let them keep a small part. That's what God is doing here, but with Solomon. He's still letting Solomon have a part of the kingdom because Solomon's daddy, David, was very good at following the rules.
