1 Kings 7:13-14
And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work.

King Solomon was young and inexperienced in many of the things he was about to accomplish. But, he was also willing to bring in the help he needed through the experts he could find. The above passage is a sample of that. Too many leaders think they are supposed to be the experts in everything. They can't admit where they need help. They think it is a sign of weakness to ask for help. It is really a sign of weakness to not be able to ask for help. Solomon asked God for one thing: Wisdom. Wisdom is demonstrated in the above passage. When Solomon asked for wisdom that didn't mean he would be given the expertise to build the Temple. It meant that he would have wisdom and that wisdom would empower him to make wise decisions: Hiring a master builder was a wise decision. When we are great leaders we surround ourselves with greater men who can do things better than we can.
