'Earth' in the Bible

People from all nations came to hear Solomon's display of wisdom; they came from all the kings of the earth who heard about his wisdom.

The king had them cast in earth foundries in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

He prayed: "O Lord, God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven above or on earth below! You maintain covenantal loyalty to your servants who obey you with sincerity.

"God does not really live on the earth! Look, if the sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built!

Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, obey you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you.

After all, you picked them out of all the nations of the earth to be your special possession, just as you, O sovereign Lord, announced through your servant Moses when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt."

Then all the nations of the earth will recognize that the Lord is the only genuine God.

King Solomon was wealthier and wiser than any of the kings of the earth.

This sin caused Jeroboam's dynasty to come to an end and to be destroyed from the face of the earth.
