            Earth. Other passages along these lines read: (Surely God is beyond all
            the expressions that follow!)
                 Then say to Pharaoh: "This is what the LORD says:' 'Israel is my firstborn
                 son.'" (Exodus, 4:22)
                 They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will
                 lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stum-
                 ble, because I am Israel's Lord, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. (Jeremiah,
                 31:9)

                 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me [David], "You are
                 My Son; today I have become your Lord." (Psalm, 2:7)

                 The term son of God is also used to refer to Prophet Solomon (pbuh)
            in the Old Testament. The relevant passage reads:
                 When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up
                 your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons [Solomon], and I will
                 establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for Me, and I
                 will establish his throne forever. I will be his Lord, and he will be My son. I
                 will never take My love away from him, as I took it away from your prede-
                 cessor. I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever; his throne
                 will be established forever. (1 Chronicles, 17:11-14)
                 This holy individual referred to by the title "son of God" is the
            Prophet Solomon (pbuh), one of the sons of Prophet David (pbuh).
                 [David said to Solomon, "God said to me:] But you will have a son who
                 will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies
                 on every side. His name will be Solomon, [1] and I will grant Israel peace
                 and quiet during his reign. He is the one who will build a house for My
                 Name. He will be My son, and I will be his Lord. And I will establish the
                 throne of his kingdom over Israel forever. Now, my son, the LORD be with
                 you, and may you have success and build the house of the LORD your God,
                 as He said you would." (1 Chronicles, 22:9-11)
