These verses function as an introduction and as a bit of a trailer of what’s to come. Most of the important themes are here. As we look at this introduction, there are important details of why this book exists and who will benefit from reading and understanding it.
North and south spiral around each other into the banality of idolatrous oblivion. Does God have a plan? What now for the Kingdom promised to David and the God who would dwell with his people?
As Jeroboam secures his throne in the north, God sends a prophet from the south to remind him whose kingdom it is. But the destinies of south and north are entwined, and a deadly encounter with a lion reminds us that their fate is not in their hands.
Solomon’s legacy is a mess. His son, Rehoboam, tussles for power with the formerly disgraced administrator, Jeroboam. The kingdom God promised to David tears itself apart, and we finally learn what it would take to be a righteous king.

Food for thought: What would it look like to be a righteous king? Is such a thing even possible in the actual world of politics?

We're halfway through our first season in the Books of Kings. Solomon’s later years are marked by power, wealth, influence, and every other excess he could have possibly desired. There are signs of God’s blessing in this. But all that glitters in Solomon’s kingdom isn’t gold.

In this episode, Nathan works through one of the major milestones and events in Israel's history. Israel gathers to dedicate the temple as Solomon prays to the God who can’t be contained by it. The temple will channel God’s blessings to Israel for as long as they remain faithful. But what will happen if they stray?

The temple is Solomon’s most enduring achievement. Breathtaking in scope, it is built to mirror the cosmic order itself. And it teaches us something about the God whose stubborn intention is to dwell with his people.
Solomon has the throne, but what will he do with it? God’s surprising gift of overwhelming generosity gives Solomon the ability to do whatever he wants. But the fine print in the gift of wisdom, as well as Solomon’s actions, raises some questions for the future of this kingdom. Intrigued?

Welcome to the first episode in our series The Books of Kings. Our host for this series is Dr. Nathan Lovell from George Whitefield College (GWC). Nathan is part of the faculty at GWC and is also the Director of Research. Here is a rundown of our first episode: Israel’s great king David lies frail and weak, while his sons fight for power. What will become of the kingdom that he built? What will become of God’s promise to build an eternal kingdom through him?
We come, at last, to the final section of the introduction. Again and again, we have been told about two very different ways to live: the way of wisdom, and the way of folly. We receive two seemingly identical (but actually very different!) invitations from Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly. This section of Proverbs concludes by forcing the reader to make a decision: which way will we choose?

In Proverbs 8, we read the most majestic section in the entire book. Lady Wisdom tells us about herself, and reveals all her wonderful attributes: insight, righteousness, sound judgement and power. She is indispensable to leadership and social order, because she is the fundamental principle of creation. If God used Lady Wisdom in building creation, don’t you think that we will need her when we seek to build our lives?
