Beginning of Kings

Day 121
OT Reading: 1 Kings 1-2
NT Reading: Luke 22:54-71

After reading those first couple chapters of 1st Kings, I honestly don't have too much to say. A lot of people were repaid for the wrongs they committed during the time of King David. Brutal? Perhaps. But regardless, it happened...so there is not much explanation there.

Today though we do begin a new book of the Bible in 1st Kings. What you'll find is that while there is some overlap of material between the Kings and the Chronicles, there are also unique features. In short, Kings and Chronicles will take us from the time of David to the period of captivity of both the nations of Israel and Judah. More history, more narrative, and some more repetition. Did you have any idea there would be this much repetition in a reading of the Bible? ;-) But stick with it...we'll make it through, together.
