1 Kings

1 Kings 1‑22
Listen from:
The government of Solomon. David’s death, Solomon’s reign in peace and building of the Temple, followed by declension and division. The history of Israel (rather than Judah), having 19 wicked kings, and the prophet Elijah sent to Israel, on the ground of responsibility. The temple in Kings is a figure of heaven our future reigning place, and therefore the veil is not mentioned (in 2 Chron. 3:14 it is). Both books were originally one.
B.C. 1015-897, making 118 years.
