Listen from:
V.1-9 The reason why Israel has had terrible trouble for the last 2500 years! (Hos. 3:4).
V.10-14 In chapter 5, Solomon had given Hiram all that was agreed upon. These 20 cities were an additional gift, but Hiram called the gift “Cabul” which means “of no value.” Hiram apparently did not appreciate receiving some of the promised land of Israel, thinking more highly of his own city of Tyre.
V.15-23 There was a difference between the Israelites and those of the nations who had previously controlled the land. In Matthew 17:24-27, the Lord Jesus points out this difference to Peter. But then He had Peter pay the tribute money, because at that time the Gentiles were in control.
V.25 In the millennium (see your chart), the sacrifices will be carried on again under the direction of Christ, Israel’s King. The church will never participate in them, for we, the church, will be in heaven at that time.
V.26-28 Solomon’s fame is beginning to spread further through his servants.
