1 Kings 5–7
from One Accord Hosted by The Exalted Christ
Solomon spends seven years building a house for the name of the Lord and thirteen building his own palace. Is that a misplaced priority, or is it exactly backward from how modern readers assume? In this episode of The One Accord Podcast, Joe, Eric, and Greg work verse by verse through 1 Kings 5-7, wrestling with what it means for God's name to dwell in a building He cannot be contained by, why the temple site had to be silent, whether the carved cherubim and palm trees echo Eden, and what a skeptic should make of chapters filled with cubits and pomegranates. It is a conversation about craftsmanship, covenant, compromise, and why the boring parts of Scripture may be the most historically anchored parts of it.
