This week on Patreon we will catch you up on the storyline of David and Solomon that we don’t read in the reading schedule, but that you need to know in order to understand what is happening. We go into depth into the saga of Solomon being anointed king instead of his older brother. We also show images and video that helps us picture the magnificent building that Solomon engaged in. In this episode Kerry and Dr. Richard Nietzel Holzapfel explore David’s sin. They look at why it is important to understand, how we cannot blame Bathsheba in any way, how David repented, and what it means for us. Then Kerry and Rabbi Grover explore Solomon as a person and then take an in depth look at the temple he builds and what it means for Jews and for Latter-day Saints.
