Week 14 - Solomon's Golden Age, The Temple of God, and the Splitting of the Kingdom (2 Samuel 19 - 1 Kings 16)

In this week's reading, David is reestablished as king, he wrongly calls for a census (with a nudging from God?), and he dies. His son takes over and is blessed with great wisdom and riches and builds a temple for the Lord, but he eventually is led astray into idolatry, paving the way for the kingdom to split in his son's reign. Then we look at the beginnings of the two kingdom era in Israel and Judah. Finally, we discuss a question dealing with scribal comments added at a later date. Renderings of what the Temple could have looked like Timeline of Kings Reading plan can be found on the Renewal Church app or at renewaldenver.org/bibleinayear.
