David's son Adonijah conspires to make himself king, but when David learns of it, he confirms Solomon as his successor. Adonijah begs for mercy from Solomon, who grants it. I. THE COLDNESS OF DAVID (1:1-4): As David grows old, he becomes unable to keep warm, so his advisers find a beautiful young woman to keep him warm. II. THE CONSPIRACY BY ADONIJAH (1:5-10): Adonijah, a half brother of Solomon, attempts to crown himself king in his father's place. He is helped by Joab and Abiathar the priest, and he invites most of the royal officials and David's sons to attend a sacrifice at En-rogel. III. THE COUNTERPLOT BY NATHAN (1:11-27): Nathan hears of Adonijah's plan and works to ensure that Solomon will become the next king. A. Nathan meets with Bathsheba (1:11-21): Nathan instructs Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, to report Adonijah's behavior to David, reminding the dying king that he has already promised his throne to Solomon. B. Nathan meets with David (11:22-27): As planned, Nathan comes in just as Bathsheba is finishing talking with David, and he tells David the same thing that she has told him. IV. THE COMMAND BY DAVID (1:28-37) A. His intentions (1:28-31): David reassures Nathan and Bathsheba that Solomon will indeed be Israel's next king. B. His instructions (1:32-37): Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint Solomon, place him on David's mule, blow trumpets, and shout, "Long live King Solomon!" V. THE CROWNING BY ZADOK (1:38-40): The high priest does exactly what David instructed, causing a great celebration among the people of Jerusalem. VI. THE COMPASSION OF SOLOMON (1:41-53): When Adonijah learns that Solomon is the new king, he seeks refuge at the altar of the sacred tent. He asks for mercy from Solomon, who grants it as long as Adonijah remains loyal to him. SECTION OUTLINE TWO (1 KINGS 2) David delivers a charge to Solomon and dies. Solomon executes Adonijah after he makes a request. For supporting Adonijah as king, Abiathar is deposed as priest but not killed. Joab seeks asylum but is put to death. Shimei is killed for disobeying Solomon's orders to remain in Jerusalem. I. SOLOMON AND HIS FATHER (2:1-11): David, whose death is near, speaks his final words to Solomon, the new king. A. David's reminder (2:1-4): David urges Solomon to obey the Lord's commands written in the Law of Moses. B. David's requests (2:5-9): David leaves instructions for Solomon to carry out after David's death. 1. Execute Joab and Shimei for their past crimes. 2. Show kindness to the sons of Barzillai for their past faithfulness. C. David's resting place (2:10-12): David dies after ruling Israel for 40 years. He is buried in the City of David. Solomon becomes king. II. SOLOMON AND HIS FOES (2:13-46) 1 A. Adonijah (2:13-25) 1. The petition (2:13-18): Adonijah desires to marry Abishag, David's former attendant, so he persuades Bathsheba to ask Solomon for this favor. 2. The provocation (2:19-25): Solomon is incensed at such a request, so he orders Adonijah to be put to death! B. Abiathar (2:26-27): Solomon deposes Abiathar as priest because he supported Adonijah as king, but Solomon does not kill him. C. Joab (2:28-35): Solomon orders Joab to be executed for brutally murdering Abner and Amasa. D. Shimei (2:36-46) 1. His disobedience (2:36-40): Solomon allows Shimei to live peacefully in Jerusalem but warns that he will be executed if he leaves the city. Shimei agrees, but three years later he leaves the city to retrieve two runaway slaves. 2. His death (2:41-46): Upon Shimei's return, Solomon has him executed. SECTION OUTLINE THREE (1 KINGS 3-4) Solomon marries one of Pharaoh's daughters. When the Lord offers Solomon anything he wants, he chooses wisdom and manifests it in a dispute between two prostitutes. The officials of Solomon's government are listed. The nation enjoys peace, and Solomon's fame spreads to the surrounding nations. I. THE RISE OF SOLOMON (3:1): As Solomon's power increases and his building projects take shape, he forms an alliance with Pharaoh and marries one of his daughters. II. THE REVELATION TO SOLOMON (3:2-28): After Solomon sacrifices 1,000 burnt offerings, the Lord appears to him in a dream that night. A. The details (3:5-15) 1.

The problem (3:16-22): Two prostitutes gave birth to sons, but one of the babies died. One mother claims that the other mother switched babies and gave her the dead child. 2. The proposal (3:23-25): Solomon proposes to cut the baby in two, giving half to each mother! 3. The protest (3:26): One mother agrees, but the other cries out in protest and is willing to give up the infant that he might live. 4. The pronouncement (3:27-28): Solomon awards the baby to the woman who protested, concluding that she is the real mother. News of Solomon's wisdom spreads throughout Israel. III.

  • “King Selection” 1 Kings 1-2 January 8, 2017 INTRODUCTION: As The
    “King Selection” 1 Kings 1-2 January 8, 2017 INTRODUCTION: As the book of Kings opens, Israel is at a time of uncertainty. The great King David is obviously fading and not long for this life. That’s the point of the opening verses of the book. In the words of one commentary, David is old and cold. His servants try covering him with more clothes, but he is still cold. Then they have another idea. They want to add to his harem the most beautiful woman they can find. Something like a beauty pageant is held, and a woman by the name of Abishag is selected as the most beautiful young woman of the nation. They reason that if she can’t get his blood flowing again, nothing can. But it doesn’t work, for we read that “the king knew her not,” a common euphemism in the Scriptures for sexual intimacy. So David has declined to the point that everyone knows his death is not far away. But a successor has not been named. God had already declared through Nathan the prophet that a son of David would sit on his throne (2 Sam. 7:12), but it was not revealed exactly which son it would be. Two sons compete for the crown in these first two chapters, Adonijah and Solomon. One is the wrong king and the other God’s anointed. As is the case with us, everything depends on having the right king. To make a wrong choice leads to catastrophic results, while making the right choice leads to the fulfillment of our strongest and best longings.

  • 1 Kings 11:14-40 “Solomon's Adversaries”
    1 Kings 11:14-40 “Solomon’s Adversaries” 1 Kings 11:9–10 9 So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had commanded. Where were the Prophets David had? • To warn Solomon of his descent into paganism. • To warn Solomon of how he was breaking the heart of the Lord. o Do you have friends that care enough about you to tell you when you are backsliding against the Lord? o No one in the Electronic church to challenge you, to pray for you, to care for you. All of these pagan women he married (for political reasons?) were of no benefit. • Nations surrounding Israel still hated Solomon • Atheism, Agnostics, Gnostics, Paganism, and Legalisms are never satisfied until you are dead – and then it turns to kill your children and grandchildren. Exodus 20:4–6 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

  • HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS in the SOLOMON NARRATIVE of 1 KINGS 1–11 John A
    HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS IN THE SOLOMON NARRATIVE OF 1 KINGS 1–11 John A. Davies Summary The narrative in 1 Kings 1–11 makes use of the literary device of sevenfold lists of items and sevenfold recurrences of Hebrew words and phrases. These heptadic patterns may contribute to the cohesion and sense of completeness of both the constituent pericopes and the narrative as a whole, enhancing the readerly experience. They may also serve to reinforce the creational symbolism of the Solomon narrative and in particular that of the description of the temple and its dedication. 1. Introduction One of the features of Hebrew narrative that deserves closer attention is the use (consciously or subconsciously) of numeric patterning at various levels. In narratives, there is, for example, frequently a threefold sequence, the so-called ‘Rule of Three’1 (Samuel’s three divine calls: 1 Samuel 3:8; three pourings of water into Elijah’s altar trench: 1 Kings 18:34; three successive companies of troops sent to Elijah: 2 Kings 1:13), or tens (ten divine speech acts in Genesis 1; ten generations from Adam to Noah, and from Noah to Abram; ten toledot [‘family accounts’] in Genesis). One of the numbers long recognised as holding a particular fascination for the biblical writers (and in this they were not alone in the ancient world) is the number seven.

    THE LAST DAYS OF DAVID 2 Samuel 21, 23, 24 and 1 Kings 1 and 2 Act 1: Act 2: Act 3: Narrator Narrator Narrator David David David Joshua Joab Joab Gibeonite 1 Gad, the prophet Adonijah A prophet Josheb, a mighty man Nathan, the prophet Gibeonite 2 Eleazar, a mighty man Bathsheba Rizpah Shammah, a mighty man Solomon Araunah, a Jebusite Benaiah, an army general Jonathan, Abiathar the priest’s son ACT 1: The Gibeonites are avenged NARRATOR: The Bible records several rather odd stories that occurred towards the end of David’s life. The first one involves a people group called the Gibeonites. Back in the time of Joshua, just after Jericho had been destroyed, the Canannites living in the city of Gibeon decided that they would try to avoid being exterminated. They had heard the rumor that the God of the Israelites had told his people to totally wipe out everyone living in the land of Canaan. They believed this would come true and they were very afraid. They decided to try to trick Joshua into making a peace treaty with them. The messengers they sent to Joshua were wearing old clothes and carrying dry and moldy food. JOSHUA: Who are you and where do you come from? GIBEONITE 1: We have come from a distant land. When we started our journey our clothes were new and our food was fresh. You can see how worn out and old they are now. That is because we have been traveling so long to get here. However, we have heard stories about all the things your God has done for you.

  • Innocent Blood — Part One
    ONE SESSION SESSION INNOCENT BLOOD — PART ONE Tel Megiddo, where this session was filmed, is located at a strategic mountain pass overlooking the Plain of Jezreel, which made the city of Megiddo one of the most important cities in ancient Israel. The Via Maris, the main trade route between the dominant world pow- ers of the day — Egypt and the Mesopotamian empires of Assyria, Babylon, and Persia — crossed the mountains at Megiddo. So who- ever controlled the city could exert great power over world trade and have significant influence over world culture. In fact, the Via Maris was one source of Solomon’s wealth because God gave him the political might to control the key cities along that trade route — Hazor, Gezer, and of course Megiddo. Some scholars believe that because of Megiddo’s strategic location more battles have been fought in the Jezreel Valley below it than in any other place in the world. But in the context of the Bible, Megiddo repre- sents more than political control, more than economic and cultural influence. It also represents the battle for spiritual control of the minds and hearts of people — the ongoing battle between good and evil. That battle was waged when the people of ancient Israel lived in the land, it continues to this day, and it will culminate in the bat- tle of Har Megiddo, or Armageddon. So let’s take a closer look at the significance of Tel Megiddo. Centuries before the Israelites settled in the Promised Land (from about 2950 – 2350 BC), Megiddo was a prominent “high place” where the p eople of Canaan worshiped their fertility god, Baal, and his supposed mistress, Asherah.

  • “Ahab” 1 Kings 16:29-19:21 Pastor Bob Singer 09/25/2016
    Fact Sheet for “Ahab” 1 Kings 16:29-19:21 Pastor Bob Singer 09/25/2016 ESV 16:29 ¶ In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him. 31 And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 He erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. 33 And Ahab made an Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. Then we come to a verse that almost seems out of place, but God was following up on an important detail. 34 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun. Almost 550 years earlier at Jericho Joshua gave this prophecy (Joshua 6:26). 17:1 ¶ Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." This would result in a sever famine in Israel.

  • Bible Chronology of the Old Testament the Following Chronological List Is Adapted from the Chronological Bible
    Old Testament Overview The Christian Bible is divided into two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The word “testament” can also be translated as “covenant” or “relationship.” The Old Testament describes God’s covenant of law with the people of Israel. The New Testament describes God’s covenant of grace through Jesus Christ. When we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we enter into a new relationship with God. Christians believe that ALL Scripture is “God-breathed.” God’s Word speaks to our lives, revealing God’s nature. The Lord desires to be in relationship with His people. By studying the Bible, we discover how to enter into right relationship with God. We also learn how Christians are called to live in God’s kingdom. The Old Testament is also called the Hebrew Bible. Jewish theologians use the Hebrew word “Tanakh.” The term describes the three divisions of the Old Testament: the Law (Torah), the Prophets (Nevi’im), and the Writings (Ketuvim). “Tanakh” is composed of the first letters of each section. The Law in Hebrew is “Torah” which literally means “teaching.” In the Greek language, it is known as the Pentateuch. It comprises the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This section contains the stories of Creation, the patriarchs and matriarchs, the exodus from Egypt, and the giving of God’s Law, including the Ten Commandments. The Prophets cover Israel’s history from the time the Jews entered the Promised Land of Israel until the Babylonian captivity of Judah.
