0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
0:13.0 | Two days ago we read in First Kings 1-2 how Solomon was appointed king. |
0:17.6 | Yesterday we read in Psalm 119 about how God is the giver of wisdom, and today those two |
0:22.4 | streams flow into the same river. |
0:24.4 | It's a good thing that Solomon asked God for wisdom and we'll get to that in a minute, |

1:11.7 | In fact, he should be the one setting an example. |
1:14.1 | He's the leader. |
1:15.7 | Unfortunately, much like his father David, women are his weak spot. |
1:21.2 | Solomon loves Yahweh, but he also likes to sacrifice to pagan gods. |
