Summary

Fr. Mike explains why it's better to seek counsel from those who don't necessarily always agree with us, using the experience of Rehobo′am as an example. He also touches on the failed leadership of Jerobo′am as he leads his people into false places of worship and idolatry. Today's readings are 1 Kings 12, 2 Chronicles 10-11, and Song of Solomon 1.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we
0:07.8	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is
0:11.8	brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from
0:15.3	Genesis to Revelation. Discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that
0:19.7	story today, it is day 162. We are beginning a new period, time period, the period of the divided kingdom.
0:26.1	We'll be here for the next 21 days in the period of the divided kingdom.
0:30.5	It is, if you've listened to the podcast with Jeff and myself talking about this time period
0:35.7	of the divided kingdom. There are lots of
0:37.8	ups and downs. There are lots of people. There are lots of names. You thought First Chronicles was
0:41.7	rough. This is going to be not rough in terms of names, but in terms of there's a lot of action,
0:48.0	both in the North, in the New Kingdom of Israel and in the South, in the new kingdom of Judah.
0:52.4	And so we're launching in today. It's, as I said,
0:54.7	day 162, we're reading from First Kings chapter 12 and Second Chronicles 10 and 11. Now, when we hear this,
1:00.0	when you read First Kings 12 and Second Chronicles 10, you're going to say, wait, did you literally just
1:05.0	say the exact same thing? Are you reading the same thing? Because it sounds very similar, at least at first. And so just keep that in mind.
1:11.3	It's going to be kind of the same story, the story of the division of the kingdom told immediately.
1:15.5	And then, actually today, we're also introducing a new book, the book of the Song of Solomon,
1:21.0	Chapter 1.
1:21.7	As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard version,
1:24.9	the second Catholic edition.
1:25.8	I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan,
1:29.8	you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. You can also subscribe to this podcast
