0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today we briefly interrupt temple details to zoom in on Solomon's personal house, dividing the temple description in half. |
0:20.0 | This is probably an intentional move by the author to illustrate a sad point. |
0:25.0 | Solomon has a divided heart. |
