0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today's reading had a lot of overlap in the story of dedicating the First Temple, |
0:16.7 | but there are still new things to notice and learn about God, so let's get to it. |
0:21.2 | There was one thing in chapter six that we've seen a few times before and it always |
0:24.9 | catches my attention. It's when David tells God that he wants to build the temple and God says no, but he also |

1:12.0 | then hear in heaven and forgive. |
1:14.0 | Solomon says the people will pray to God toward the temple |
1:18.0 | and God will hear from heaven. |
1:20.0 | This also reinforces the fact that he's a different kind of God from all the other gods. |
1:25.0 | Those gods can only occupy one space, but God occupies all space. |
