0:01.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.
0:04.5	From Eden to eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.
0:09.2	My name is Tiffany, and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through
0:14.1	the Bible chronologically.
0:16.2	Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.
0:24.6	Hey, you're in the Bible, friends. Welcome back. Tiffany here, and today we return from our journey through Solomon's wisdom literature to the narrative of his life.
0:35.3	Our chapters today in 1st Kings 10 through 11 and 2 Chronicles 9 detail the
0:41.8	end of Solomon's life for us. And while I'm sure we would all love one of those happy endings
0:47.9	we find in the movies, that is not the case for Solomon. We very quickly realize in these chapters that though Solomon was
0:55.6	wise and wrote many proverbs, he failed to heed his own wisdom. The final years of Solomon's life
1:03.2	serve as a warning to us even today. We must fear the Lord, seek his wisdom, and be obedient.
1:14.1	These chapters also foreshadow the future divided kingdom in the wake of Solomon's disobedience. But through it all, God remains steadfast,
1:22.4	and his covenant promises remain. As you read these chapters, you might have noticed that though the information
1:29.6	is the same, the account in Second Chronicles is much shorter than the two chapters in Kings.
1:37.0	Once again, we want to keep in mind that the chronicler was writing hundreds of years after these
1:42.4	events occurred. His purpose in writing was to encourage the
1:46.7	returning exiles. So, we don't read about Solomon's unfaithfulness or his enemies. As we've said
1:54.3	before, this isn't to sweep Solomon's rebellion against the Lord under the rug. If there was any
2:00.4	group of people who felt the consequences of the divided kingdom, it was the Lord under the rug. If there was any group of people who felt the consequences
2:02.5	of the divided kingdom, it was the returning exiles. They lived the consequences of this sin.
2:09.8	But the chronicler focuses on the aspects of the narrative that remind the exiles that God is faithful
2:16.1	and keeps his promises.
