0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace.
0:04.0	From even to eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.
0:09.0	My name is Tiffany and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through the Bible chronologically.
0:16.0	Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.
0:25.0	Welcome back to the podcast year in the Bible family, Tiffany here, and today we take a look at 1 Kings 7 and 2 Chronicles 4.
0:34.0	Yesterday, we read about the building of the temple and today we read about the items that fill the temple.

2:10.0	Connected to the room, was a hall of pillars and the hall of the throne where Solomon judged the nation.
