1 Kings Book Summary
1 Kings Book Summary The first half of the book of 1 Kings is about when the kingdom was united. Adonijah presumed to be king, but King David proclaims Solomon to be the next king. When David was getting close to death he gave Solomon some wisdom as he was nearing the throne. At one point, the Lord gave Solomon the gift of wisdom, and everyone was amazed by his wise judgements. Later, Solomon starts the process of building the temple. He hired Hiram to be his bronze craftsman and Huram to furnish to the temple. The ark was then brought into the temple, and Solomon blessed the assembly and dedicated the temple to the Lord. The Lord appeared to Solomon a second time and told him that if he walks in His ways that he would establish his kingdom over Israel forever. Later on, Solomon and Hiram exchange gifts. Solomon gives …show more content…
After Rehoboam, Jeroboam became king. He set up golden calves for the Israelites to worship because he did not want the people of Israel to return to the Lord. Then the Lord judged him for leading the people astray, but he also judged the people of Israel for their sin. After Jerobaom had reigned for 22 years he died, and his son Nadab reigned in his place. After him Baasha reigned, then Elah, then Zimri, then, Omri, and then Ahab. After this, Elijah, a prophet, proclaimed that there was to be a drought over the land. Then the Elijah prayed and the drought ended. Soon after, the Lord revealed himself Elijah and showed him who to anoint as the next prophet. This person was Elisha, and he then started to follow Elijah. Also, Ahab, the king of Israel, defeated the Syrians twice before they came to him and asked to make a treaty. After this, Ahab killed a man for his vineyard that resulted in God condemning Ahab for his sins. The prophet Micaiah warns Ahab, and then he died in battle.

In Chapters eight and nine when are introduced to the stories of Gene Rosellini, John Waterman, Carl McCunn, and Everett Ruess. Each man had a different story however obviously the same skeletal structure.

Previously being a 4.0 GPA student and a star athlete, Gene eventually became overcome by his soon-to-be failed hypothesis “convinced that humans had devolved into progressively inferior beings” (Krakauer…

    Bible 105-C05 Research Paper

    During the time of Samuel, Judges ruled the people in Israel. The Israelites said to Samuel, “ You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” (APA, NIV, 1 Samuel 8:5) They desire a king because they thought the other nations having a man, as a leader will help them win their fight battles. Having a king would allow them to be lazy, and have someone else make all the calls and take on the burden of responsibilities they would have to deal with. The Israelites did not trust God’s judgment after the countless times he has provided for them. They wanted to be just like the other nations not knowing what God had in store for them. God being a favorable God give them what they wanted.…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    Summary Of A Single Story By Thomas King

    A Single Story is a Bent Story: Debunking the Glorification of Christopher Columbus Understanding the history of indigenous people in North America is crucial to avoid the falsely attributed, close-minded single story that casts Christopher Columbus as a historical hero.

With his allegorical approach that features a nave coyote, King challenges the single story of the discovery of North America and warns readers of the dangers imbedded in holding this type of perspective.

    Chapter 2 of The New Jim Crow focuses on how the system of mass incarceration works. Alexander concentrates on the "War on Drugs," because "convictions for drug offenses are the single most important cause of the explosion in incarceration rates in the United States." Early on, she exposes myths, noting that the war is not "aimed at ridding the nation of drug 'kingpins' or big-time drug dealers," and the drug war is not "principally concerned with dangerous drugs" (60).…

    All The King's Men Analysis

    Passage 1: In this first passage the author describes the scenic views of the rolling countryside as he and Willie Stark drive to Mason City for some quick press photos at Willies old house. The author spends a great deal of time in this passage detailing the landscape and introducing figures. The entire passage reminds me of the time in which I was driving out to Arizona this summer with my family. Our drive as was the one in the book was highly defined by the apparition of rolling country hills, thick forestry, and a surreal sort of feeling that hung over the car's atmosphere. As in the book were the main character Jack Burden pondered…

Samuel was directed to anoint Saul to rule over Israel and to deliver them from the Philistines. In 1 Samuel 15:24 Saul approached Samuel saying,” I have sinned, I violated God’s command and your instructions.” Saul stated, he was afraid of the men and chose to give in to them. Saul beg for forgiveness, but it was too late. Samuel replied to Saul by saying, you rejected the word of God, so God rejected you as king over Israel. Saul was more concern about what the people was going to say about him instead of getting his character right with God. Saul wanted Samuel to go worship with him to prove to the people he was still supporting him .In the beginning God used Samuel to warn His people about problems connected with…

For example Macon Dead II loved the thrill of taking off Ruth's shoes and stocking but as time passed he simply hated her and wasn't afraid to hit her either. From Ruth's perspective she just craved loved and wanted someone to fill her void since he husband would no longer show her an ounce of appreciation. Ruth then decided that Milkman would be her champion and she would love him and hopefully that love would be reciprocated and this relationship would eventually lead her to breastfeeding Milkman even when he was too old for it and thus him receiving…

    In the beginning there was one supreme being who created all. He was a tall, youthful God with gentle hands and an understanding heart of love.
