1 Kings 10:1-29: Wisdom and Wealth
Manage episode 483125192 series 2094168
Solomon's fame spreads throughout the world, so much so that the queen of Sheba comes to hear and see him for herself. She exclaims that Solomon's wisdom and wealth have far surpassed the report and proclaims blessing upon the LORD for the way He has loved His people by giving them a faithful ruler. Solomon's wealth truly was extravagant, not only in gold and silver, but in a wealth of commodities. Despite such prosperity, this chapter continues to reveal Solomon's slow slide away from the LORD, as he fails to live according to the instructions given to kings in Deuteronomy 17.
Rev. Phillip Fischaber, pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Walnut, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Kings 10:1-29.

"A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ.
Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
