Chapter Summary
The Bible: The First Kings of Israel
In this chapter, we will learn about the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. The Israelites
wanted to have a king and be like all the other nations, but with a king come many
hardships.
We will discover
the truth that even those called by God to do great things—as King David was—are still tempted and commit sin. Finally we will learn about King Solomon and his prayer for wisdom that he might faithfully guide the people of Israel.
