2 Chronicles 8, 1 Kings 9, Ecclesiastes 1-2, Psalm 112

2 Chronicles 8 - 1:07 . 1 Kings 9 - 4:44 . Ecclesiastes 1 - 10:47 . Ecclesiastes 2 - 13:40 . Psalm 112 - 19:19 . Today, we’re going to be in four different books of the Old Testament, which makes this episode the record-holder in number of places. Don’t worry, though: it’s not any longer than the average episode. In 2 Chronicles and 1 Kings we’ll cover Solomon’s imposition of forced labor over non-Israelites and the initial institution of worship in the Lord’s temple. From there, we’ll transition to the book of Ecclesiastes, a wisdom book written by King Solomon. In it, the king tests the bounds of all that could be seen as valuable to men, and finds them all to be empty without God at the center. Finally, we’ll read a short Psalm. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.
