The biblical storyline takes a leap forward when the LORD’s glory fills the Temple. While this moment is significant, it also becomes clear that the Temple isn’t the end goal.Listen to Alex Duke, Jim Hamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss 1 Kings 8:1–30.

1 Kings 8:1–30: On the Glory of YHWH Filling the House of YHWH (Ep. 118)

The Lord's presence has more or less been a nomad since Genesis 3. But with the temple, he's about to have a permanent address (kind of). In this episode of Bible Talk, Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about 1 Kings 6–7.

1 Kings 6:2–7:51: On the Extraordinary Architecture of the Ark for the Ark (Ep. 117)

So . . . Jim Hamilton had a wild idea: let's do a whole episode on 1 Kings 6:1. Alex Duke was dubious, even aghast. But he and Sam Emadi obliged. This conversation is the result. In this episode of Bible Talk, they talk about burn layers and interpretive priority and Indiana Jones.

1 Kings 6:1: Yep, A Whole Episode on Just One Verse (Ep. 116)

The story of the Old Testament is the story of God's people returning to God's presence. The building of the temple significantly advances that story. In 1 Kings 5, we get Phase 1 of Solomon's construction project. Alex Duke, Jim Hamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss.

1 Kings 5: On the Bible's Memory Palace Which Prepares Us for Phase 1 of Solomon's Temple-Building Project (Ep. 115)

Solomon is wise. Solomon is wealthy. Solomon is worth listening to. This is his Platinum Age, better than anything that came with his father David. Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about 1 Kings 3:16–4:34.
