Chew the Bible

North vs. South 1 Kings 12 Chew the Bible Season 3

After Solomon dies, his son Rehoboam becomes king. The people of Israel, led by Jeroboam, ask Rehoboam to lighten the heavy burden his father placed on them. Rehoboam consults two groups for advice:

• ​ The elders say, “Be kind and serve the people—they will be loyal.”
• ​ His young friends say, “Be tougher than your dad!”

Rehoboam follows the bad advice, saying he’ll be harsher than Solomon. The people rebel, and ten tribes break away, crowning Jeroboam as king of Israel (the north). Only Judah stays loyal to Rehoboam in the south.

Jeroboam, afraid people will return to Rehoboam if they worship in Jerusalem, makes two golden calves and sets up false worship in Bethel and Dan. This becomes a major sin for Israel.

Solomon’s Slidepieces 🛝👸🏽 1 Kings 11 Chew the Bible Season 3

In 1 Kings 11, King Solomon’s heart turns away from God. Even though he was wise, he loved many foreign women—700 wives and 300 concubines—including Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. God had warned Israel not to marry foreign women because they might lead them to worship other gods—and that’s exactly what happened.

Solomon built altars and temples for pagan gods like Ashtoreth, Molech, and Chemosh, to please his wives. This deeply angered the Lord, who had appeared to Solomon twice and specifically commanded him not to follow other gods.

As a result, God declared that the kingdom would be torn away from Solomon’s dynasty after his death, though not completely. For the sake of David, God would leave one tribe under Solomon’s son’s rule.

Then adversaries began to rise against Solomon: Hadad the Edomite, Rezon of Damascus, and Jeroboam, a servant of Solomon who would eventually rule over the northern tribes.

Solomon reigned 40 years in Jerusalem, and when he died, his son Rehoboam succeeded him.

Queen Sheba 👸🏽 1 Kings 10 Chew the Bible Season 3

In 1 Kings 10, the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon after hearing about his great wisdom and wealth. She arrives in Jerusalem with a grand entourage, bringing spices, gold, and precious stones. She tests Solomon with hard questions, and he answers them all with ease, impressing her deeply.

She is amazed not only by his wisdom, but by the grandeur of his palace, the food on his table, the servants, and the burnt offerings he made at the Temple. She praises God for blessing Solomon and making him king to uphold justice and righteousness.

The chapter also describes Solomon’s immense wealth — ships bring in gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. He builds a grand throne of ivory overlaid with gold, and silver becomes so common in Jerusalem, it was considered of little value.

Solomon’s splendor attracts visitors from all over the earth. His fame and fortune are unmatched, and his wisdom draws kings and queens from distant lands.

Solomon's Navy ⚓️ 1 Kings 9 Chew the Bible Season 3

Summary of 1 Kings 9

After Solomon finished building the Temple and his royal palace, God appeared to him a second time. The Lord reminded Solomon that He had heard his prayer and chosen the Temple as a sacred place. God promised to bless Solomon’s reign and keep his royal line going if Solomon remained faithful like his father David.

However, God also gave a warning: if Solomon or his descendants turned away from Him and worshiped other gods, Israel would be cut off from the land, and the Temple would become a ruin and a shame among the nations.

The chapter then describes Solomon’s dealings with King Hiram of Tyre, who helped supply materials for the building projects. Solomon gave Hiram 20 cities in Galilee, but Hiram was disappointed with them and called them “Cabul,” meaning “worthless.”

Solomon also used forced labor for his building projects and expanded his kingdom’s infrastructure, including cities, storage areas, and military outposts.
