Day 101: Glory, Decline, and DIVISION in 1 Kings 10-12 | Bible In A Year (CSB)


Listen Later

For Day 101 of our "Bible in a Year" playlist, we cover 1 Kings 10-12. Solomon’s reign peaks with wealth and wisdom, impressing the Queen of Sheba, but his idolatry sows seeds of ruin. After his death, the kingdom splits under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, fulfilling God’s judgment and fracturing David’s legacy.Questions:1. Solomon’s fame and riches in chapter 10 glorify God’s blessing—how does this peak challenge us to wrestle with the theological paradox that prosperity can both reveal God’s goodness and tempt us away from dependence on Him?2. Solomon’s turn to idolatry in chapter 11 incurs divine wrath—how might this downfall deepen our understanding of sin as a betrayal of covenant love, and what does it reveal about the fragility of human faithfulness apart from grace?3. The kingdom’s division in chapter 12 fulfills prophecy yet stems from human folly—how does this event invite us to reflect on the theological interplay between God’s sovereign judgment and human agency in the unraveling of His people?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
