What are "high places" and why would a king that did everything else right leave them intact, if God specifically asked for them to be destroyed? Also, what are YOUR "high places"? Asa gets things back on track in a similar fashion to his great-great-grandfather, David...well, except the high places.

Rehoboam's son Abijah (Abijam) takes over Judah and does all the terrible things his father did, but in a much shorter period of time (including having 38 kids in 3 years?!). Somehow, his defiant claim to the lineage of David is enough for God to deliver Jerry's forces into his hands when the odds were stacked against him. How? Your guess is as good as mine!

King Jeroboam's son is in trouble! Jerry sends his wife in a disguise (presumably a moustache-glasses combo) to go to the prophet Ahijah down in Shiloh and hear his premonitions about the boy's fate. What she meets, however, is an ominous prophecy about the future of the king's family...

After the Kingdom of Israel is divided, Jerry and Reho lead the Jewish people astray at various speeds. In both cases, there were warnings and chances for repentance. Unfortunately, neither really followed through. In this episode, we look at how quickly things fell apart under the reign of Solomon's successor. (Spoiler: it was way too fast!)

After the Kingdom of Israel is torn apart and the northern tribes embrace paganism, a prophet is sent on a mission with very specific instructions, instructions that another prophet causes him to violate by lying about receiving his own word from God. This disobedience leads to tragedy, but was it fair?

Solomon's son Rehoboam does a bang-up job of succeeding him as the king of Israel, and immediately has 10 tribes break away and follow Jeroboam, fulfilling the prophecy of the torn cloak. But was reconciliation possible? How could Rehoboam have avoided this situation? Tune in to find out!

Well here we are... Another week, another episode, another couple of people talking about a Bible passage. It all feels a bit old hat, doesn't it? It's been done before, and better. Whatever. Listen if you want. It doesn't matter anyway...

OR DOES IT?!

Solomon's heart was led astray, it is said, by the influence of his 700 wives and 300 concubines. He started his reign well, building the temple in Jerusalem and dedicating his life to Yahweh, but somewhere along the way he completely lost the plot and started accommodating the beliefs of his 1000 women. In this episode, Carys and Ryan discuss how Solomon's reign may have been more like Saul's than David's after all.

Fiona returns for this examination of the latter part of Proverbs 31-- the "ideal" depiction of a woman of excellent character. We go verse by verse, having a laugh, discussing unhealthy standards, the role of a woman in the home and what the heck we can actually do with this interesting acrostic poem.

Jeremy co-hosted Scripture Read Badly from the beginning, along a winding road that dealt with audio issues, Skype delay, conflicting theology and too many good times to count. This is a quick message from him to everyone who has followed this podcast since the start, explaining why he needed to step back.

We wish him well and couldn't be happier with everything he has done for SRB throughout the years.

Thanks, Jeremy!
