November 20, 2024 1 Kings 3:16-28 16  Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.  17  The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.  18  Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house.  19  And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.  20  And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast.  21  When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead. But when I looked at him closely in the morning, behold, he was not the child that I had borne.”  22  But the other woman said, “No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours.” The first said, “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.” Thus they spoke before the king

November 19, 2024 1 Kings 3:3-15 3  Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father, only he sacrificed and made offerings at the high places.  4  And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.  5  At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.”  6  And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.  7  And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.  8  And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to

November 18, 2024 1 Kings 3:1-2 3  Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of David until he had finished building his own house and the house of the Lord and the wall around Jerusalem.  2  The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the Lord. So in these two short verses we are made aware of King Solomon’s behavior and that of the Israelites. They were not to make marriage alliances with any other nation. They were not to worship in high places as that was generally the location of idol worship. Think about your worship of God. Is it for the right reasons? Do we honor God only in our worship? Worshiping God on our own terms instead of God’s is dangerous. Let us always be mindful of honoring God in our worship. Debbie Walker

November 17, 2024 1 Kings 2:28-38 28  When the news came to Joab—for Joab had supported Adonijah although he had not supported Absalom—Joab fled to the tent of the Lord and caught hold of the horns of the altar.  29  And when it was told King Solomon, “Joab has fled to the tent of the Lord, and behold, he is beside the altar,” Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down.”  30  So Benaiah came to the tent of the Lord and said to him, “The king commands, ‘Come out.’” But he said, “No, I will die here.” Then Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”  31  The king replied to him, “Do as he has said, strike him down and bury him, and thus take away from me and from my father's house the guilt for the blood that Joab shed without cause.  32  The Lord will bring back his bloody deeds on his own head, because, without the knowledge of my father David, he attacked and killed with the sword two men more righteous and

November 16, 2024 1 Kings 2:26-27 26  And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your estate, for you deserve death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because you shared in all my father's affliction.”  27  So Solomon expelled Abiathar from being priest to the Lord, thus fulfilling the word of the Lord that he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. King Solomon chose not to put Abiathar to death because he knew this priest has served King David well. However, King Solomon also knew that Abiathar was involved in the plan that Adonijah had hatched to be the next king of Israel. Abiathar had lived most of his life as a loyal servant of God. However, he did not finish strong. He allowed earthly matters to become his focus, which cost him the priestly office. I pray for each of us today that we may finish strong in God’s work and not lose our focus on worldly things. M

November 15, 2024 1 Kings 2:13-25 13  Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, “Do you come peacefully?” He said, “Peacefully.”  14  Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” She said, “Speak.”  15  He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel fully expected me to reign. However, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the Lord.  16  And now I have one request to make of you; do not refuse me.” She said to him, “Speak.”  17  And he said, “Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”  18  Bathsheba said, “Very well; I will speak for you to the king.” 19  So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne and had a seat brought for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.  20  Then she said, “I have one small request t

November 14, 2024 1 Kings 2:1-12 2  When David's time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying,  2  “I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man,  3  and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn,  4  that the Lord may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’ 5  “Moreover, you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with the two commanders of the armies of Israel, Abner the son of Ner, and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, avenging in time of peace for blood that had been shed in war, and putting the blood of war on the be
