Books read in 2021: No. 13 -- The First Book of the Kings

published by Zondervan

Started: March 12
Finished: March 14

Notes: The Bible isn't going to read itself, so I return to my studies of it.

Mini review: This book details the final years of King David and the reign of King Solomon. I was surprised to learn Solomon had lost some of God's favor in the king's forget years, information I had forgotten if I had ever known it. The rest of the book concerns a long series of kings of Israel and Judah, most worse than the one before and falling to sin in the eyes of God, often by creating and worshipping idols. A few of these kings were still considered Godly men, but not many.
