Guiding Questions: I Kings 5

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

To what river does I Kings 5:1 refer?
Notice again in I Kings 5:9 the distinction between”chochma” and “tivunah.” Recall the possible different meanings to these terms.
What is a “mashal”? (I Kings 5:12)
To appreciate why Solomon was the one to build the Temple read Deuteronomy 12:5-11. It was only during Solomon’s time, as the first chapters of the book of Kings relate, that the conditions these verses describe were met.
Without getting lost in the details of the numbers listed at the end of the chapter, appreciate the enormity of the project Solomon undertook.
