Guiding Questions: I Kings 2

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

With what other verse in the Bible does David’s charge in I Kings 2:4 resonate?
What did Yoav “do” to David to incur his wrath?
Where is the “City of David” now located?
What might have been the rationale for Solomon’s severe reaction to Adoniyahu’s request? King David never instructed Solomon to deal so harshly with his brother!
What sin did Shimi commit against King David?
Notice that Solomon never does his own killing. He always appoints an agent.
