Guiding Questions: I Kings 4

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What was the role of the twelve officers that Solomon appointed over Israel?
How is the word “chevel” (I Kings 4:13) used in Joshua 19:9? Is its meaning there similar to the word’s usage in our chapter?
What is the place “Beit She’an” famous for?
What is the connection of the last verse in this chapter to the beginning of the chapter (especially I Kings 4:7)? Notice the newly found security of the Kingdom of Israel!
