2 Samuel 12 is about the LORD's restoration of David from his low ebb of wilful sin against his Heavenly Father to the time of David's resuming full and free fellowship with God. The prophet Nathan is sent to king David with a parable that was designed to wake the king from his state of selfishness and stir him into a recognition of what he had done. Only true repentance could restore him and the lesson learnt becomes an impetus for each of us to turn to the LORD to find healing. Nathan tells a parable about a wealthy arrogant and self centred man who takes from the poor man a precious ewe lamb, that was like a daughter to that man. How typical it is for some wealthy individuals to believe that the destitute exist for them to be exploited. This, however, was not characteristic of David. And so David was enraged at the lack of pity which the rich man had shown. Sin was the traveller who came to David and who caused David to behave uncharacteristically. The king commanded the death of the rich man and compensation of four times the loss be paid to the poor man. This was of course what the Law had demanded for a trespass offering. This offering spoke of restitution for deceit in relation to the holy things. Nathan dramatically says to David: You are the man. David fully understands his guilt, deception and lack of pity. David is condemned by his own mouth and is worthy to die. No offering could cover his sin. All he could do was to throw himself upon the mercy of the Almighty. The prophet says that the sword would not depart from David's house. David was to pay with the loss of four sons - the child that was born of his adultery with Bathsheba, Absalom, Amnon and Adonijah. As king David had done with Uriah's wife Bathsheba, so would David's son  - Absalom - do with the wives of his father David - but openly before all Israel. Nathan tells the king that Yahweh has put away David's transgression. Our sins will be forgiven if we repent and turn our hearts to our Sovereign. That doesn't mean that there will not be consequences flowing from our wrongs. Verses 16-23 tells us that the child born to Bathsheba became sick and died. David entreated his Maker to allow the child to live. The king was full of contrition and afflicted himself with fasting and not allowing music in his presence. When his son died David's servants were frightened to tell him lest he do something regrettable. But David rose up and washed putting on fresh clothes. They asked him why? He said he had hoped that God would show mercy to the child, but now the child had died entreating was pointless. David would, when he died, join his son in the unconscious sleep of death. Consolation was given to David and Bathsheba in the birth of another son who was born in a manner that pleased their Heavenly Father. Verse 26 records that Yahweh loved this child who was given the epithet - Jedidiah meaning "loved of Yah" and that child was later named Solomon meaning "peaceful". After being forgiven David wrote Psalms 32 and 51 to celebrate the mercy and loving kindness of the LORD God Almighty and to teach others about turning to their loving Father in the time of their need - see also Paul's comments in Romans 4 verses 5-8. 2 Samuel 12 finishes by describing the fall of Rabbah to Joab and the army and Joab's summoning David to be there as the city fell. It also describes David being crowned with the crown of the king of Rabbah and the great treasure taken. The Ammonites were then put to rigorous work by David.  Jeremiah 16 verses 1-4 tell of the LORD commanding Jeremiah not to marry because of the nearing judgments of God on Judah. The nation would be destroyed through famine, warfare and diseases leaving their carcasses as unburied dung on the ground. Verses 5-9 speak of the vast extent of the destruction. There would be no time to mourn the dead because of the uproar and chaos that rapidly spread over Judah. Normal life would be suspended as the exiles were dragged away with hooks through their bodies. In verses 10-13 the nation would bemoan their condition and protest that they did not deserve such treatment. Verses 14-21 foretell their restoration by their Almighty Sovereign. At that time Yahweh would be known for His deliverance of His people from the northern captivity rather than when He had earlier gained a Name for delivering His nation from Egypt. Verses 16-18 reveal that prior to this time of restoring GOD would save them from life threatening destruction. Modern Israel came through great pogroms and near extinction during the Nazi holocaust. The Nazis were the "hunters" whereas the Zionists - such as Theodore Hertzl - were the "fishers" who sought to entice Jewish people to return to their ancestral homeland - Israel: see Ezekiel 37-38, Deuteronomy 28 verses 64-68. Verses 19-21 say that eventually Israel would acknowledge their sins and idolatry and finally return to the true and living God. In that day Israel will know their God by experience and not just theoretically: Ezekiel 37:28; 38 verse 23, Joel 3 verses 14-21; Romans 11 verses 13-24. Matthew 27 starts with Judas hanging himself when he saw that Jesus would not take his kingdom then, but would wrongfully suffer and submit to death. Then follow six sham trials - three before Jewish authorities and three before Roman officials. The marvel of our Lord's submission, his care and compassion for others is evident in the brief record of his crucifixion. Our Lord Jesus was totally in control of his mind despite being brutally scourged by the Romans - scourging was called the intermediate death for many a man died under the flaying of his flesh. Pilate may have hoped that the Jews would have pity on Jesus when he said: "Behold the man". But sadly  they did not. Then our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. On the stake he spoke seven wonderful sayings - each of these from the holy Scriptures. Note our Lord Jesus' incredible submission to his wrongful treatment and contemplate the lessons that Peter draws for us in 1 Peter 2 verses18-25. That Jesus had mastery over himself as well as triumphing over his foes the Apostle Paul tells us: Colossians 2 verses 11-15. Jesus was buried in the unused tomb of Joseph of Aramithea, in fulfilment of the prophecy of Isaiah 53 verse 9. A guard  of four temple soldiers was placed at the mouth of his tomb. This would contribute to the incontrovertible evidence that would accompany our Lord Jesus' resurrection.

Message Take Aways:1. David provided his son Solomon with wise instruction that his throne and legacy might be established in righteousness, and our heavenly Father has graciously provided us with divine instruction through His word and we will be blessed by obeying it—“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-172. The stubborn pride of Adonijah generated an insolence toward God's anointed king Solomon and it eventually resulted in his destruction reminding us of the need to humble ourselves and submit to the plans of the Lord rather than scheming or fighting against His will—“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:183. As Solomon took initiative to remove any wickedness that opposed or threatened the establishment of his kingdom, we too are wise to wage war against the sinful practices of our flesh—“Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” Colossians 3:5

Message Take Aways:1. The pride of Adonijah wrongly presumed himself worthy of being exalted as king, but the Lord had plans to exalt the humble Solomon to fulfill His promised word and we can trust that God will honor His word to exalt all those who humbly trust in Him—“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time” 1 Peter 5:62. As David promised to fulfill his vows as a response to the Lord's constant faithfulness, so we should be a people who desire to live with integrity to glorify God by reflecting His character—“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your ‘Yes' be ‘Yes,' and your ‘No,' ‘No,' lest you fall into judgment.” James 5:123. As a proclamation went out from the throne of David to announce Solomon as the true king of Israel, so God the Father has declared Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords whom He will reveal in due time—“He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,” 1 Timothy 6:15

We Don't Always Get A Last CallScripture References:1 Kings 1:1-131 Kings 1:28-53Key Points:1.  Adonijah like most people in the world received a call to do right, but choose to do the wrong for spite.1 Kings 2:13-252.  There is an old saying "who cannot hear will feel" so my advise is, start listening to God and avoid some painful feelings.Acts 5:1-113.  Ananias and Sapphira didn't get a last call warning to speak the truth, so they died like 2 brutes, so consider this as our call to be honest, as we look forward to enjoying Heaven's treasure chest.Luke 9:57-624.  Now is the time to do more for God, instead of laying around and just snore for God, tell a Neighbor, tell a friend to repent of their sins before life ends.1 John 1:5-10

In our last episode, Solomon's brother Adonijah tried to take the throne while David was on his death bed. His plan failed, and Solomon successfully ascended to the throne. During the attempted coup, Adonijah recruited Abiathar the priest and Joab, David's former commander. Since then, Adonijah has been executed, Abiathar has been banished, and today. Joab will be executed. Later, the Lord appears to King Solomon in a dream, and instead of asking for wealth or long life, he asks the Lord for wisdom to lead God's people. This pleases the Lord, who promises blessing upon Solomon's reign, including both wisdom and wealth.1 Kings 2:28 - 1:08 . 1 Kings 3 - 5:16 . 1 Kings 4 - 11:37 . 2 Chronicles 1 - 16:55 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today we'll be reading about the death of King David from two sources. The first will be from 1 Chronicles as we conclude that book. In this reading, we'll hear a prayer that David gives in the assembly of the leaders of Israel, followed by a brief account of Solomon coming to power as king. Our second reading will be from 1 Kings, which gives a much more dramatic perspective on what took place during that transition of power. David's oldest son, Adonijah, gains support for himself from well-known leaders like Joab and Abiathar, calling Judah together for a feast to celebrate his bid for kingship. Nathan the prophet catches word, and teams up with Bathsheba to alert the king that Solomon's title of king is being contested in an underhanded scheme to usurp David's decree.1 Chronicles 29:10 - 1:08 . 1 Kings 1 - 6:33 . 1 Kings 2 - 18:01 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

What happens when you chase success, status, or control—without asking God first? In this powerful episode of The Youth Room, we explore the tragic story of Adonijah, the man who looked like a king but never became one. His downfall? Pride, self-promotion, and ignoring God's plan.You'll hear:

Teaching from Sunday AM service by Pastor Jeff Miles

With King David on his death bed, the royal family knows that the time to transfer power is drawing near. David's oldest son, Adonijah, gains support for himself from well-known leaders like Joab and Abiathar, calling Judah together for a feast to celebrate his bid for kingship. Nathan the prophet catches word, and teams up with Bathsheba to alert the king.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the scriptures, opening our hearts to God's Word and presence.

David gives his son an impassioned charge to know and serve God wholeheartedly, entrusting him with the plans for the temple. Psalm 91 offers words of refuge and assurance in God's protection, while 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to live as children of light—encouraging one another, remaining thankful, and holding fast to hope as we await the Lord's return.

Adonijah means "the Lord is my God." Yet, Adonijah was not letting God be God in his life. No. Adonijah was betraying the very meaning of his name. He was attempting to crown himself as the sovereign. He let his flesh and pride put himself forward as the king, and he was persuasive in this. He convinced military commanders, politicians, and even some of his own family to go along with him. But God is faithful even when we are unfaithful. God is going to have the final word, even when it seems that the king is absent or out of commission—as Adonijah may have thought about his father, King David. But David was still king. And like David, God will have the final word. Even though he may seem absent or out of commission, rest assured, there is a King. It's not us, and he will have the final say. The one on the throne is far greater than Adonijah, David, or our flesh. It's our Lord Jesus, and he is not absent. No. He is with you today. So let's surrender to him. Let's participate with him and his kingdom and his purposes for our lives, because he has the final word. He rules and is over all, and he is good. May God help us to willfully and joyfully walk with him, serve him, and love him. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Merciful God, you have brought us through the night into this new day. We offer you our lives again, our hopes, our fears, our work, our rest. Keep us faithful in the little things and mindful of your presence in every moment. Let us not be led by anxiety or pride, but by your peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord Jesus, you stretched wide your arms on the cross to draw all people to yourself. Draw the hurting, the hungry, the weary. Break down every wall of hostility, and build us into one family by your Spirit. Amen. And now, Lord, teach me to walk, not with fear, but with faith. Where there is noise, let me be still. Where there is boasting, let me be quiet. Where there is suffering, let me kneel. Let me not crave recognition, but righteousness. Not applause, but communion. For in you, I have life. And in dying with you, I rise. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Solomon's sole reign over Israel begins with several challenges to his rightful rule. Solomon recognizes Adonijah's request to marry Abishag as an attempt to usurp the throne of Israel, so Solomon swiftly executes his treacherous brother. Joab, the general who had sided with Adonijah, realizes that he is in danger as well. He unsuccessfully flees for refuge to the horns of the altar, and the innocent blood Joab shed is brought back upon his head. While Shimei is given the opportunity to remain alive, he breaks the terms of the agreement he made with Solomon, and Shimei too is executed. In each of these incidents, Solomon acts within his authority as king over Israel, and the LORD establishes Solomon's throne.  Rev.

Adonijah and his supporters quickly realize with terror that Solomon will be king after David. Adonijah pleads for Solomon's mercy and receives it, along with a warning that Adonijah prove himself faithful to the rightful king of Israel. Solomon begins to reign alongside of David before David dies. David instructs Solomon to be faithful to the word of the LORD and to enact true justice in a few open cases from David's reign. When David dies, he goes to sleep in the LORD, and Solomon reigns as king in his place.  Rev. David Appold, pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Paducah, KY, joins host Rev.

The book of Kings begins where Samuel left off. David is old and near the end of his reign, but he has not clearly laid out which son will succeed him as king. Adonijah attempts to take advantage of the situation to establish himself as king, with the help of Abiathar and Joab. However, Nathan the prophet knows the intent of David and the LORD. Nathan enlists the help of Bathsheba to remind David of his previous promise that Solomon would reign as king over Israel next. David takes quick action to proclaim Solomon as king publicly.  Rev.

The seventh of the seven Penitential Psalms is Psalm 143 which has been attributed to King David. Although relatively speaking, David is the innocent party in his conflicts with Saul, Absalom, and Adonijah, he recognizes that his own sins make him unworthy of claiming any blessings from the Lord. Like a parched land, there is a dire need sapping the life of the penitent. God provides sustenance for the thirsty penitent in the hope of the LORD’S promised deliverance.

Plenty of passages might leave us wondering what's going on. 1st Kings 2 is probably one of them. Today, we'll discuss the unsettling accounts of several executions that took place in the early days of Solomon's reign. Although these may not fit the sense of justice in our day, we'll see that they ultimately remind us to be looking for the Kingdom of Christ. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    As this chapter opens, what does verse 1 let us know is about to happen?  2.    The podcast reminds us that Solomon is regarded as the wisest person who ever lived. According to his words in Proverbs 4:3, where did he get his wisdom? 3.    In verses 2-4, David gives Solomon three primary exhortations for life. What are they?  a.     b.     c.     4.    In verses 5-9, David gives various instructions regarding various people. What might these instructions show us about the condition of David's heart at this point? 5.    After David died in verse 10, how was Solomon's kingdom described in verse 12? What does this tell us about the Lord's blessings upon Solomon?  6.    Later, in verse 13, Adonijah wanted Solomon to give him David's handmaiden, Abishag. How does Solomon interpret this request in verse 22? What happens to Adonijah in verse 25? 7.    Next, the passage focuses on Joab who was one of the men who supported Adonijah. What happened to Joab in verse 34? 8.    Verses 36 to 46 ends with the account of Shimei. Shimei was one of the people who mocked David back in 2nd Samuel 16. What happens to Shimei in this passage?  9.    The podcast reviews this passage in the light of people who disregarded law. Adonijah followed the law of self. Joab followed the law of ruthlessness and personal whim. Shimei disregarded the law. How are people sometimes a “law unto themselves” even today?  10.    How does the events of this chapter further help us see that the kingdoms ruled by mere men will always be imperfect? How does this help us focus on the kingdom of Christ?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

There are times when life can bring us all kinds of tumultuous upheaval. We may even be in the “right” but having everything go against us. Today in our study of 1st Kings 1, we'll see that as Solomon become king, several people had to follow a difficult path; yet they were ultimately blessed by the Lord for their faithfulness. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The opening verses give us an unsettling situation with David. What does this tell us about David and his probity at this point in his life?  2.    In verse 5, what did David's son Adonijah decide to do? How is Adonijah's decision in verse 5 at odds with David's statements in verse 17? Given the situation with his father, was this the right step at this time?  3.    Which people were in support of Adonijah in verse 7? Who was missing from his support base in verse 8? Why were these absences important? 4.    What does this clandestine, secretive behavior indicate about the righteousness of Adonijah and his support base's actions?  5.    In verse 9, what religious activity does Adonijah have performed? Why do you think he did this? Which example is this following, that of his father David or the example of Saul?  6.    What does Nathan do, in verses 11 and following, to save the day? What kind of courage would this have taken for Nathan? What would be the risk of usurping a young, brash, self-appointed king? 7.    What does Bathsheba do in this passage? How does David respond to her?  8.    What does David say to do with Solomon in verses 33 to 35? How did the people respond when they saw this in verses 40?  9.    How did Adonijah respond to this new development in verse 50? Why did he grab the horns of the altar? What did Solomon say regarding Adonijah in verses 51-53?  10.    The podcast mentioned that Solomon's decision to ascend the throne peacefully ultimately enabled Jesus to be related by blood to David through David's son Nathan. How so?  11.    There are times in life when we face all kinds of upheaval. In this passage who was following God, despite the difficult path set before them? What was the outcome of their faithfulness?  12.    What insights can we glean from this passage about staying the course and trusting the outcome to the Lord?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Ultime esortazioni di Davide a Salomone e sua morte. Adonijah, Joab e Scimei messi a morte da Salomone. Abiathar destituito dal suo ufficio di sacerdote

Adonijah si costituisce re. Davide designa come re Salomone.

This is the first episode of our new series on The Rise and Fall of King Solomon. In this series, we explore how Solomon's life serves as an archetype—not only for the development of human nature and leadership but also for God's vision for Israel and the nations.In this episode, we begin with Solomon's birth and the significance of the two names he receives—one from his father, David, and another from the Lord Himself, notably through a prophet. These names hint at the tension that will shape his reign: the promise of divine favor and the challenge of living up to it.We then turn to the dramatic events surrounding Solomon's rise to the throne. His kingship was not a smooth transition—it was contested by his brother Adonijah, supported by a priest and a military general - but conveniently, no prophet signed on to it. Likewise, Solomon's anointing evidenced a lack of prophetic influence, being anointed solely by a Zadok the priest alone, which in turn foreshadowed a declining prophetic influence in Solomon's reign. This missing prophetic element would prove disastrous as Solomon's heart drifted from God. The prophets were meant to keep Israel's leaders aligned with God's purposes, yet the absence of a prophetic voice in the key moments of Solomon's leadership and development contributed to an underlying weakness in his leadership—one that would later lead to his downfall.We close by contrasting Solomon's kingship with that of Jesus, the true King of Israel. Unlike Solomon, Jesus willingly submitted to the prophetic voice of his day - John the Baptist - embracing John's baptism as a sign of obedience and alignment with God's will. This contrast reveals a profound truth: great leadership is not about personal ambition or unchecked power but about walking in step with God's will.Key Passages:2 Samuel 12:24-25 1 Kings 1:5-10, 32-40Matthew 3:13-17Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

Today's daf is sponsored by Blima Shorchein in loving memory of her mother, Mazal (Tina) bat Rina and David. When King Shlomo executed Yoav ben Tzruya, what was his legal justification? The Gemara details a series of trials: First, Shlomo tried Yoav for killing Avner ben Ner, but Yoav defended himself by claiming it was justified vengeance for Avner's murder of his brother Asael. Next, Shlomo tried him for the killing of Amasa ben Yeter, but again Yoav provided justification for his actions, as Asael rebelled against the king. Finally, Shlomo tried him for an unambiguous crime - joining Adonijah's rebellion against King David - and it was for this act of treason that Yoav was ultimately executed. While the Gemara demonstrates that Yoav's execution was legally justified, it also acknowledges that he possessed notable positive qualities. Regarding the four death penalties prescribed by the Jewish courts: What is their hierarchical order in terms of severity? Which is considered the most severe and which the least? When we find lists of items or actions in the Mishna presented in a specific order, should we understand this ordering as deliberately meaningful or merely incidental?

How did Adonijah try to take the crown? Who was the rightful king?

We begin our journey though the book of 1 Kings. This important Old Testament narrative traces the royal lineage of David, beginning with Solomon. There will be highs and plenty of lows. And in this sermon, we see that from the beginning there are major cracks in the armor–specifically the weakness of David and prideful ambition of Solomon's brother Adonijah. Through this we see both the reality of the spiritual battle at hand in our world, and our need to crown the right king.

Pastor Jim introduces a new series on First Kings, exploring Israel's rejection of God as their king and the consequences of flawed leadership. Through the stories of Adonijah and Solomon, he highlights themes of brokenness, God's faithfulness, and the importance of trusting His promises. Pastor Jim challenges listeners to reflect on their choice of king—following the world's taskmasters or the true King, Jesus, who offers life and salvation.

Questions Covered: 13:30 – In the parable of the servants who were left with talents, what is the meaning (if any) behind the servant with only 1 talent failing to multiply his goods but rather burying them? It can’t follow that having less (skill or what have you) means you’re more likely to fail God? Usually we find great reversals in the parables so this has me a bit puzzled if I’m missing something? Thanks  20:49 – 1 Kings 2 is often cited as evidence for the powerful intercession of the Queen Mother in David’s kingdom.  In this scene, although Solomon rises and bows before his mother, Bathsheba–and even brings out a throne for her to sit as his right!–he doesn’t actually grant her request.  In fact, he even puts Adonijah to death!  Should this passage be considered evidence for Mary’s intercession before her Son (as the fulfillment of the Davidic Kingdom), or are we who use this passage reading too much into it?  31:23 – Thank you! Can you help me formulate the best argument that the Bible is inspired by God to an unbeliever? Thanks.  37:19 – Why do other rites (besides the Roman) have their own canon law codes?  44:07 – What makes a sacrament a sacrament? I messaged a Lutheran content creator recently (because he called Purgatory a “Catholic Lie” and the conversation widened), and the Lutheran fellow very condescendingly spoke to Catholics (as well as Eastern Orthodox) ‘finding God where He is not present’, stating that Baptism and the Eucharist are the only sacraments, with anything else from Holy Matrimony/Orders to Annointing of the Sick being meaningless gestures that distract us from God’s grace, instead of imparting it. I was mortified, and disengaged at some bad faith arguments on his part, but it still made me wonder what is it about those seven things that make them sacraments, but not other things?  50:55 – Can you explain what inerrancy means and doesn’t mean? For example, in I Chronicles it says David prepared materials for the temple and in Samuel it only says it was Solomon. It also says David prepared 100,000 talents of gold for the temple, along with a million talents of silver, bronze, iron, timber, and stone. Do these numbers have to be literally correct for inerrancy?  …

église AB Lausanne ; KJV 1 Kings (3 Kings) 1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom. And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah. And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants: But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. ...

Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | November 5, 2024 The Fountain Apostolic Church Build Your Church (2024) Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus Sermon Notes: Proverbs 22:6 It's possible to be a man after God's own heart, making heaven your home, but leave a mess behind of your family. Seek to understand the impact addiction & trauma plays on our children. Psalm 147:3 We ought to provide a safe & stable environment for our children. Proverbs 22:6 Our families need to heal through connection & communication. James 1:19 Provide resources for emotional & spiritual healing for our children. 2 Timothy 1:7 We ought to model a life of faith & hope to our children. Romans 15:13 King David's Failures in Emotional Availability as a Father Lack of Discipline and Justice with Amnon and Tamar Event: Amnon's assault on Tamar (2 Samuel 13:1-22). David's Response: Though angered, David took no disciplinary action against Amnon. Impact: Tamar was left without justice, and Absalom harbored deep resentment, ultimately killing Amnon (2 Samuel 13:23-29). Reflection: David's passivity led to unresolved pain and family division. Alienation of Absalom Event: Absalom avenges Tamar, kills Amnon, and flees (2 Samuel 13:37-39). David's Response: Though David longed for Absalom's return, he kept him at a distance for two years after his return to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 14:24, 28). Impact: This estrangement contributed to Absalom's rebellion and death (2 Samuel 15-18). Reflection: David's inability to reconcile with Absalom created a rift that ultimately led to tragic consequences. Neglect of Adonijah Event: Adonijah attempts to seize the throne without David's knowledge (1 Kings 1). David's Response: He had "never displeased him" by holding him accountable (1 Kings 1:6). Impact: This lack of guidance allowed Adonijah to feel entitled, leading to his eventual downfall. Reflection: David's failure to correct Adonijah reveals the need for active parental involvement and boundaries. Failure to Comfort and Engage with His Children Personally Observation: David was often distant and preoccupied with his role as king, limiting his emotional engagement. Impact: His children experienced instability, division, and betrayal, often lacking consistent guidance or support. Reflection: David's emotional absence led to destructive family dynamics, underscoring the need for fathers to provide both stability and emotional support. Reflection on David's Legacy as a Father Lesson: David's story demonstrates that even a strong relationship with God does not replace the need for attentive, engaged parenting. Takeaway: Spiritual leaders are called to balance both faith and family responsibilities, being present and available to nurture healthy relationships.

Before he died King David gave his son Solomon instruction on how to establish the Kingdom of God and how to set the culture. In 1 Kings 2, Solomon wisely addressed Adonijah, Abiathar, Joab and Shimei and he judiciously dealt with each of them. Because Solomon set the temperature, the kingdom was now established in his hands. Solomon was not afraid to make tough decisions so that the culture would be set in ways to honor The Lord.

Adonijah is up to some old tricks:  Adonijah tries to manipulate Solomon's mother, and it works Adonijah claims to be in love with one of David's concubines Solomon is offended when Bathsheba asks if Adonijah can marry Abishag Why Adonijah likely wasn't in love with Abishag Why God "allowed" men to have concubines and multiple wives in the OT   There are so many other things P40 does!

In 1 Kings 1, David had grown old and unfortunately the consequences of not disciplining his son Adonijah have caught up to him. Adonijah knew his brother Solomon was to be the next king, but he tried recruiting people to help him take the crown. Bathsheba and Nathan brought the news to David who was unaware of Adonijah's rebellion. David's supporting cast showed up and helped get David's mind straight. As believers we need to be ready to help others reach the finish line of life.

With King David on his death bed, the royal family knows that the time to transfer power is drawing near. David's oldest son, Adonijah, gains support for himself from well-known leaders like Joab and Abiathar, calling Judah together for a feast to celebrate his bid for kingship. Nathan the prophet catches word, and teams up with Bathsheba to alert the king. Later, the Lord appears to King Solomon in a dream, and instead of asking for wealth or long life, he asks the Lord for wisdom to lead God's people. This pleases the Lord, who promises blessing upon Solomon's reign.1 Kings 1 - 1:15 . 1 Kings 2 - 12:49 . 1 Kings 3 - 23:28 . Psalm 87 - 29:00 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to today's episode of Daily Radio Bible. In this session, our host Hunter delves into the cautionary tale of Adonijah, reflecting on how despite his name meaning "the Lord is my God," he failed to let God reign in his life. Instead, Adonijah sought to usurp his own father, King David, and crown himself as the sovereign through persuasive and deceitful means. Hunter highlights the ever-present nature of God's sovereignty and faithfulness, reminding us that even in times when divine presence feels distant, God ultimately holds supreme authority. Join us as we explore the true Kingship of Jesus, learn to surrender to His will, and align our actions with His eternal purposes. Let this episode uplift and strengthen your walk with the Lord as we pray together for ourselves and our loved ones. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, they kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL We are reading through the New Living Translation from Tyndale Publishers
