One of us is navigating through First Kings in a chronological two-year Bible reading plan, while the other is on a three-year journey through the Bible. We share our observations about the reigns of various kings, their decisions, and the consequences that followed.

We delve into the patterns we’ve noticed in their actions, particularly the cyclical nature of their decisions and the impact on their nations. We discuss the intriguing phenomenon of kings repeating the mistakes of their predecessors, seemingly oblivious to the patterns of prosperity and suffering that correlate with their actions.

We also touch upon the concept of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ kings, highlighting that power does not necessarily equate to righteousness. We share our thoughts on the lessons we can learn from these historical figures and how they apply to our lives today.
