4h ago21:13

21:13

The propaganda machine continues apace. In this episode, one of Judah's most virtuous kings, Hezekiah, reinstates the religious calendar and celebrates Passover.

If nothing else, the account of the Kings of Judah who rule after David and Solomon shows a fascinating range of personalities, from psychopath to narcissist to saint, and pretty much everything in between. Given that rule one in Judah's monarchy, and in daily life for every Jew is to put God first, an amazing number of the nation's kings fail to d…

Episode 96: Jezebel's Daughter 21:49

21:49

To see the Books of Chronicles as a rehash of the Books of Samuel and Kings is to do them a disservice. It's actually the same events seen through a different lens, and these events are some of the most thrilling in the Bible - epic battles, assassinations, heroic act of rescue and grisly deaths from disease. But there are also unique events which …

After eulogising about King David for an entire book, the Chronicler now turns his attention to David's son, Solomon and Solomon's son, Rehoboam. The elephant in the room that is the almost complete collapse of Israel that happens on Rehoboam's watch is fabulously airbrushed out.

I'll be honest, the Books of Chronicles are no one's go-to place for encouragement and spiritual succour. Mostly a repetition of the Books of Samuel and Kings, there is little new material and a lot of pro monarchist propaganda. However, there are unique passages and in this one, David lays out his vision for Jerusalem's first temple and encourages…

Not many books have the audacity to stop in the middle of the action, go back and retell exactly the same thing, but the Bible is no ordinary book.
