Week 19 Tutorial: Wise King Solomon Builds the Temple (1 Kings 5–9; 2 Chron 2–8; Psa x7; Prov 15–24)

Week 19 Readings of our 2025 Chronological Bible-in-a-Year Reading Challenge have us witnessing the construction of the long-awaited Jerusalem Temple under the wise guidance of King Solomon.

In this tutorial, Chad begins by providing us an overview of the Book of Proverbs, describing it as an anthology of 'Wisdom's Greatest Hits', a collection of wise sayings and poetry brought together by Solomon for, primarily, his sons after him.

He then moves on to the narrative highlights this week regarding the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem, noting some its parallels to Moses' Tabernacle in the wilderness.

To assist in visualising the Temple of Solomon, consider watching the following animated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt6lQAe8ues
