1 Kings

The names of the Old Testament books don't always give a good clue as to what they're about. For example, the two books of Samuel are mostly about David. Similarly, the Kings are as much about prophets as they are about kings. In fact, after Solomon is gone, the two characters who dominate these books are Elijah and Elisha. Yet they are called the books of the Kings.

In this video conversation, Pastor John R. Pflug Jr. and I talk about the first book of the Kings. What is 1 Kings about? Who are the dominant characters? What is God doing? Where is Jesus? The first video is a little short of fifteen minutes long and the second about eight more.
