Old Testament

Book of Ezra

Summarised in 1 Minute

Key Verses

Ezra 1:3 - So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness.

Ezra 7:10 - On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

Summary

The book of Ezra continues on from 2 Chronicles by showing how God fulfils His promise to return His people to the land of promise after seventy years of exile. Israel’s “second exodus”, this one from Babylon, is less impressive than the return from Egypt because only a remnant chooses to leave Babylon.

Old Testament

Book of 1 Kings

Summarised in 1 Minute

Key Verses

1 Kings 9:4 - 5 -”As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances; then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.’

1 Kings 11:11 -Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

Summary

The first half of 1 Kings tells about Israel under Solomon. Under his leadership, Israel rises to the peak of her size and glory, including the building of the temple. Solomon soon gains a divided heart following his pagan wives, which leads to Israel being divided. The second part goes on to tell about the 2 sets of kings and nations of disobedient people, rebelling against God’s prophets and His laws.
