Alright friends, today’s episode is the longest episode yet clocking in at just under 40 minutes, but it’s mainly because King Solomon gets long-winded while conducting the first worship gathering at the Lord’s temple. In fact, 1 Kings 8 is the second longest chapter in Scripture, with Psalm 119 being the longest. Though the tabernacle existed before the temple, this is the first permanent structure built for the worship of God, and as you can imagine, it’s a pretty big deal. While Solomon offers heartfelt praise to the Lord, his wives eventually turn his heart away to pursue foreign gods.
