1 Kings 8:1–30: On the Glory of YHWH Filling the House of YHWH (Ep. 118) May 29, 2024

Show notes

The biblical storyline takes a leap forward when the LORD’s glory fills the Temple. While this moment is significant, it also becomes clear that the Temple isn’t the end goal.
Listen to Alex Duke, Jim Hamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss 1 Kings 8:1–30.

1 Kings 6:2–7:51: On the Extraordinary Architecture of the Ark for the Ark (Ep. 117) May 22, 2024

Show notes

The Lord's presence has more or less been a nomad since Genesis 3. But with the temple, he's about to have a permanent address (kind of). In this episode of Bible Talk, Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about 1 Kings 6–7.

1 Kings 6:1: Yep, A Whole Episode on Just One Verse (Ep. 116) May 01, 2024

Show notes

So . . . Jim Hamilton had a wild idea: let's do a whole episode on 1 Kings 6:1. Alex Duke was dubious, even aghast. But he and Sam Emadi obliged. This conversation is the result.
In this episode of Bible Talk, they talk about burn layers and interpretive priority and Indiana Jones.

1 Kings 5: On the Bible's Memory Palace Which Prepares Us for Phase 1 of Solomon's Temple-Building Project (Ep. 115) Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

The story of the Old Testament is the story of God's people returning to God's presence. The building of the temple significantly advances that story. In 1 Kings 5, we get Phase 1 of Solomon's construction project. Alex Duke, Jim Hamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss.

1 Kings 3:16–4:34: On a List of People, a List of Stuff, and Solomon's Platinum Age (Ep. 114) Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

Solomon is wise. Solomon is wealthy. Solomon is worth listening to. This is his Platinum Age, better than anything that came with his father David. Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about 1 Kings 3:16–4:34.

1 Kings 2:12–3:15: On Solomon’s Snake-Stomping Shrewdness and Snake-Handling Stupidity (Ep. 113) Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

We all know the story about Solomon pleading with the Lord for wisdom. But do you remember how it begins? It’s surprising.
Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about 1 Kings 2:12–3:15, which highlights Solomon’s shrewdness and his sinfulness.

1 Kings 2:1–12: On David’s Deathbed Charge, Solomon’s Moses-Like Transition, and the Looming Threat of a Man-Less Throne (Ep. 112) Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

The end of 2 Samuel is odd: it portrays the king at cruising altitude and then describes his bumpy descent. What's going on here? Alex Duke chats with Jim Hamilton and Sam Emadi about the messianic finale of 2 Samuel 23–24.
