Prophet Pearls #5 -Chayei Sarah 1 Kings 1:1-31

  • Summary

  • This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is 1 Kings 1:1-31. It accompanies the Torah portion Chayei Sarah (Genesis 23:1–25:18).

    With Israel’s King David on his deathbed, the king’s eldest living son Adonijah devised an elaborate coup to wrest the kingdom from his half-brother Solomon, whom David had designated as his successor. Although the plot was foiled, it was the culmination of a series of tragic events in David’s family, brought on by his adultery with Bathsheba and the indirect murder of her husband to cover up his sin. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
