1 Kings 7:1

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Five of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'David’s Decline, Solomon’s Reign, 1023 BC–980 BC'.

May – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. May centers on King David’s final years, Solomon’s rise, and a deep immersion into the Psalms and Proverbs. You’ll move between Israel’s history and its songs, prayers, and wisdom, seeing how worship, leadership, and daily life intertwine. This month reveals a God who listens, instructs, and gives wisdom, showing how faith is lived out in both triumph and reflection as His story continues to unfold.
