1 Samuel
Exciting stories of Samuel, Saul and David fill the pages of
1 Samuel. Read how they struggled with themselves, with each other, and with
God, and how they transformed Israel from a group of tribes governed by judges
to a nation by a King.
2 Samuel
David is remembered as Israel’s most powerful King and as a
human being who made some terrible mistakes. Read about his struggles and see
how one man’s relationship with God affects the face of the nation he rules.
1 Kings
Israel experienced its “golden age” of peace and prosperity
under King Solomon. But even Israel’s wisest King wasn’t perfect. Read 1 Kings
to see what happened to the peace Israel enjoyed because of Solomon’s
disobedience to the Lord.
2 Kings
The book continues the story of those who ruled Israel and
Judah. Read 2 Kings to find out which rulers were faithful to God and which
were not. And read about a real hero, Elisha the prophet.
1 Chronicles
Important stories are worth repeating. Although the story of
David is told in 1 and 2 Samuel, the author of 1 Chronicles offers another
viewpoint on the life of Israel’s greatest King.
2 Chronicles
Remembering a golden age from the past can give people
strength and hope even when they are living in exile. Read 2 Chronicles and see
how God’s chosen people were encouraged by recalling their faithful leaders
from the past.
Ezra
Going home can be an exciting time. As you read Ezra, look
for the different experiences God’s people had when they returned with
Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah.
