June 11, Day 162

Today's Reading

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles. As I read about the bargain between Solomon and Hiram, I realized that we were getting a glimpse into ancient international negotiations. It's also interesting to note that Huram-abi, the craftsman assigned to oversee the work would, in modern times be living a life of mixed race (ancient Tyre was part of modern Lebanon) and most likely be rejected by those on both sides.

I love seeing things I hadn't really noticed before! They stood on their feet and faced out toward the main room of the Temple. (2 Chronicles 3:13 NLT) This reminded me of the way secret service personnel surround the president and face outward from him. There's nothing new...
