Day Nine. Kings, Kings and more Kings.

Today I encountered King Solomon.  At first glance he seems like a wise old chap, but by the end he's off worshiping false gods.

It's getting a bit repettitive.  God leads these folk out of Egypt, shows miracle after miracle, and says in no uncertain terms that bad things will happen if you worship false gods, and they still go off and do wrong things.  Israel, would you just get a grip on yourself!  Do you want God to put it in thousand foot high burning letters above Jerusalem?  "THERE IS NO OTHER GOD THAN ME!!!"  Would they get the message?

Probably not.

Tomorrow it's the remainder of 2 Kings.
