Grade 1 Scripture Study Week 17 | Student Textbook
King James Version study. Days 81 to 85.
The KJV writes LORD for Yahuah, God for Elohim, Jesus for Yahusha, and Holy Ghost for Ruach HaQodesh (the Set-Apart Spirit). Scripture quotations remain exactly as printed in the KJV.
Listen to the KJV passage read aloud. Read the short explanation and study the different-verse worked example before starting your practice.
Day 81: 1 Kings 2:12
Read aloud: 1 Kings 2:12 (KJV).
Solomon becomes king after David. The verse tells us that Solomon sits on David’s throne and that his kingdom is established. We can find a person’s name and an event in a short historical account.
Worked example, 1 Kings 2:10 (KJV): “So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.”
Sample question: Where was David buried? Find the words: “city of David.” Worked answer: In the city of David. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 82: 1 Kings 3:5
Read aloud: 1 Kings 3:5 (KJV).
Solomon is now king. In a dream Yahuah speaks to him and asks what he wants to receive. Solomon has to think about his great responsibility. The story invites us to listen to his answer in the next passage.
Worked example, 1 Kings 3:6 (KJV): “And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.”
Sample question: Who does Solomon say walked before Yahuah in truth? Find the words: “David my father.” Worked answer: David his father. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 83: 1 Kings 3:9
Read aloud: 1 Kings 3:9 (KJV).
Solomon is young and ruling a large people. He asks for an understanding heart. He wants to hear and judge people fairly. The words show that wisdom is needed to lead, not merely riches or strength.
Worked example, 1 Kings 3:8 (KJV): “And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.”
Sample question: How does Solomon describe the people he must lead? Find the words: “a great people.” Worked answer: A great people that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 84: 1 Kings 3:10
Read aloud: 1 Kings 3:10 (KJV).
Solomon has asked for understanding. The account says that his request pleases Yahuah. Solomon receives an answer. The story shows why a wise request can matter more than asking only for things for oneself.
Worked example, 1 Kings 3:12 (KJV): “Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.”
Sample question: What does Yahuah say he has given Solomon? Find the words: “wise and an understanding heart.” Worked answer: A wise and understanding heart. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 85: 1 Kings 3:28
Read aloud: 1 Kings 3:28 (KJV).
Two women bring a difficult problem to Solomon. He listens and makes a judgment. The people hear what happened and understand that wisdom was at work. We focus on the lesson about listening and judging fairly, not on reenacting the dangerous parts.
Worked example, 1 Kings 3:23 (KJV): “Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.”
Sample question: What does the king do before giving his decision? Find the words: “The one saith.” Worked answer: He restates what each woman has said. The printed words show how to find this answer.
