Solomon's harem
And there were the women. King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, unfortunately succumbed to the allure of foreign women. Despite divine warnings against marrying multiple wives, he married an astounding 700, along with 300 concubines. These unions were politically motivated, aimed at forging alliances and establishing bonds with neighboring nations. However, these marriages ultimately led Solomon to idolatry, as his wives introduced foreign gods and rituals into his kingdom. This deviation from worshiping God alone, as Jewish law required, displeased the Lord, who eventually punished Solomon for his sins.Solomon beautifies Jerusalem
Jerusalem became the pride and joy of Solomon's reign. He had big plans for the capital city. He went all out and built this beautiful temple for the Almighty himself. Picture this: gold decorations, exquisite furnishings, and amazing artwork everywhere you looked. People were absolutely dazzled by it and came from far and wide just to see it. Jerusalem became the talk of the region.WHERE TO FIND MORE BIBLE MAPS

Jesus leaves Galilee
Jesus leaves Galilee
Jesus leaves Galilee
Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “You’d better get out of here if you want to live. Herod wants to kill you.” [Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee. He was one of the sons of Herod the Great.]Jesus leaves the fox behind
Jesus told them, “Go give that fox a message for me. ‘Look, I’m exorcising demons and curing sick people. I’m doing it today. I’ll be doing it tomorrow. I’ll be finished with my work on day three.’ It’s true, I have to continue my trip today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I don’t have a choice because it wouldn’t do for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem.Jesus leaves for the city that kills prophets
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem. City that kills the prophets. City that stones to death messengers sent by God. So many times I have wanted to gather your children around me like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings of protection. But you didn’t want that. Your Jerusalem home will become a home for no one. I’m telling you this, the next time you see me you’ll be saying, ‘He comes with God’s approval and on God’s behalf’” (Luke 13:31-35).Preaching his way to Jerusalem
Jesus headed south toward the Crucifixion, which he seemed to know was coming. Along the way, he continued healing people and teaching them. It was on this trip that he told some of his most stories and parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son famous as the Prodigal Son.For more about Jesus, try to get your hands on The Jesus of the Bible, by Stephen M.
