hammer in 1 Kings 6
HAM-er
This thing shows up in 1 Kings 6:7: “The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
1 Kings 6:7
“The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hammer in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Kings 6:7 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
