Mark in 1 Kings 20
MARK
This person shows up in 1 Kings 20:22: “The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Kings 20:22
“The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.””
What kids can learn
When you hear mark in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this person in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Kings 20:22 again tomorrow and ask what the person is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
