Sidon in 1 Kings 16
SY-dun
This place shows up in 1 Kings 16:31: “As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Kings 16:31
“As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sidon in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Kings 16:31 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
