💧 1 Kings 7

1 Kings 7 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.” 1 Kings 7 opens with these words: “Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.” The line to keep is 1 Kings 7:1: “Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.” Carry the word “solomon” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Kings 7:1: “Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Kings 7? Then try this: Read “Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
