For those of you who are taking part in the six week class at Westwood Church called “Uncommon Faith“, here are the requirements to work through for week 5:
- Read 1 Kings 14 in your favourite translation.
- Read 1 Kings 14:6-9 in three different translations (if you want suggestions, I recommend these three for this course: NET, TNIV, ESV).
- As you read the text, answer these questions
- Do you see a structure to the text?
- Repeated words/ideas, progression of words/ideas, etc.
- Specifically, how does the Lord (through Ahijah) describe David?
- Why do you think that David was described as a “servant”?
- How is David contrasted with Jeroboam?
- Do you see a structure to the text?
