Episode notes

Forgiveness is not sanctioning, but it is seeing that this person's sin has been taken on by Christ if they're a believer. For Bathsheba and all of this, she is the bruised reed. She's the smoldering wick. And in God's provision, she's the one then who is raised up and her son Solomon is then made to be king over everything.

Though the Israelites recalled the monarchy as their “glory days,” even their most noteworthy kings were messy, complicated, and oftentimes disappointing in their actions. So why do we need their stories? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland wrestle with the challenges and significance of the first three monarchs in Israel’s history: Saul, David, and Solomon.
