About this series
The genre of Proverbs is mainly "Proverbs" as the name describes, there are also some Parables and Poetry. This book was written mainly by Solomon, the wisest king ever to rule, however some of the later sections are written by Lemuel and Agur. It was written during Solomon's reign 970-930 B.C. He asked God for wisdom to rule God's nation and He granted the request.
The main purpose of this book is to teach wisdom to God's people. Proverbs are short clever explanations, which are easy to remember. They contain truisms. These are things which are typically true however, not always. For example, "He who tills his land will have plenty of bread" (12:11), it is typically true that one who works his land will have bread but it is not a guarantee to always be true. They deal with life, principles, good judgment, and perception. They often draw distinctions between a wise man and a foolish man with parable type examples.
• In chapters 1-9, Solomon writes about wisdom for younger people. He speaks of details of Godly living and heeding a parent's advice, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" (1:7). Salvation is through faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone and Proverbs directly teaches us to, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight" (3:5-6).
• In chapters 10-24, there is wisdom that applies to average people covering various topics. Many of these parables contrast a righteous man and a wicked man, and urges us to commit our way to God, "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (14:12).
• Chapters 25-31, give wisdom to leaders. It was these very proverbs that were transcribed by King Hezekiah's people, and for good reason (25:1). They contain many warnings and instructions to assist in walking and seeking a Godly life. As would be understood by a leader of an army, Solomon writes in 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

- Leviticus: Old Testament
3
Throughout Leviticus, Israel remains encamped at Mount Sinai while God appears in the Tent of Meeting, dictating to Moses his specifications regarding the Jewish ceremonial laws. The laws are extremely detailed, outlining every aspect of how and when religious offerings are to be presented to God. God gives the instructions himself, and his voice comprises the majority of the text. A brief narrative interlude describes the anointing of Aaron and his sons as Israel’s priests. At the ceremony, God appears and engulfs the altar in a burst of flames, eliciting shouts of joy from the people. Soon after, God also sends fire to consume two of Aaron’s sons when they neglect to make the right preparations for approaching the altar.
- 1 Kings: Old Testament
11
The first book of Kings recounts the lives of the kings of Israel and Judea over a period of 400 years after the death of King David. His son, Solomon, features heavily in these chapters, first to show God's generous blessings to a faithful king and, later, as an example of the consequences of turning away from God. This book also details the split of the northern and southern tribes of Israel and the subsequent appointment of the prophet Elijah to bring hope to the true followers of God and vengeance on those who had renounced Him
- The Audio Bible - 2 Kings: Old Testament
12
The second book of Kings depicts Israel as a land divided, being ruled by wicked kings who lead the Israelite people only further into idolatry and sin. Throughout this period, the prophets, notably Elijah and Elisha, bring hope for repentance and reformation by performing astounding miracles and spreading the word of God. Their efforts to lead the Israelites from their stubborn and disobedient path are chronicled in 2 Kings and, once again, God shows how He rewards obedience with blessings but rebellion with tragic consequences.
- Psalms with Music: Old Testament
19
The Book of Psalms, often referred to simply as Psalms, is a collection of 150 poems, prayers, hymns, and meditations found in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. It serves as the primary liturgical and spiritual resource for Jews and Christians alike, offering expressions of praise, worship, lament, gratitude, and supplication. The Psalms are traditionally attributed to several authors, including King David, Solomon, Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Moses, among others, though modern scholarship suggests a complex process of compilation and authorship spanning several centuries. The Psalms are divided into five books, each concluding with a doxology, reflecting perhaps an imitation of the five books of the Torah. This structure highlights the Psalms' role as a guide for prayer and reflection on the Law. The content of the Psalms is incredibly diverse, encapsulating the full range of human emotions from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstatic joy. This diversity makes the Psalms uniquely relatable to individuals across different times and circumstances. Key themes and types of Psalms include: 1. **Praise and Worship**: Many Psalms (e.g., Psalm 100, 150) are purely doxological, focusing on the greatness, goodness, and sovereignty of God. They invite the community and all creation to praise God for His mighty works and steadfast love. 2. **Lament**: These Psalms (e.g., Psalm 22, 42) express sorrow, confusion, and longing for God's intervention in times of distress, personal suffering, or national disaster. They often include a cry for help, a confession of trust, and a vow to praise God for His future deliverance. 3. **Thanksgiving**: Psalms of thanksgiving (e.g., Psalm 30, 107) are expressions of gratitude for God's deliverance from trouble or danger. They recount the distress experienced, celebrate the deliverance granted, and praise God for His mercies. 4. **Wisdom and Instruction**: Some Psalms (e.g., Psalm 1, 119) reflect on the value of God's law and wisdom, offering instruction on living a life that is pleasing to God. They contrast the paths of the righteous and the wicked and highlight the blessings of obedience to God's commands. 5. **Royal Psalms**: These (e.g., Psalm 2, 110) focus on the king as God's anointed representative, celebrating his coronation, praying for his success, or prophesying his future reign. Some are also interpreted as messianic, foreshadowing the reign of an ideal king from David's line, whom Christians identify as Jesus Christ. The Psalms have been central to Jewish and Christian liturgical and individual prayer life for millennia, providing words for expressing faith, hope, love, and grief. Their poetic beauty and depth of emotion not only offer comfort and guidance to believers but also have had a profound influence on Western literature, music, and art. The Book of Psalms remains a timeless testament to the human experience of the divine, capturing the universal quest for meaning, redemption, and intimacy with God.
