About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

2 Chronicles 1:1-17 God Gives King Solomon Wisdom & Knowledge to Judge His People

 

God Gives King Solomon Wisdom & Knowledge to Judge His People

2 Chronicles 1:1-17                       2 Chronicles in [Smaller Chunks]

Solomon, [king] [David’s] son, was strengthened in his kingdom, & the Lord his God was with him, & magnified him exceedingly. Then, Solomon [spoke] to all [of] Israel, to the: captains of 1,000’s, & [captains of] 100’s, & the judges, & to every governor, [a.k.a. official,] in all [of] Israel, the chief, [a.k.a. leaders,] of the [forefathers'] [families.]

So, Solomon, & all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, [that] Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the wilderness.

But the Ark of God, David had brought up from Kirjath Jearim, [a.k.a. Kiriath Jearim,] to the place [that] David had prepared for it; [since king David] had pitched a tent for it [in] Jerusalem. 

[Also, king David] put before the tabernacle of the Lord, the [brass] altar, that Bezaleel, [Uri’s] son, [who was] [Hur’s] son, had made. And Solomon & the congregation sought [the Lord God, at] it.

And Solomon went up [there] to the [brass] altar before the Lord, [that] was at the tabernacle of the congregation, & offered 1,000 burnt offerings, [a.k.a. sacrifices,] upon it. That night, God [appeared] to Solomon, & said to him, Ask what I shall give you. 

And Solomon said to God, You [have demonstrated] great mercy to David, my father, & [have] made me [rule] in his [place.] Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David, my father, be established. For You [have] made me king over a multitude [of] people, like the dust of the earth [in number.] 

Now, give me wisdom & knowledge, [so] that I may go out, & come in before this people. For who can judge Your people, [who are so many?] And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, & you [haven’t] asked [for:] riches, wealth, [honor,] nor the life of your enemies, & neither [have] you asked [for] long life. 

But [you] [have] asked [for] wisdom & knowledge for yourself, [so] that you [may] judge My people, over whom I have made you king. Wisdom & knowledge [are] granted to you; & I will give you: riches, wealth, & [honor,] such as none of the kings before you have had. Neither shall there [be] any after you, [who] have the [same.]

From [being] [in front of] the tabernacle of the congregation, Solomon then [went] to Jerusalem, from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, and [Solomon] [ruled] over Israel. 

And Solomon gathered 1,400 chariots, & 12,000 horsemen, which [king Solomon] placed in the chariot cities, & with the king [in] Jerusalem. And king [Solomon] made silver & gold as [plentiful] as [the] stones [in] Jerusalem.

And [king Solomon] made cedar trees as [abundant] in the [valley] as [the] sycamore trees. And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, & linen yarn: [so] the king’s merchants received the linen yarn [for] a price.

They [purchased,] & brought up [from] Egypt a chariot for 600 shekels of silver, & a horse for 150 [shekels.] So, they brought out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, & for the kings of Syria, [as they could afford.]
