Reading for August 15th

 Read 1 Kings 9.10-14. In 9.10-28: Other activities of Solomon.  In verses 10-14: Solomon seems to be in financial difficulties and is forced to sell land though his bargaining appears shrewd. Cabul (v.13) is explained as meaning "as nothing." This is a popular etymology or even an etiology (a story or report that explains something's origin). The real meaning of the name is unknown. The talent was a measure of weight . Its amount varied, but it could be as much as 130 pounds. Comments or Questions..
