Things to look for as you read this week:

• God cares for all people, not just the Israelites, as evidenced by the fact that Elisha heals a foreigner from Syria. Who?
• Paul speaks of a new covenant, not like the old covenant, which was based on the written law. What is the new covenant based on?
• Athaliah governs Judah for six years. What is unusual about this particular ruler?

 

Last week's answers:

• What was contained in the Ark of the Covenant? (The two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it—I Kings 8:9)
• Why does King Jeroboam set up altars for worship in Dan and Bethel? (To keep the people from making sacrifices in Jerusalem and, thus, probably becoming disloyal to him—I Kings 12:26-30)
• Paul tells us that when Jesus rose, he appeared specifically to two individuals. Who are they? (Peter and James—I Corinthians 15:5-7)
• Who is the foreign woman married to Ahab, king of Israel? (Jezebel—I Kings 16:31)
