Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 20: Ahab Defeats the Syrians. This chapter is baffling. There's another lion attack out of nowhere, more chariots and horses get stomped, some trickery from God that literally makes no sense, and a "certain prophet" who remains unnamed so he actually wasn't very certain after all. We relate. We, too, are uncertain. Support this podcast at — ht...

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 19: Elijah Flees to Horeb / The Lord Speaks to Elijah / The Call of Elisha. Jezebel scares the pants off Elijah, who taps out and gets replaced by Elisha, which isn't confusing at all. In a plot twist no one saw coming, more animals are slaughtered. And somebody gets a magic cloak! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bib...

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 18: Elijah Returns to Ahab / The Contest on Mount Carmel / Elijah Prays for Rain. A prophet-murdering crowd, led by a pole-dancing jezebel, Set Fire to the Rain, and Sonic the HedgeFlash pulls the White Witch's sleigh. Or something. Oh and there are dead bulls, blood, and magic.

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 17: Elijah Predicts Drought / Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath. You guys, we have our first resurrection! And it's basically pointless! For reals, this is an oddly told story, about an odd incident, oddly placed out of context of the Books of Kings. But resurrection tho!

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 16: The Reign of Baasha (cont.) / The Reigns of Elah and Zimri / The Reign of Omri / The Reign of Ahab. So many kings, so little time, each worse than the last. We get a call-back to Asherah Poles, and there's even some Baal up in here! These people are a mess.

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 15: The Reign of Abijam / The Reign of Asa / Asa's League with Ben-hadad / The Reign of Nadab / The Reign of Baasha. This chapter is just a list of ruler after ruler, and we def need a flow chart cuz it's impossible to recall all the names. Kings gonna king, ya know?

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 14: Ahijah's Prophecy against Jeroboam / The Reign of Rehoboam. Bad kings are bad, so God kills a kid and makes life worse for slaves, because that makes total sense. Ashirah poles return to the conversation, and shrine prostitutes enter the chat.

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 12: Israel's Revolt / Jeroboam Leads Israel into Sin. Solomon's son threatens to beat people with scorpions, which, let's face it, is a simultaneously hilarious AND horrifying flex. And yikes, we did not anticipate a return to Golden Calves, but here we are. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-ath...

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 10: The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon / Solomon's Riches and Fame / Solomon's Trade in Horses and Chariots. The queen supposedly asks some hard questions, but we're pretty sure she just wanted to know Solomon's shoe size, and permission to jump into his hot tub. Very disappointing. Also, we remain convinced that Solomon wrote this entire book...

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 9: The LORD's Covenant with Solomon / Solomon's Further Activities. We got slaves up in here, ladies and gentlemen! And gold, so much mf gold.

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 7: Solomon's Other Buildings / Solomon Employs Huram of Tyre / The Furnishings for the Temple. Everything that isn't gold is bronze. We gots lots of pomegranates and gourds and wreaths for a giant heated pool called The Sea. We'd rather watch Beverly Hills Cop.

Husband and Wife cover 1 Kings chapter 6: Solomon Builds the House of the LORD. It's not as bad as when the Ark was being built, but that's not saying much. Lots of measurements, lots of gold, and Bill Murray, plus the Solid Gold Dancers. Come see us September 3rd at the Kentucky Freethought Convention in Louisville!
