About this Plan
![1 Kings Explained Part 1 | Everybody Wants to Rule](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimageproxy.youversionapi.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fyvplans%2F32107%2F1280x720.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
“Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” When God offered Solomon anything he could desire, he asked not for riches or power but wisdom. We may not all be kings, but we all have our own kingdom to rule, and Solomon’s reign provides powerful lessons on how to (and how not to) rule rightly. Join Through the Word for clear explanation and application through 1st Kings 1-11.
