Solomon's house and the foreign altars

THE BIBLE  ·  c. 970–930 BC  ·  Near-East

Home › Timeline › The Line Held Through Hell › Solomon's house and the foreign altars

Solomon builds the house, then trades access to it. Foreign wives, foreign altars, on the high places east of Jerusalem.

Geometry, The ground: A reading: the top holds while you face it, and only your own turn leaves it. The king who received the most turned, and drifted.

In plain words

Solomon builds the Temple, then takes foreign wives and builds altars to their gods on the hill east of Jerusalem. It is the first full capture: the keeper of the word treating it as an asset to use, not a trust to keep.

The mechanism

CAPTURE, FIRST FULL INSTANCE — the one who holds the Word decides it is an asset to be leveraged rather than a trust to be kept. The temple burns in 586 not because the enemy was strong but because the custodian already sold the door

Scripture

1 Kings 11
