WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT The Story of Old Testament Kings By WILLIAM E. OILROY, D. Many people read the Bible, as I once tended to read it--in a rather perfunctory way, as a sort of religious duty, I grew up in a religious environment in which to read the Bible every day was a formal duty. Often, I fear, I read somewhat at random, selecting a chapter here or there (protably a short one), as a dutiful member of my church or my young folk's group. That, cer'amly, is not the way to read the B.ble, or for that matter any other book.

Nor is the Bible to be read lust like any other book. The Bible is not one book, but many. There ARE parts of the Bible that one may read at random, with much interest and profit. The Book of Proverbs, even each individual sentence, or proverb, has interest in itself. The same thing is true of many Psalms, though intelligent appreciation of Psalms is reads them much greater if one as a whole.

One then (fets a proper impression of their marvelous range of human aspirations, emotions and experiences But to read a chapter of the Book of Kings, or of Chronicles, except in relation to the history they record, is of little value. For this reason, for those who are reading in the history of the Jewish people before the Babylon- nian exile, I am attempting here a framework or analysis of that history. On the return from the bondage in Egypt, and the recovery of the homeland begun by Abraham, the people were ruled by judges, us the Book of Judges records. A most notable and efficient one was the famous woman, Deborah. The next important development was when the child Samuel, became high priest and prophet, became a sort of uncrowned king and virtual dictator.

But the people, restless under Samuel's rule, demanded a king as a military leader, like the kings of surrounding tribes. Against Samuel's strong protest and warning they made their demand effective. Saul was chosen by lot and crowned, nmid the enthusiastic plaudits of "God save the king." Then comes the emergence of David, and the wonder story of the shepherd boy and hero. But David's triumph over Goliath, and he temporary defeat of the Philistines, did not prevent the in- lorious end of King Saul, his suicide on the field of battle, and the complete overwhelming of Israel. Out of it all came the shepherd boy, David, became warrior, and the powerful king, conquering his realm and extending its bounds.

Israel now had emerged as a tion. Solomon, succeeding David, further extended and consolidated the kingdom, until "the glory of Solomon" became proverbial. But the glory of Solomon wasn' all glory. The palaces and even the temple were evidently built upon much oppression and exploitation of the people. When Reho- boam succeeded his father, there intense demand for the lessening fthese burdens.

Rehoboam, listening to young hotheads and spurning the counsel of older men, defied the mdl- contents, declaring he would make their burdens still heavier. Down in Egypt was Jeroboam -i- Radio and Television Programs; 5:00 5:15 5:30 5:45 6:00 4:15 6:30 1 6:45 1 7:00 3 7:15 7:30 7:45 8:00 i 8:15 3:30 8:45 1 10:15 10:30 10:45 11:00 5:00 KSD (NBC 350 Ke) News; SporU Martin Show News What's New; Songi News Sporta M'an on the Go Morgan Beatty One Man's Family Dinah Shore Frank Sinatra Music Hour With Garroway tt Boxing BouU Sports Highlightl News Kay News; SporU KSD (NBC Kc) News, Music Man and Moment Friday KMOX (CBS 1120 Kc) KXOK (ABC 650 Allan Jackson News; Bonner Sports Digest Lindley Hines News; Bonner Lowell Thorn News Tennessee Bill Stern Choraliers News Bob Burnes Lone Ranger Edw.

The history of Israel for the next couple of hundred years is the history of divided kingdoms Rehoboam's Kingdom of Judah, with two tribes in the South, and Jeroboam's Kingdom of Israel, with ten tribes in the North. That division must be constantly borne in nnnd.

The vehicle, built over a period of six weeks, is four feet long and 28 inches high.
