 Proverbs Chapter 1 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: http://www.kjvbiblestudies.net Email: [email protected] Introduction: Proverbs Chapter 1 commences by introducing the purpose of the book: to know wisdom. Solomon also urges his son to learn wisdom and flee from sinners. In this first chapter, wisdom is personified and speaks as if it were a person. A little background of the book of Proverbs is timely to discuss. As noted in the first verse, was penned for the most part by Solomon. The final two chapters were written by Agur and King Lemmuel. The book is a collection of divine wisdom. In fact, wisdom is the major theme of the book and applies to every aspect of life. Chapters 1-7 are addressed to Solomon’s son. Chapters 8 and 9 present the blessings of wisdom. Chapters 10-19 reflect on the folly of sin and its consequences. Chapters 20-29 provide further warning and instruction. Chapter 30 are proverbs of Agur. Chapter 31 are proverbs of King Lemmuel.
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel. There is no question upon whom God’s Spirit moved to so pen the inspired words of this blessed book. Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made a record of these proverbs under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit during the first part of his reign. It should be recalled that it was during the first portion of Solomon’s reign when he walked close to God. He was a godly, wise man. As time passed, Solomon began to disregard God’s commandments and he drifted far from God. See I Kings 11:1-10. 1Ki 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 1Ki 11:2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 1Ki 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 1Ki 11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 1Ki 11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 1Ki 11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. Being king of Israel, much was required of Solomon. His distance from God had a negative impact on himself as well as his kingdom. Distance from God hinders fellowship with God and will have a negative impact upon us. It also has negative effects on all that God has given us.(a spouse, children, a home, a church). Solomon wrote as having godly wisdom, which He did. Knowing godly wisdom and exercising godly wisdom are as far apart as the east is from the west. Continue Reading in PDF:

 Exodus Chapter 26 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: In last week's lesson, we studied about the table of shewbread discussing both the dimensions of the table and how the bread was made and its contents. We finished with a study about the Golden Candlestick. This week we get into the construction of the tabernacle. I. The Curtains for a Covering Exo 26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. Exo 26:2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure. Inside the tabernacle was a beautiful linen curtain. Only those inside of the tabernacle could see this curtain. They had come by the way of the brazen altar, which is a type of the cross. Only those who are in Christ can see the beauty and glory that is invisible to the lost. Eph. 3:8, 10, and 16 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ... To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God... That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Col. 2:3, In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Psa. 96:6, Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. These curtains were very beautiful to look upon, and the spotless beauty points to the holiness of Jesus Christ. The priests were dressed in this same kind of material Continue Reading in PDF:
 Exodus Chapter 22 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: In last week's lesson, we studied about the moral law and began our first study on the application of the Ten Commandments. We continue on that theme this week as we study about Judgments in regards to property. I. Judgments in Regard to Property Exo 22:1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. Exo 22:2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. We begin chapter 22 concerning judgments in regards to theft. There was to be restitution for selling or killing an ox or a sheep. It took more boldness to steal an ox, so the penalty was greater. It says if you stole an ox, you had to pay back five. If you stole a sheep, you paid back four. If a thief was hurt or killed in his plight to steal, there was to be NO BLOOD shed for him. Continue reading in PDF:
 Exodus Chapter 20 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: In last week's lesson, we studied about how God made a covenant with the Jews. In this covenant, if they would obey the commandments of God, Israel would be His peculiar treasure. We study this week about the laws given to the children of Israel. The laws which God gave unto Israel may be divided into three classes (1) The moral law is to be found in the ten commandments. (2) The ceremonial law is found in the instructions of God concerning the sacrifices and related items. (3) The civil law had to do with the various regulations concerning their government. I. Ten Commandments Given Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. The first two verses might be called the preamble to the ten commandments. Here God relates how He brought them out of the bondage in the land of Egypt. Note the first four commandments show the relationship God established between God and man, while the last six are about our relationship man to man. All of these commandments make man responsible to God. The first commandment established that no other gods are allowed. God is jealous a jealous God and will not share His glory with another.
