1 Kings 8 1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

(Feast of Tabernacles) September - October

Mount Zion (City of David) The most ancient part of Jerusalem on its southeast corner representing the city occupied by the Jebusites and conquered by David. … The entire area occupied no more than ten acres. This part of Jerusalem dates back at least to about 2500 B.C.

Nearly 500 years before Abraham

5

David moved the ark of the covenant into the city of David and built houses in the city, including a place for the ark. David was buried there, establishing the burial place for all kings of Judah.

Solomon lived there until he built his own palace and the Temple outside the traditional city of David. At that time he moved the Ark of the Covenant from the city of David to the new Temple and moved his wife to the new palace.

Holman Bible Dictionary

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. 4 And they brought up the Ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

Solomon finished the Temple, his palace, his Egyptian wife’s palace, and had a feast.

7

5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 6 And the priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD unto His place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

8

7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. …

9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a Covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. Exodus 20

BKC There had been other items (the pot of manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded) inside the

Ark, but only the Ten Commandments remained.

10

Exodus 20 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

“before Me” means both “In My Presence”

And “In opposition to Me.”

A god is anything in which we put our trust.

11

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;

No neutrality;

We love Him or we hate Him.

12

7 Thou shalt not take the Name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.

This certainly includes cursing with God’s Name,

But it also includes calling ourselves the children of God without sincerity.

The Name Christian claims the Name of our Lord, so to call ourselves Christian without sincerity

is to take the Name of God in vain.

13

8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

This is the only Commandment not brought into the New Testament.

We have set aside Sunday as the “Lord’s Day” and the day that we come together to worship.

14

12 Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Honor = extreme respect, and as children – obedience.

When we are adults and our parents are old, we are to honor them with help, visiting, whatever they need.

15

13 Thou shalt not kill (murder). (Number 6)

1 Corinthians 6 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commits fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Number 7)

16

15 Thou shalt not steal.

Anything!

Not wages Not money Not time

Earn the things you need or want.

17

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

No lying!

When God listed the things He hates, lying made the list twice.

Proverbs 6

18

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

Be happy for your neighbor’s blessings; never be envious.

If we love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and our neighbor as our self, we will readily keep all of these

Commandments.
