1. We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
  2. The son of Solomon is not the Son of David.
  3. A lot of riches, a lot of wives, but no place to take your sin.
  4. Becoming a parable and a byword.
  5. The tabernacle, the temple and Jesus.
  6. A house for God. A neighborhood for Solomon.
  7. The temple and a lot of men and oil.
