Batman: Robin, it appears we have our work cut out for us this chapter.

Robin: What’s that, Batman?

Batman: 1 Chronicles 14 tells of how King David moved his household to Jerusalem, and how the Philistines were defeated in battle.

Catwoman: Oh, how lovely. Do go on.

Batman: King David idolized the Lord and wanted to build a temple for Him. However, it was God’s will that his son, Solomon, build the temple.

Robin: So, what did King David do in the meantime?

Batman: He established order and security in the land by defeating the Philistines and the Moabites. Then, King Hiram of Tyre supplied David with cedar and other building materials to construct a palace for himself.

Penguin: What a boring chapter. I think I’ll go rob a bank instead.

Batman: I think not, Penguin. This is an important chapter that sets the stage for the rest of the Bible. So, I suggest you stay and learn something.
