Alex Trebek: So, tell me a bit about yourself.
Contestant: Well, I'm a big fan of the Bible, and I'd like to tell you about some of the highlights from 1 Kings 5.
Alex Trebek (sighing): Really? The Bible? Okay, go ahead.
Contestant: Sure! In this chapter, Solomon makes a treaty with King Hiram of Tyre, who agrees to provide Solomon with materials for building the temple. In exchange, Solomon gives Hiram food, oil, and other supplies. Solomon also conscripts the Israelite people to work on the temple, and gathers a large number of workers from around the region.
Alex Trebek (trying to sound upbeat): That's fascinating, but enough about the Bible. Let's talk about something else.
Contestant: Of course! We also see Solomon starting to build his own palace and fortifying the cities of Jerusalem and Megiddo.
Alex Trebek (frustrated): Ugh, why does this keep happening? Tell me something else.
Contestant: Well, this chapter also deals with Solomon's wisdom in settling disputes and his generosity towards others. He gives King Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee and also gives the queen of Sheba many gifts when she visits him.
Alex Trebek (sighing): Alright, I guess that's all for 1 Kings 5. Let's move on.
