2 Chronicles 9:13-14, 22-24

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Five of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'David’s Decline, Solomon’s Reign, 1023 BC–980 BC'.

May – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. May centers on King David’s final years, Solomon’s rise, and a deep immersion into the Psalms and Proverbs. You’ll move between Israel’s history and its songs, prayers, and wisdom, seeing how worship, leadership, and daily life intertwine. This month reveals a God who listens, instructs, and gives wisdom, showing how faith is lived out in both triumph and reflection as His story continues to unfold.
