1st KINGS cartoons -
Saul, David, Solomon, and more
It is interesting to see the list of the Kings of Israel and give them a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down according to the author of 1st and 2nd Kings. It is NOT a good report card, but they do inspire cartoons for the Bible books of Kings.
Saul 1st King, GOOD start, EVIL End - 1 Sam 8-31; David, GOOD - 1 Sam 16-31, 2 Samuel 11-12 BAD; 2 Sam 1-24, 1 Ki 1-2 GOOD ;
Ahab, EVIL (Israel) 1 Ki 17-22,
and along with Ahab are, more importantly, the stories of Elijah, and related Cartoons, including his victory via God’s Power versus the prophets of Baal.
Good Bye Jezebel!
