1 Chronicles opens with nine chapters of genealogy before it even gets to a story, then retells David’s reign with most of the embarrassing parts politely removed. It’s basically the highlight reel version of a story we’d already covered in more honest detail. We made it through all 29 chapters, family trees included.
You’ll also see 6 episodes marked Dig Deeper below. The show’s format is an unstudied first read, reactions and all, so those episodes are where the hosts go back into a book or chapters they already covered to chase down their own questions and pick up what they missed the first time through. They’re not listener Q&A, just the hosts grading their own homework.
