The One Year Bible - Day 187

Today is my birthday and we have a raft of family information to trawl through. We can easily pass these passages by and assume there is little useful information for us but we can still pray that God teach us something from these passages. For instance, why was it that Solomon succeeded David as king even though he was not even close to being the eldest? Who were all these other sons of David? What did they do? How were they treated by David and by others? Was it possible to be a stranger to your father because he had so many children?
