Immerse Chronicles Day 335 Year 2 Bible Reading

Day 335: David Appoints Solomon and Organizes the Levites – Immerse Bible Reading Experience

On the 335th day of the Immerse Bible Reading Experience, the script focuses on King David's final acts as he organizes Israel's leadership structure. As David grows old, he appoints his son Solomon as king over Israel and orders the counting and division of the Levites into specific roles. The tasks were supervised and divided among 24,000 for temple work, 6,000 for officials and judges, 4,000 as gatekeepers, and another 4,000 to praise the Lord with music. Detailed genealogies of the Levites and their assignments in the house of the Lord are described, spotlighting the descendants of Aaron, Moses, and the sons of Levi: Gersom, Cohath, and Merari. The segment elaborates on the roles of musicians from the clans of Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman, each chosen by sacred lots to proclaim God's messages through music. Each family and their duties were carefully documented, highlighting the meticulous planning in service to the house of the Lord.

Chronicles

Immerse: Chronicles is the sixth and final installment in Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience. Chronicles contains the remaining First Testament Books: Chronicles–Ezra–Nehemiah, Esther, and Daniel. These works were all written after the Jewish people fell under the control of foreign empires and were scattered among the nations. They remind God’s chastened people of their identity and calling to faithfully represent God to the nations and that there is still hope for the struggling dynasty of David.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
