    Hi Eunice, I think you made a valid point on your post regarding Archie’s likely to have a negative perception about the Evans’.

Back then, racism was considered the norms, and it was not usual for white folks to see themselves as superior than blacks’.…

    More punishment is promised in 1 Kings chapter 14 as there is the first mention of the Israelite’s use of sacred poles since the split of the kingdom. Traditionally, these ‘sacred poles’ are understood as poles or idols used to worship false gods in general. The text in chapter 14 verses 15 and 16 says this provokes Yahweh to anger and that he will basically abandon Israel for the sins of Jeroboam. Then it flat out blames Jeroboam since he caused Israel to commit this sin collectively as a nation which relates back to the golden calves he made in chapter 12 of 1 Kings.…

This comment in the book just makes me think of how any other little kid acts. They change their mind a countless number of times in one day.
