1 Kings 9:13
Thai Bible (TNCV) 2007 - New Contemporary Version (พระคริสตธรรมคัมภีร์ไทย ฉบับอมตธรรมร่วมสมัย)
ข้อนี้หมายความว่าอะไร?
In this verse, the king of Israel, Solomon, is speaking to King Hiram of Tyre. Solomon questions the value of the cities he received in exchange for a large amount of gold, and he names the land 'Cabul', which could imply dissatisfaction with the trade.
อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก
Imagine you traded your favorite toy for a bunch of rocks. You might say, 'What are these rocks? This isn't what I expected!' That's kind of like what Solomon did here—he felt he got the short end of the stick in a trade.

Think of a time when you felt disappointed by a deal or exchange. Perhaps you bought a used car and found out later it was in poor condition. Solomon's story reminds us to carefully assess the value of what we're given and to communicate our expectations clearly.
