What does proverbs 9 verse 10 mean?
Proverbs 12:10: "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel".
Answer 1
A man that follows God will treat his animals with care. Making sure they have feed and shelter if possible, and will not abuse them. But a wicked man even when he is at his best will mistreat his animals. He has no regard for them.
Answer 2
The way a man treats his animals and inferiors is considered the worst or darkest aspect of his character. An underling or beast has no ability to seek recourse for mistreatment and therefore receives the brunt of its master's aggression. Conversely, we would expect the tender mercies of someone to be that person when they are attempting to be the best version possible of themselves. Therefore, a righteous person at his worst is of a superior quality to the wicked person at his best.
This is disputed between different groups of Christians.
The basic principle of the commandment is that you should not worship idols. Many religions at the time the Bible was written (and today) have as their gods as idols or statues. They keep them in temples, put clothes on them, leave them food, and so on.
Because God is infinite, he cannot be depicted. He is not one God among many idols: he is God alone.
The Catholic Church maintains that it is alright to create a sculpture of a religious figure, so long as you do not worship it as a god. The commandment ends with "and worship them", so it's not talking about making statutes, it's talking about making statues for the purposes of worship.
Other Christians believe that the commandment means that you are forbidden from making any religious statues, even if you do not worship them. Similarly for Jews, who will not draw or depict God in any way.

What is the chronology of 1 and 2 Samuel 1 and 2 Kings and 1 and 2 Chronicles?
The Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings form an integrated block of text covering the period from the conquest of Canaan through to the end of the kingdom of Judah and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile, known as the "Deuteronomic history". It thus seeks to cover the history and legend of Israel from around 1440 BCE to the middle of the sixth century BCE. Scholars call the author of this history the Deuteronomist or 'D' source, because they also see this as the principal source of the Book of Deuteronomy. This group of books was written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, 641-609 BCE.
The Books of Chronicles provide another history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It attempts to resolve some of the inconsistencies found in the Deuteronomic history and introduces new theological concepts by placing them in a pre-Exilic context. The principal author is now referred to as the Chronicler, but it was actually written as a composite work some time after the Return from the Babylonian Exile. 1 and 2 Chronicles were probably written during the sixth century BCE.
1 Samuel - from the birth of Samuel to the death of Saul (1105-1011BC).
2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles - the reign of King David (1011- 971BC).
1 Kings - beginning of Solomon's reign, the division of the kingdoms in 931 BC through to Ahaziah's reign in 851BC.
2 Kings - 853 BC - 560BC from Ahaziah to the capture of the tribe of Judah by the Babylonians.
2 Chronicles - from Solomon's reign to the exile and parallels the chronology of the books of Kings.

What does the Bible say about tithes and offerings?
The bible teaches that God owns everything, and man owes Him the first 10% of any increase.
OLD TESTAMENT
There were other tithes as well:-
(1) That one tenth of the whole produce of the soil was to be assigned for the maintenance of the Levites (ie the priests).
(2) That a second tithe was to be used for the use of the temple and festival purposes.
(3) That in every third year, another tithe was to be used for the welfare of the poor, homeless, widows, etc
(These tithes took the place of our modern taxes, and welfare payments.)
NEW TESTAMENT
The Old Testament law of tithes is not binding on Christians , but the principle remained:-
1Co 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
1Co 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
Christians ought to willingly go beyond the old testament tithing laws if they can in deep gratitude due to Christ's sacrifice and what He has done and is doing both now and in the future for all eternity for us in consecrating both themselves and their substance to God.
But Christians are not to give if it causes hardship:-
1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
