2 Chronicles 27 New King James Version (NKJV) 2 Chronicles 27 Jotham Reigns in Judah 1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah[a] the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly. 3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place. .

2 Chronicles
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE 2 Chronicles BOB UTLEY PROFESSOR OF HERMENEUTICS (BIBLE INTERPRETATION) STUDY GUIDE COMMENTARY SERIES OLD TESTAMENT VOL. 7B BIBLE LESSONS INTERNATIONAL MARSHALL, TEXAS 2017 INTRODUCTION TO 1 AND 2 CHRONICLES I. NAME OF THE BOOK A. The name of the book in Hebrew is “the words (events) of the days (years).” This is used in the sense of “a chronicle of the years.” These same words occur in the title of several books mentioned as written sources in 1 Kings 14:19,29; 15:7,23,31; 16:5,14,20,27; 22:46. The phrase itself is used over thirty times in 1 and 2 Kings and is usually translated “chronicles.” B. The LXX entitled it “the things omitted (concerning the Kings of Judah).” This implies that Chronicles is to Samuel and Kings what the Gospel of John is to the Synoptic Gospels. See How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, pp. 127-148. As the Gospel writers under inspiration (see Special Topic: Inspiration) had the right to select, adapt, and arrange the life of Jesus (not invent actions or words), so too, the inspired authors of OT narratives (see Expository Hermeneutics: An Introduction, by Elliott E. Johnson, p. 169). This selection, adaptation, and chronological/thematic arrangement of words/events was to convey theological truth. History is used as a servant of theology. Chronicles has suffered, much as the Gospel of Mark did. They were both seen as “Readers Digest” summaries and not “a full history.” This is unfortunate! Both have an inspired message.

HAGGAI in the CONTEXT of IMMANUEL, “God with Us” Pray As You
HAGGAI in the CONTEXT of IMMANUEL, “God With Us” WOW, Spring 2021 LEADER’S GUIDE AND ADDED INFO FOR HELP IN GUIDING SMALL GROUP/PARTICIPANT WORK WEEK #3 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 6:3 ...”Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Pray as you begin your study at home or in your small group (over the phone or other “virtual” gathering with a few or even just one WOW sister during these weird days Covid). HELPFUL HINT for LEADER: This week’s passages is a study in contrasts between King Uzziah and the prophet Isaiah. A contrast between the king of Judah who, like his father and grandfather before him, started off well, served God’s people well and then failed near the end of their lives and Isaiah who was surprised by God’s calling in the middle of a pretentious, a wealthy and self-righteous kingdom who outlasts kings and enemies and finishes well in God’s eye. Keep this contrast in mind and help your small group focus on these two men juxtaposed before God and help accountable for their faith and work. IDEA for an “ice-breaker” to begin the study while some may still be trickling in is to ask the group, to think about a time they felt “overwhelmed” in a service of worship with both a sense of unworthiness in the presence of God’s love and, at the same time, a sense of joy for the Savior and salvation. As them to recall, if possible, the Scripture or singing or......what that led you to this unexpected experience.

2 Chronicles 1
The Second Book Of The Chronicles The Argument This second book containeth briefly in effect that, which is comprehended in the two books of the Kings: that is, from the reign of Solomon to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the carrying away of the people captive into Babylon. In this story are certain things declared and set forth more copiously than in the books of the Kings, and therefore serve greatly to the understanding of the Prophets. But three things are here chiefly to be considered. First, that the godly kings, when they saw the plagues of God prepared against their country for sin, had recourse to the Lord, and by earnest prayer were heard, and the plagues removed. The second, how it is a thing that greatly offendeth God, how the good rulers ever loved the Prophets of God, and were very zealous to set forth his religion throughout all their dominions, and contrariwise, the wicked hated his ministers, deposed them, and for the true religion and word of God, set up idolatry, and served God according to the fantasy of men. Thus have we hitherto the chief acts from the beginning of the world to the building again of Jerusalem, which was the two and thirtieth year of Darius, and contain in the whole, three thousand, five hundred, threescore and eighteen years, and six months. 2 Chronicles 1......................................................................................................................... 3 2 Chronicles 2........................................................................................................................

Old Testament History Lesson #21 2 Kings 14:23-18:8
Old Testament History Lesson #21 2 Kings 14:23-18:8 Outline I. The Late Divided Kingdom (2 Kings 8:16-17:41) A. Jeroboam II of Israel (14:23-29). B. Azariah of Judah (15:1-7). C. Zechariah of Israel (15:8-12). D. Shallum of Israel (15:13-16). E. Menahem of Israel (15:17-22). F. Pekahiah of Israel (15:23-26). G. Pekah of Israel (15:27-31). H. Jotham of Judah (15:32-38). I. Ahaz of Judah (16:1-20). J. Hoshea of Israel (17:1-6). K. The fall of Samaria to Assyria (17:7-41). II. The Final Kings Of Judah (2 Kings 18:1-24:20) A. Hezekiah (18:1-20:21). 1. Hezekiah’s reforms (18:1-8). Notes 2 Kings 14:23-29 • The chapter closes with a brief notice of the 41 year reign of Jeroboam II. The era of Jeroboam and Azariah would mark a significant change in the fortunes of God’s people. These would be days of unparalleled prosperity for the two kingdoms, both economically and politically. Indeed, together they would acquire nearly the same territorial areas as in the days of the united monarchy. • The reign of Jeroboam II was the longest of any Israelite king. Jeroboam’s external accomplishments were many. In accordance with an unrecorded prophecy of Jonah, Jeroboam fully restored the borders of Israel so that they extended from the entrance of Hamath (located in the great Beqa Valley amid the Lebanese Mountains south of Hamath) to the Sea of Arabah (or Dead Sea).

Lineage of the King Lesson 12-1
Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehoram, Jehoram was the father [ancestor] of Uzziah, Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham was the father of Ahaz Matthew 1:8–9 Lesson 12 FIRST DAY: Review and Overview 1. What was the greatest lesson you received from the life of King Jehoshaphat? 2. Simply being in the bloodline of faith does not make you a child of faith. John the Baptist warned the people of Israel against this false assumption. Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Those who desire to be in the lineage of faith must make a personal and conscious decision to believe in and follow Jesus Christ. Matthew purposely excludes the descendants of King Jehoram to the fourth generation. Most scholars believe this is due to the fact that Jehoram married the wicked Athaliah, daughter of the idolatrous King Ahab of Israel. Because Ahaziah, Jehoash, and King Amaziah chose the idolatry of King Ahab rather than to acknowledge the God of Israel, their names were not reckoned in the genealogy of faith. Matthew moved directly from Jehoram to Uzziah, who after four wicked kings, chose to do what was right in the sight of the LORD. He co-reigned for a time with his son Jotham. Jotham was followed by Ahaz who made a fateful choice to turn away from God. Every person must be diligent to make his/her call and election sure in Jesus (2 Peter 1:10).

2 Chronicles 1
Read 2 Chronicles 1 In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you." 2 Chron 1:7 Have you ever wondered what you would ask for if you had three wishes? From the first time I heard about genies in lamps, I’ve wondered this question. I usually thought I’d wish to be taller, richer, or maybe famous. Honestly, most people would probably ask for some different variations of my requests. But what would you really ask for? Have you ever thought about it? Solomon had many options to choose from, and he choose wisdom. Ultimately, most of the things that we might choose would be temporary and fleeting. Riches can be squandered. We shrink with age. Fame is fleeting. If I could ask something, I would ask that the Holy Spirit would never allow me to miss an opportunity to share the gospel. There are few feelings worse than knowing you missed the chance to emphasize eternity with a person. Solomon was blessed because he didn’t waste such a special gift from the Lord. He asked for something that would last him his entire life and allow him to serve God in a greater way. How would you have answered God? When you pray, do you find yourself praying more for issues that will improve your walk with Him, or simply the various issues of the day? There is nothing wrong with praying for the little things, but don’t miss out on the big things in your life like patience, faith, and gospel obedience.
