Lesson 6 – 1 Kings 22 Text: 1 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 18-20 Main
Lesson 6 – 1 Kings 22 Text: 1 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 18-20 Main Characters: God, Ahab, Jehoshaphat, Michaiah Key Passages: - 2 Chronicles 19:2 – God rebuked Jehoshaphat for allying himself with such a wicked king. - 2 Chronicles 20:15 – God reminded Judah not to be afraid; the battle belonged to Him. Main Storyline: Three years following Ahab’s truce with Ben-Hadad (Syria), Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, came to visit Ahab (recall their alliance from 2 Chronicles 18:1). Ahab remarked that, though Ramoth- Gilead belonged to Israel, they had allowed Syria to hold it. He asked Jehoshaphat to help him to take the city back from Syria. Jehoshaphat asked that the Lord be consulted before they enter into battle. Ahab called about 400 prophets of Baal who agreed that Ahab should attack Ramoth-Gilead. Despite all of this “reassurance,” Jehoshaphat asked that a prophet of the Lord be consulted. Ahab lamented that there was one prophet of God still in the land, Michaiah, but that he hated him, since he always prophesies that bad things will happen to him. Jehoshaphat insisted that he be brought. The messenger who went to get Michaiah told him that all the other prophets had given encouragement to the king. He asked Michaiah to prophesy similarly. Michaiah told him that he would speak as God instructed him. When Michaiah came, at first he simply gave the same advice that the other prophets had. However, Ahab realized Michaiah was not telling the truth, and insisted that he do so. Michaiah then told everyone that Ahab would die in the battle. -

“He Looks for Those Who Trust Him, Part 1” (2 Chronicles 16:1-9) I
“He Looks for Those Who Trust Him, Part 1” (2 Chronicles 16:1-9) I. Introduction. A. Let’s consider the context of our passage: The Lord had blessed the Southern Kingdom (Judah) with revival – Things had been spiritually dark For quite a while by this time: Towards the end of his life, Solomon had turned from the Lord And fallen into idolatry – Because of the influence of his many wives, Which he married mainly for political reasons – He had set up shrines to their gods, And even began worshiping them himself – The Lord tells us not to be unequally yoked – If we are believers, We are not to marry unbelievers: Because of the struggles we’ll have, Because we’ll be tempted To compromise for the sake of peace – Solomon’s life stands as a warning to the truth of this – His son Rehoboam didn’t do any better: He had the chance to repair Some of the damage his father had done When his people came asking for relief, 2 But he refused to listen to the advice of the elders – He listened to his peers instead: The result was, the kingdom was split – The Lord tells us to listen to wisdom – To His word And those who bring us counsel from His Word – Not to those who only tell us what we want to hear – If we want to be wise, That’s what we need to do. His son, Abijam/Abijah, followed his example: We read in 1 Kings 15:3-5, “He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David. -
2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's Solemn Offering at Gibeon, 2Ch 1:1-6
2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's solemn offering at Gibeon, 2Ch_1:1-6. His choice of wisdom is blessed by God, 2Ch_1:7-12. His strength and wealth, 1Ch_1:13-17. Was strengthened, or established , after his seditious brother Adonijah and his partisans were suppressed; and he was received with the universal consent and joy of his princes and people. 2 Chronicles 1:2 Then Solomon spake, to wit, concerning his intention of going to Gibeon, and that they should attend him thither, as the next verse shows. 2 Chronicles 1:3 To the high place; upon which the tabernacle was placed; whence it is called the great high place , 1Ki_3:4. 2 Chronicles 1:4 He separated the ark from the tabernacle, and brought it to Jerusalem, because there he intended to build a far more noble and lasting habitation for it. 2 Chronicles 1:5 He put; either Moses, mentioned 2Ch_1:3, or Bezaleel, here last named, by the command and direction of Moses; or David, who may be said to put it there, because he continued it there, and did not remove it, as he did the ark from the tabernacle. Sought unto it, i.e. sought the Lord and his favour by hearty prayers and sacrifices in the place which God had appointed for that work, Lev_17:3,4. 2 Chronicles 1:6 i.e. Which altar. But that he had now said, 2Ch_1:5, and therefore would not unnecessarily repeat it. Or rather, who ; and so these words are emphatical, and contain a reason why Solomon went thither, because the Lord was there graciously present to hear prayers and receive sacrifices. -
2 Chronicles 25-28 Good Evening Church, I Am Glad You Could Make It out Tonight
Page 1 of 29 2 Chronicles 25-28 Good evening church, I am glad you could make it out tonight. Hello to those of you watching online. Tonight we are going to continue in our study through the Old Testament, we will be in 2 Chronicles Chapter 25 and we will attempt to get through Chapter 28 tonight. We have much going on in our world, and for me, it is a joy to gather here with you all to come under God’s Word. This place is the only place that makes sense, and His Word is the only True Comfort in this World. So let’s pray, and we will get into our text tonight. Well, we finished last time by looking at the assassination of King Joash of Judah, and we will pick up right after his death… Look now at chapter 25… Amaziah Reigns in Judah(2 Kings 14:1-6) 25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart. Now Amaziah was a reformer just like Joash his father. Page 2 of 29 But we see here at the end of verse two, he fell short of complete reform. He did not live up to the standard that King David had set as the template, and he continued to allow the high places to exist as we saw in 2 Kings Chapter 14. -
“Amaziah: the Wholly Half-Hearted King” Who’S the Boss? – a Series on the Kings 2 Chronicles 25
Matt Kruse Newton Bible Church 1-5-14 AM Service “Amaziah: The Wholly Half-Hearted King” Who’s the Boss? – A series on the Kings 2 Chronicles 25 Introduction: Take your Bibles and turn to 2 Chronicles 25, 2 Chronicles chapter 25. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to attend your funeral? What would others say about you? I know this is a terribly morbid question to ask right after the joy of the Christmas season, but really, have you ever wondered what your funeral would be like? There were three men who got into that very conversation one day. One of them said to the group – what do you want people to say at your funeral? The first guy waxed eloquent about how he hopes his kids remember him as the best father a child could have. The second guy said that he hopes people remember him as generous and loving and easy to get along with. To which the third guy said, I hope at my funeral that someone says – “Look, He’s moving!” Some of you will get that on the way home today. As we look out over a year that is gone and a new one that is beginning this is a very fitting question to ask – what do you want your obituary to say? One of the tremendous benefits of the calendar being flipped from one year to the next is that it gives us a natural pause in which we should consider the course of our life over the last 12 months. -

Through the Bible Study 2 Chronicles 18-22
THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY 2 CHRONICLES 18-22 The children’s series VeggieTales has sold over 52 million DVD and VHS copies. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber teach biblical values to kids. The series became so popular it was sold to NBC and added to its Saturday morning kids programming. But it didn’t take long for NBC editors to go to work. Non-historical references to God and the Bible were sliced - even Bob and Larry’s trademark ending - “Remember kids, God made you special, and loves you very much…” - is gone. The vitamins were cooked out of VeggieTales. The series’ creator, Phil Vischer confessed, had he known how much the shows would change he wouldn’t have signed on to the network deal. Vischer sums it up this way, “VeggieTales is religious – NBC is not.” It’s a classic case of what the Bible calls being “unequally yoked.” 2 Corinthians 6:14 says it best, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” This is a farming analogy… Different species of animals, with diverse natures, harnessed together will struggle to cooperate. They’ll pull in opposite directions. And when a Christian becomes entangled with a non- Christian in a legally binding relationship some kind of compromise is the inevitable outcome. !1 It happens when a believer and an unbeliever go into business. It happens when a believer and an unbeliever get married. It happens when NBC and VeggieTales partner together. And it happened when Jehoshaphat joined forces with Israel. 2 Chronicles 18, “Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he allied himself with Ahab.” Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, married the daughter of his northern rival, King Ahab. -
2 Chronicles Chapter 26
2 Chronicles Chapter 26 Verses 1-23: The reign of Uzziah, a.k.a. Azariah (ca. 790 – 739 B.C.; compare (2 Kings 14:21- 22; 15:1-7); Hosea (Hosea 1:1), Amos (Amos 1:1), Jonah, and Isaiah (Isa. Chapter 6), ministered during his reign. Much like his father, “Amaziah” (chapter 25), and his grandfather, Joash (chapter 24), “Uzziah” began well; he was blessed with “fame” and became exceedingly “strong”. Yet the blessing seems to have caused his “heart” to be “lifted up”, in pride, making him think that he could act in the role of a priest and approach God directly (Lev. 17:3-7). 2 Chronicles 26:1 "Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah." “Uzziah” is named Azariah (in 2 Kings 14:21; 15:1-7). "Which was sixteen years old": Yet as he began to reign in the twenty seventh year of Jeroboam (2 Kings 15:1). And Jeroboam began to reign in the fifteenth year of Amaziah (2 Kings 14:23). He could be but four years of age, for the solution of which (see 2 Kings 15:1). "And made him king in the room of his father Amaziah": Which was after his death, and not when he fled to Lachish, as Kimchi thinks. The last lesson ended with the death of Amaziah. The name "Uzziah" means strength of Jehovah. Uzziah was spoken of as Azariah as well. He was very young when he became king at the death of his father. -

2 Kings 8 & 2 Chronicles 21 | Reaping the Harvest of Sin Eliphaz Said
Men’s Study & Coffee | March 6, 2018 | 2 Kings, Week Eight (*notes from “Be Distinct” by Warren Wiersbe) 2 Kings 8 & 2 Chronicles 21 | Reaping the Harvest of Sin Eliphaz said some foolish things to his suffering friend Job, but he also stated some eternal principles, one of them being, “Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8). Solomon repeated this truth in Proverbs 22:8, “He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow”, and the prophet Hosea put it graphically when he said, “They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind”. Jeroboam, Omri, and Ahab had led the northern kingdom of Israel into idolatry, and Jehoram, who married a daughter of Ahab, had introduced Baal worship into the kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were rebellious against the Lord and polluted by idolatry, but now the day of judgment had arrived for Ahab’s dynasty, the day that the Prophet Elijah had predicted (1 Kings 21:21, 29). 1. The greatness of God. (2 Kings 8:1–6) This event likely took place before the healing of Naaman (2 Kings 5), since the king wasn’t likely to welcome a leper into the palace, and Gehazi was a leper (5:27). The author of 2 Kings doesn’t claim to follow a strict chronology, and we’re not even sure which king Gehazi was entertaining with stories about his master. Perhaps this event occurred early in the reign of King Joram. This account reminds us of the greatness of the Lord. -
Athaliah, a Treacherous Queen: a Careful Analysis of Her Story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21
Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 Robin Gallaher Branch School of Biblical Sciences & Bible Languages Potchefstroom Campus North-West University POTCHEFSTROOM E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 This article presents a critical look at the story of the reign of Athaliah, the only ruling queen of Israel or Judah in the biblical text. Double reference in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles shows her story’s importance and significance to the biblical writers. The largely parallel accounts read like a contemporary soap opera, for they contain murder, intrigue, harem politics, religious upheaval, and coup and counter-coup. Her story provides insights on the turbulent political climate of the ninth century BC. However, the purpose of the biblical writers is not to show Athaliah as the epitome of evil or that all women in power are evil. Opsomming Atalia, ’n verraderlike koningin: ’n noukeurige analise van haar verhaal in 2 Konings 11 en 2 Kronieke 22:10-23:21 In hierdie artikel word die verhaal van Atalia krities nagegaan. Atalia was naamlik die enigste koninging van Israel of Juda wie se regeringstyd in die Bybelteks verhaal word. Die dubbele verwysings na hierdie tyd in 2 Konings en 2 Kronieke dui op die belangrikheid en betekenis van haar verhaal vir die Bybel- skrywers. Die twee weergawes wat grotendeels parallelle weer- gawes is, lees byna soos ’n hedendaagse sepie, want hierdie verhale sluit elemente in soos moord, intrige, harempolitiek, godsdiensopstand, staatsgreep en kontrastaatsgreep.
