  • 2 Kings Chapter 14
    2 Kings Chapter 14 Verses 14:1 – 15:38: This section quickly surveys the kings and selected events of the northern and southern kingdoms from 796 to 735 B.C. in contrast to the previous 19 chapters (1 Kings 17:1 – 2 Kings 13:25), which narrated 90 years of history (885-796 B.C.). With a concentration on the ministries of Elijah and Elisha during the final 65 years of that period (860-796 B.C.), 62 years are covered in these two chapters. The previous section concluded with a shadow of hope. Officially sanctioned Baal worship had been eradicated in both Israel (10:18-28), and Judah (11:17-18); the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem had been repaired (12:9-15); and the Syrian threat to Israel had been overcome (13:25). However, this section emphasizes that the fundamental problems remained. The false religion established by Jeroboam I continued in Israel even with the change of royal families (14:24-15:9, 18, 24, 28). And the high places were not removed in Judah even though there were only good kings there during those years (14:4; 15:4, 35). 2 Kings 14:1 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah." “Second year”: 796 B.C. “Amaziah”: (See notes on 2 Chron. 25:1-28). In chapter 12 verse 21, we read of Amaziah reigning in Judah in the place of his father Joash, who had died. The Joash of Israel and the Joash of Judah reigned at the same time for a short period of time.

Without much thought to the repercussions, they advise Rehoboam “Tell these people, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” When the people came back three days later that’s what he told them—he listened to advice from ‘fools.’ As a result he lost nearly everything he’d inherited from his father.

  • HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS in the SOLOMON NARRATIVE of 1 KINGS 1–11 John A
    HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS IN THE SOLOMON NARRATIVE OF 1 KINGS 1–11 John A. Davies Summary The narrative in 1 Kings 1–11 makes use of the literary device of sevenfold lists of items and sevenfold recurrences of Hebrew words and phrases. These heptadic patterns may contribute to the cohesion and sense of completeness of both the constituent pericopes and the narrative as a whole, enhancing the readerly experience. They may also serve to reinforce the creational symbolism of the Solomon narrative and in particular that of the description of the temple and its dedication. 1. Introduction One of the features of Hebrew narrative that deserves closer attention is the use (consciously or subconsciously) of numeric patterning at various levels. In narratives, there is, for example, frequently a threefold sequence, the so-called ‘Rule of Three’1 (Samuel’s three divine calls: 1 Samuel 3:8; three pourings of water into Elijah’s altar trench: 1 Kings 18:34; three successive companies of troops sent to Elijah: 2 Kings 1:13), or tens (ten divine speech acts in Genesis 1; ten generations from Adam to Noah, and from Noah to Abram; ten toledot [‘family accounts’] in Genesis). One of the numbers long recognised as holding a particular fascination for the biblical writers (and in this they were not alone in the ancient world) is the number seven.

  • Lesson 97 – Covenant Renewed 2 Kings 23:1-37
    P a g e | 1 Third Presbyterian Church Tuesday Bible Study Old Testament Tour – 2 Kings 23 Lesson 97 – Covenant Renewed 2 Kings 23:1-37 (NIV) 1 Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 2 He went up to the temple of the LORD with the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets--all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD. 3 The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD--to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. 4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests next in rank and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal and Asherah and all the starry hosts. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and took the ashes to Bethel. 5 He did away with the pagan priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem--those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. 6 He took the Asherah pole from the temple of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem and burned it there.

  • “Ahab” 1 Kings 16:29-19:21 Pastor Bob Singer 09/25/2016
    Fact Sheet for “Ahab” 1 Kings 16:29-19:21 Pastor Bob Singer 09/25/2016 ESV 16:29 ¶ In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him. 31 And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 He erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. 33 And Ahab made an Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. Then we come to a verse that almost seems out of place, but God was following up on an important detail. 34 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun. Almost 550 years earlier at Jericho Joshua gave this prophecy (Joshua 6:26). 17:1 ¶ Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." This would result in a sever famine in Israel.

  • 2 Kings 9:1-28 Elisha & Jehu
    2 Kings 9:1-28 Elisha & Jehu: Different Callings Proposition: Faithfulness can look very different according to the Lord’s calling Introduction Bob Dylan Reflects on Calling – Mikal Gilmore The September 2012 issue of Rolling Stone contained a lengthy interview with Bob Dylan. The interviewer noted to Dylan, "You've described what you do not as a career but as a calling." Dylan responded with wisdom and a warning: Everybody has a calling, don't they? Some have a high calling, some have a low calling. Everybody is called, but few are chosen. There is a lot of distraction for people, so you might not even find the real you. A lot of people don't. — Quoted from Denis Hack, "Discovering Your Calling … Slowly," Critique (2012 Issue 6); original source: Mikal Gilmore, "Bob Dylan: The Rolling Stone Interview," Rolling Stone (9- 27-12) There is a real truth in Bob Dylan’s words about calling Each of us is called by God for various assignments Some are called to do earth shaking things Many are called to do ordinary mundane things Whether great or small we should be faithful to follow the Lord’s calling The result is, faithfulness can look very different according to the Lord’s calling Elisha has Jehu Anointed King of Israel (An anonymous faithful servant) Clear instructions (vv. 1-3) 1 Now Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, "Gird up your loins, and take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramoth-gilead.
