2 Chronicles 32-33

32:6-8- Hezekiah leads his people well, giving them courage and resolve. 32:17- Sennacherib has a grammar mix-up that costs him his life. He equates other countries’ gods with Israel’s God. They are not the same. God doesn’t like it when you confuse Him with them. 32:30- When I visited Israel, I was able to seeContinue reading “2 Chronicles 32-33”

2 Chronicles 29-31

It’s quite simple: I want to be like Hezekiah. I hope you do too.

2 Chronicles 26-28

One thing is typical, one thing is not. As for the former, I list the things I found noteworthy in the text, but as for the latter, I follow each note with some questions. I would love to hear some interaction: 26:5- As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. Do youContinue reading “2 Chronicles 26-28”

2 Chronicles 23-25

Jehoiada, the priest, takes care of the crazy grandma, Athaliah. Joash becomes king at age seven. Age seven, a king, can you imagine?

2 Chronicles 20-22

2 Chronicles 17-19

17:6 Jehoshaphat was courageous in the ways of the Lord. 17:9 The Levites have the law of the Lord, which is the only thing worth teaching. 18:13 Speaking of Micaiah, you have to respect a man like that. He will only tell you what the Lord tells you. 18:23 Sometimes you’ll be punished for speakingContinue reading “2 Chronicles 17-19”

2 Chronicles 14-16

These three chapters are an anomaly to me, as is the main character, Asa. Here’s the story: 14:2- Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord. 14:9-15- He wins a fight, in which his army of 500K beats the 1Mil strong Ethiopian army. How does he pull it off? HeContinue reading “2 Chronicles 14-16”
