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”

Jehoiada, the priest, takes care of the crazy grandma, Athaliah. Joash becomes king at age seven. Age seven, a king, can you imagine? Now, I’m sure he wasn’t making the big decisions at that age, but still, the fact that he held the title at such a young age is remarkable. And for the mostContinue reading “2 Chronicles 23-25”

The previous day’s reading and today’s readings startled me. Why? Because I’ve read through the Bible a few times before and never do I remember Jehoshaphat being such a good king. He was though. And here’s the proof: When he’s afraid, he seeks the Lord (20:3) He proclaims a nationwide fast to seek the LordContinue reading “2 Chronicles 20-22”

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.

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”

11 God warns/counsels the people, “No civil war.” Rehoboam is all over the place. He’s bad for awhile, good for a few years, then back to being evil. Ultimately, he ends up being deemed a bad king. 12 Egypt plunders Jerusalem. It’s the people’s first taste of slavery to the Egyptians since the Exodus. ItContinue reading “2 Chronicles 11-13”

Chapter 7 ends with a couple “if…then” promises. They are big promises too. Unfortunately, Israel goes the wrong way, as we know from the rest of Scripture. But, lest we digress any further, let’s follow the Chronicler thru 8&9 (aka Solomon’s accomplishments). He built entire cities just for storage of horses, chariots, food, etc. Cities.Continue reading “2 Chronicles 8-10”
