2 Chron. 36 Zedekiah was clearly given over to pride. He would not listen to God’s prophets and he rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar after having sworn his allegiance by God. So he wasn’t simply rebelling ...

2 Chron. 35 I wonder what possessed Josiah to get involved in somebody else’s fight. The king of Egypt was not attacking him. He was not even attacking a nation that Josiah should have been ...

2 Chron. 31-32 Wow – even righteous King Hezekiah succumbed to pride in the end. God miraculously extended his life, and he spent the gift he was given foolishly and selfishly. 2 Chronicles 32:31 says, ...

2 Chron. 29-30 I mentioned yesterday that king Jotham lived something of a Godly life, but did not seem to have much of a Godly influence on those around him. Not so with King Hezekiah, ...

2 Chron. 23 “But in the seventh year Jehoiada took courage….” (2 Chron 23:1a). I’d say that Jehoiada took courage six years prior, when he chose to hide Joash in the house of God. It ...
