Second Chronicles chapter 21. Then Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. Then his son Jehoram became the next king Jehoram his brothers were as Araya Jihyo Zechariah as Araya, Michael and shefa. Taya. They were the sons of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Jehoshaphat gave his sons many gifts of silver, gold and precious things. He also gave them strong fortresses in Judah. But Jehoshaphat gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the oldest son Jehoram took over his father's kingdom and made himself strong. Then he used a sword to kill all his brothers. He also killed some of the leaders of Israel. Jehoram was 32 years old when he began to rule. He ruled eight years in Jerusalem. He lived the same way the kings of Israel left, he lived the same way Ahab's family lived. This was because Jehoram married Ahab's daughter, and Jehoram did evil in the Lord’s site. But the Lord would not destroy David's family because of the agreement he made with David. He had promised to keep a lamp burning for David and his children forever. In Jehoram time, Edom broke away from other Judas authority. The people of Edom chose their own king. So Jehoram went to eat him with all his commanders and chariots, the Edomite army surrounded Jehoram and his chariot commanders, the Jehoram fought his way out at night. Since that time, and until now the country of Edom has been rebellious against Judah. The people from the town of Libnah, also turned against Jehoram. This happened because Jehoram left the Lord God. He is the God Jehoram 's ancestors followed. Jehoram also built high places on the hills in Judah. He caused the people of Jerusalem to start worshipping other gods, he led the people of Judah away from their God. Jehoram received this message from Elijah the prophet. This is what the Lord the God your Father, David followed, says, Jehoram you have not lived the way your father Jehoshaphat lived. You have not lived the way King ASA of Judah lived, but you have lived the way the kings of Israel lived. You have caused the people of Judah and Jerusalem to stop doing what God wants. This is what they have in his family did. They were unfaithful to God, you have killed your brothers and they were better than you. So now the Lord will soon punish your people with terrible suffering. He will punish your children, your wives and all your property. You will have a painful sickness in your intestines that will get worse and worse. Your intestines will finally come out. The Lord caused the Philistines and the Arabs living near the Ethiopians to be angry with Jehoram they attacked Judah and carried away all the riches in the king's palace. They also took Jehoram sons and wives only Jehoram his youngest son, a Messiah was left. After this happened, the Lord made Jehoram sick with a disease in his intestines that could not be cured. His intestines fell out two years later because of his sickness. He died in very bad pain, that people did not make a large fire to honor Jehoram as they did for his father. Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king. He ruled eight years in Jerusalem. No one was sad when he died. The people bury Jehoram in the city of David, but not in the graves where the kings are buried.

Second Chronicles chapter 22. The people of Jerusalem chose a Messiah to be the new king in Jehoram xplace a Messiah was Jehoram, his youngest son, the people who came with the Arabs to attack Joe whoredoms camp killed all of your horns older sons. So as I began to rule in Judah, he was 22 years old when he began to rue. He ruled one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Atha Leia. Her father's name was Omri. Hosea also lived the way Ahab's family lived because his mother encouraged him to do wrong things. A Messiah did evil in the Lord’s site. That is what Ahab's family did. Ahab's family gave advice to a messiah after a messiah his father died They gave a Uzziah bad advice that led to his death. As I have followed the advice of Ahab's family and joined King Joram to fight against King hazy Oh from era, they fought near the town of Weymouth and Gilead. Joram, who was the son of King Ahab of Israel was wounded in the battle. He went back to the town of jazz real to heal from the wounds he suffered at Rhema. King Hosea went there later to visit him. God caused his eyes death when he went to visit Joram. A Uzziah arrived and went out with Joram to meet G Hughes son of NIMH shy the Lord chose je who to destroy Ahab's family. G he was punishing Ahab's family. He found the leaders of Judah a day his eyes relatives who served a Uzziah he killed the leaders of Judah and his eyes relative. Then g who looked for a Uzziah G whose men caught him when he tried to hide in the town of Samaria. They brought him to G hue, they killed his eye and buried him. They said, a messiah is the descendant of Jehoshaphat Jehoshaphat followed the Lord with all his heart. His eyes family had no power to hold the kingdom of Judah together. Ethel Leia was a as eyes mother, when she saw that her son was dead. She killed all the king's children in Judah, but Yehoshua took his eyes son Joash and hit him. Joshua put Joe ash and his nurse in the inside bedroom. Joshua was king Jehoram his daughter, she was also Jehovah and his wife. Jehovah was a priest and Yehoshua was a his eyes sister hatherleigh did not kill Joash because Jehovah hid him. Joash was hidden with the priests in God's temple for six years. During that time, Ethel Leia ruled over the land is queen.

Second Chronicles chapter 23. In the seventh year Jehoiada made a bold move, he made a pact with the officers of the units of hundreds as Araya Sena Jehoram, Ishmael son of Ji Ho Hainan Azariah, son of Obed, may Asiya, son of a dire and delicious fat SON OF A cry. They traveled throughout Judah and assembled the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the Israelite family members. They came to Jerusalem and the whole assembly made a covenant with a king in the temple of God. Jehovah has said to them, the king's son will rule just as the Lord promised David's descendants. This is what you must do. 1/3 of you priests and Levites, who are on duty during the Sabbath will guard the doors. Another third of you will be stationed at the Royal Palace and still another third at the foundation gate. All the others will stand in the courtyards of the Lord's temple. No one must enter the Lord's temple except the priests and Levites who are on duty. They may enter because they are ceremonially pure. All the others should carry out their assigned service to the Lord and the Levites must surround the king. Each of you must hold his weapon in his hand. Whoever tries to enter the temple must be killed. You must accompany the king wherever he goes. The Levites and all the men of Judah did justice Jehoiada the priest ordered each of them took his men, those who are on duty during the Sabbath, and those who were off duty on the Sabbath Jehoiada the priest did not release his divisions from their duties. Jehoiada the priest gave to the officers of the units of hundreds King David's spears and shields that were kept in God's temple. He placed the men at their posts, each holding his weapon in his hand. They lined up from the south side of the temple to the north side and stood near the altar in the temple surrounding the king. Jehovah and his sons led out the king's son and placed on him the crown and the Royal insignia. They proclaimed him king and poured olive oil on his head. They declared Long live the king. When athel Leia heard the Royal Guard shouting and praising the king she joined the crowd at the Lord's temple. Then she saw the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and the trumpeters stood beside the king and all the people of the land were celebrating and blowing trumpets, and the musicians with various instruments were leading the celebration. After Leia tore her clothes and yelled treason treason. Jehoiada the priest sent out the officers of the units of hundreds who were in charge of the army in order to bring her outside the temple to the guards put the sword to anyone who follows her. The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the Lord's temple. They seized her and took her into the precincts of the royal palace through the horse's entrance. There they executed her. Jehovah then drew up a covenant stipulating that he all the people and the king should be loyal to the Lord. All the people went and demolished the Temple of Vail. They smashed its altars and idols. They killed Matt in the priesthood Bay. All in front of the altar. Jehovah then assigned the duties of the Lord's temple to the priests, the Levites, whom David had assigned to the Lord's temple. They were responsible for offering burnt sacrifices to the Lord with joy in music. According to the law of Moses and the Edict of David. He posted guards at the gates of the Lord's temple, so no one who was ceremonially unclean in any way could enter. He summoned the officers of the units of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of land, and he then led the king down from the Lord's temple, and they entered the royal palace through the upper gate and seated the king on the royal throne. All the people of the land celebrated for the city had rest now that they had killed Atha Leia,

Second Chronicles chapter 24. Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned 40 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was xebia of Beersheba. Joash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada, the priest, and Jehovah took two wives for him, and he had sons and daughters. Now what happened after this, the Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the Lord. Then he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, go out to the cities of Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your god from year to year, and see that you do it quickly. However, the Levites did not do it quickly. So the king called Jehovah, the chief priest and said to him, Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem, the collection according to the commandment of Moses, the servant of the Lord, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness, for the sons of Atha, Leia, that wicked woman had broken into the house of God. and he had also presented all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord to the bales. Then at the king's command, they made a chest and set it outside the gate of the house of the Lord. and they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness. Then all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought their contributions and put them into the chest until all had given. So it was at that time when the chest was brought to the kings official by the hand of the Levites. and when they saw that there was much money that the Kings ascribe in the high priests officers came and empty the chest and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance. The King and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the Lord. and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, and also those who worked in iron and bronze to restore the house of the Lord. So the workmen labored and the work was completed by them. They restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it. When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada. They made from it articles for the house of the Lord articles for serving and offering spoons and vessels of gold and silver. and they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada. But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days that he died. He was 130 years old when he died. and they buried him in the city of David among the Kings because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and his house. Now, after the death of Jehovah, the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king, and the king listened to them. Therefore they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers and served wooden images and idols and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass. Yeah, he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they testified against them, but they would not listen. Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, the priest who stood above the people and said to them, Thus says God, why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you. So they conspired against him. and at the command of the king, they stone him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehovah his father had done to it, but killed his son. and as he died, he said, The Lord look on it and repay. So what happened in the spring of the year that the army of Syria came up against him, and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus, for the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men. But the Lord delivered a very great army into their hand because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash and when they had withdrawn from him, but they left him severe We wounded. His own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest and killed him on his bed. So he died. and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings. These are the ones who conspired against him Zevia, the son of shimmy F VM and itis and Geohazard bad the son of shimmering the mole abiertas. Now concerning his sons and the mini Oracle's about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the annals of the books of the kings, then Amaziah his son reigned in his place. 

Steve Webb  15:39  
Well, in today's chapters, we read about Joash, and how he was saved from the evil queen Athaliah, who killed every child of King Ahaz, Iowa, who was killed by Gu, every child, but one geohash Baba was the sister of King eight, Hosea. and when she heard that Atha, Leia wanted to kill all of the children, she had one year old Joash with the priests in the temple for six years. Well, that's quite a story in itself. But this next part is what I find most interesting. and this point, Joash is the only living descendant of King David. Remember, God's promised to David, that there would always be one of his descendants on the throne? Well, God made sure that Joash was not killed. and then, of course, many generations later, Jesus came from the line of David. Well, it would be nice if we could say that Joash grew to be a good and godly king, but that didn't happen. Yes, he did right before the Lord while Jehoiada the priest was alive. But once Jehovah had died, Joash took a left turn, he turned away from God, and he and the leaders and the people of Judah began to worship false gods. and then God allowed Judah to be defeated by the smaller army of the Arameans. and Joash, was wounded, and then his own servants killed him on his own bed. and when he was buried, it was not in the place where the other kings were buried. Wouldn't you say this was a very sad ending to a life that was miraculously spared by God. The apostle Paul said in Philippians 314, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus, would the Joash had kept his eyes on God, coming from a believing family, beloved, is no guarantee. He was literally raised in the temple with a godly role model in Jehovah to the priest. Beloved, if you're a parent, or a grandparent, or anybody with influence over children, it's eternally important that you impress upon the children how important it is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
