2 Chronicles 25, 2 Kings 14, Psalms 120-121

In our last episode, we considered the life of King Joash, the baby heir to the throne who was rescued from a maniacal monarch, raised in the temple, and brought to kingship by Jehoiada the priest. Joash began by rebuilding the Lord’s temple, then he abandons both the Lord’s temple and the Lord. The Lord therefore abandons him and he is later assassinated. Amaziah begins well, but surprisingly turns to worship the idols of those he has defeated, and soon thereafter becomes overconfident, challenging Israel to war. In our reading from 2 Kings we’ll encounter a few Israelite kings who ruled Israel during Amaziah’s reign, including Jehoash who plunders Jerusalem after being provoked by Amaziah.2 Chronicles 25 - 1:07 . 2 Kings 14 - 8:35 . Psalm 120 - 14:42 . Psalm 121 - 15:29 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/[email protected]
