210.22: 2 Kings 13-14: He Did What was Evil in the Sight of the Lord

Way back in the Book of Judges,  we had a recurring theme: “The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s  sight”. It became a vicious cycle. Here we have a similar recurring  theme: “King ________ did what was evil in the Lord’s sight”. That  applied to the kings of the northern kingdom of Israel — all were bad.  In the southern kingdom of Judah, it was a bit different. There, the  kings did “what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight” — to a point. The sins  of greed and pride rear their ugly heads. Let’s dig in… Note: The names of the kings are confusing. Please refer to the chart  at the bottom for clarification as to which one ruled where and for how  long.... Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and check out the chart of the Kings of Israel and Judah at the bottom…. It’s time to GET RIGHT WITH GOD! Are you ready to meet God today?
