Summary
Our readings today examine the lives of two descendants of David who each reigned as king over Israel. First, there’s Abijah (or Abijam), who reigned for only 3 years, but who makes an impassioned speech against Israel’s king Jeroboam, warning him that he should not wage war against the Lord and those who serve Him. Abijah’s son Asa takes the throne after him, and Asa devotes himself to the Lord for most of his life. The Lord rewards Asa’s faithfulness by blessing the nation of Judah with a long period of peace. In 2 Chronicles we’ll also read about two of Israel’s kings: King Nadab is the son of Jeroboam, but he and the rest of Jeroboam’s lineage are cut down and destroyed in accordance with God’s judgment. Baasha becomes king after killing Nadab, and reign for 24 years.
