## Resource

We have completed the prophet Micah and we’re moving back into the historical narrative to cover Judah’s King Ahaz, a notably evil and idolatrous king who went so far as to even sacrifice his own children to foreign gods. After seeing an impressive altar in another nation, he has Uriah (one the priests of the Lord) build a replica of it. Rather than doing everything that the Lord has commanded Uriah to do, Scripture notes that “Uriah did everything King Ahaz commanded.” Finally, 2 Kings records the fall of Israel when King Shalmaneser of Assyria captures the capital city of Samaria. Why would God allow that to happen? Our reading from chapter 17 gives us a lengthy explanation.
