2 Chronicles 35 Commentary Yesterday, we heard how the LORD promised Josiah a peaceful death. But being wounded in battle and consequently dying from the same wounds doesn’t represent the wish of the LORD for Josiah. This sad incident is representative of man’s fate. Our poor decisions are responsible for much pain and suffering inContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 35 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 34 Commentary Like begets like. Thank God this rule didn’t apply to Amon and his son Josiah. Only a shortened lifespan prevented Amon from surpassing his father, King Manasseh’s record in wickedness! But Josiah is different. Men who find themselves under wicked parents really don’t have an excuse. The generosity of the LORDContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 34 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 33 Commentary Godly children coming from ungodly parents, and godly parents producing ungodly offspring – it’s a mystery of life. Like begets like; it wasn’t to be for Hezekiah and his son Manasseh. Manasseh would go down in history as the worst king of Judah. It is a mystery that the LORD allowed himContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 33 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 32 Commentary Why should Sennacherib attack Jerusalem and take it? Hasn’t Hezekiah done enough good to warrant protection? It seems these are the questions on the human author’s mind as he begins this chapter. By this time, all the other cities in Judah had been captured by the Assyrian King, Sennacherib. Jerusalem wasContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 32 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 31 Commentary This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered. This is Hezekiah. WhyContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 31 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 30 Commentary By the time of King Hezekiah, the sister kingdom of Israel had already gone into captivity to Assyria. During the days of Ahaz, Hezekiah’s father, the LORD had begun to scatter Judah. A significant portion of Judah’s population was under captivity by Aram. Hezekiah’s righteousness, therefore, provided a very important interruptionContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 30 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 29 Commentary Hezekiah’s story is an indictment of a man who finds himself in a mess because of poor parenting. Who is in a mess because of poor parenting? The story of Hezekiah is your story! Ahaz didn’t provide the best environment in which to raise children. He had no idea about theContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 29 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 28 Commentary Ahaz was a very wicked man. The scripture makes a direct connection between prosperity and wickedness. Because of Ahaz’s wickedness, Judah is defeated several times. In one day, 120,000 soldiers are killed by the sister kingdom of Israel. This translates into roughly 120,000 widows and probably 1,000,000 fatherless children. This cannotContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 28 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 27 Commentary With only 9 verses, Chapter 27 is the shortest in this book. It is about the reign of Jotham. His 16 years on the throne in Jerusalem probably exclude the years he acted as king in place of his stricken father. He is described as a good king. The Bible hasContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 27 Commentary”

2 Chronicles 26 Commentary This chapter gives us yet another sad ending to what had looked like a great beginning. Reason? Pride. The Bible repeatedly mentions the help that Uzziah received from the LORD to make his fame spread far and wide. He became powerful. But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall.ContinueContinue reading “2 Chronicles 26 Commentary”
