2 Chronicles 27 – 28 We always think of the Jews as being the Lord’s people but it is clear that they were just a people with the gospel intheir heritage. Those who heeded that gospel were blessed and those who didn’t were pretty much just like other people of their time—sounds familiar.

2 Chronicles 26 It sounds as if Uzziah was as inventive in his defenses as Captian Moroni had been.

2 Chronicles 24 – 25 King after king who started right soon seeks after idols and is abandoned of the lord and killed by their own people.

2 Chronicles 22 – 23 I wonder why the youngest son of Jehoram was called by one name before and a different name in verse 1 and a third name in verse 6. After three very wicked rulers Jehoiada, a priest, helps Joash as a young king to restore the worship of the Lord in…

2 Chronicles 18 I think I am confused by the two kings. It sounds as if Micaiah prophesied victory when asked and then said the people of Israel would be leaderless.

2 Chronicles 16 – 17 There must be more to this story of Asa. The details we are given do not show a major turning of his heart from the Lord, more a relaxing of his faith, and yet he clearly has forgotten the Lord and been forsaken of Him. I wonder why he forgot.…

2 Chronicles 14 – 15 In some ways Asa is a better king than David. He Nd the people under him seek the Lord by covenant and put down idols. I think his fall was both later and lesser than that of David.

2 Chronicles 12 – 13 Why did Rehoboam forsake the Lord? There is no reason for it until we are told that “he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.”
