1 Kings 14-16: Not All Kings Are Created Evil


Listen Later

Embark on a journey in 1 Kings 15 through the tumultuous reigns of Judah and Israel's kings, as we explore their profound impacts on history and faith.

Rehoboam and Abijah's Reigns: Rehoboam's reign was marked by idol worship and divine displeasure, setting the stage for Judah's struggles. His successor, Abijah, followed similar paths of sin, yet God preserved the Davidic line, showing His faithfulness.

The Rise of Asa: Asa, a righteous king, brought reform to Judah by eradicating idol worship and restoring faithfulness to God. His strategic alliance with Ben-Hadad of Aram helped secure Judah's borders against Baasha of Israel, ensuring peace and prosperity.
Kingdoms in Turmoil: Israel faced instability with rapid successions of kings, including Nadab, Baasha, Elah, and the short-lived Zimri, each doing evil in the Lord's eyes. These turbulent times noted in 1 Kings 15 paved the way for the rise of Omri and the imminent arrival of the prophet Elijah.


Thank you for being a part of the club for Season 11.
