Three kings from Judah reveal how pride grows after victory and how contentment keeps a legacy intact. We trace Amaziah’s partial devotion, Uzziah’s presumption, and Jotham’s steady faith to draw out a simple test: will success make us humble or make us overreach?

• Judah’s split history and the king-by-king lens
• Amaziah’s early obedience and costly trust
• The raid, idolatry, and a prophet’s silenced warning
• Challenge to Israel and Judah’s defeat
• Uzziah’s innovations, reforms, and fame
• Boundary crossing in the temple and judgment
• Jotham’s restraint, building projects, and resolve
• Sunk-cost thinking versus trusting God’s provision
• Pride in prosperity and the practice of contentment
• Legacy shaped by obedience more than outcomes
