Like Father, Like Son 1 Kings 15 Chew the Bible Season 3
1 Kings 15 recounts the reigns of Abijam (Abijah) and Asa, kings of Judah, and briefly covers the kings of Israel during their times.
- Abijam ruled Judah for 3 years. He continued in the sins of his father Rehoboam and did not follow God wholeheartedly. But for the sake of David, God allowed Abijam’s line to continue. There was constant war between Judah and Israel during his reign.
- Asa, Abijam’s son, ruled Judah for 41 years and did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, unlike many kings before him. He removed idols, expelled male shrine prostitutes, and even removed his grandmother Maacah from being queen because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. However, he didn’t remove all the high places.
- Asa also fought with Baasha, king of Israel. Baasha tried to block Judah, so Asa made an alliance with Ben-Hadad, king of Aram (Syria), by sending him treasures from the temple and palace. Ben-Hadad attacked Israel’s cities, forcing Baasha to retreat.
- Meanwhile, in Israel, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, ruled for 2 years but continued in his father’s evil ways. He was assassinated by Baasha, who wiped out Jeroboam’s entire family, just as the Lord had prophesied through Ahijah because of Jeroboam’s sins.
