Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

The Victory over Moab and Ammon / The Reign of Jehoshaphat.

Jehoshaphat questions God and for some unfathomable reason does not get smote, which we find very disappointing. We're always up for a good solid smiting, and there's just been a sad lack of smites lately. However, there is a big magical murder in this chapter! And also Jehoshaphat gets his battleship sunk after allying himself with a right wicked fellow.

The Prophet Jehu Rebukes Jehoshaphat / Jehoshaphat Appoints Judges.

Jehu is like, "You're stupid." But then he also like, "Whatever, I guess you'll do." Then Jehoshaphat assigns judges to make sure we don't run stop signs, and that we DO shop at Hobby Lobby instead of Michael's. And hey - let's do a poll - Raise your hand if you have dental care but still can't afford to get your dang teeth fixed!

Jehoshaphat's Kingdom Established.

Jehoshaphat takes over Judah after his father King Asa bites the dust. Like many before him, he got rid of the Asherah poles that never seem to disappear, and he sends out some priests with copies of The Law to teach the people what's what. Pretty sure the people remain ignorant and learn nothing.

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 16:

Asa's League with Ben-hadad.

Just as we suspected all along, Asa was not a good guy. He didn't really believe in God, he oppressed his people, and he put a seer in stocks for telling him {The Truth}. Fortunately his foot got the rot, so I guess things worked out?

Asa's Reforms.

Some random prophet just runs up to Asa and starts shouting, "Don't forget God stuff!" which is just so odd. Then Asa tears down Asherah poles which makes no sense because HE ALREADY DID THAT. He fires his gma and threatens death to those who don't adopt his religion, and (surprise- surprise) everybody gets onto the Lord real quick, which magically ushers in a period of peace. Go figure.

The Reign of Asa.

Asa gets rid of Asherah poles and other pagan chachkes; fortifies his towns and thereby kinda displays a lack of trust in the Lord (which the Bible neglects to mention); somehow defeats an invading 1-million-strong army; and bravely raids some little herdsmen. Real upstanding guy, our Asa. But back the truck up — why the heck was Ethiopia invading Judah? We wonder if this has something to do with the Solomonic line of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba?
