I read 2 Chronicles 27 today:

King Jotham did well, and he did not enter the temple as his father had done, so there was no notable failure at the end of his reign described in this short chapter.

Today I read 2 Chronicles 26:

King Uzziah did pretty well until he got too powerful, then he stopped listening to God and that was his downfall. He started to burn incense even though he was not a priest, and became angry when confronted about it. So God inflicted him with leprosy.

I read 2 Chronicles 25:

Amaziah did not follow God wholeheartedly, and eventually worshipped the gods of his enemies, causing God to allow his eventual downfall.

I read 2 Chronicles 24:

Joash became king and repaired the temple, and follows God’s direction while Jehoiada the priest was alive, but after his death, he took bad advice which led his people to worship other gods and be delivered into the hands of their enemies, then dying and being buried in disgrace.

Today I read 2 Chronicles 23:

Athalia was killed with the sword and the king’s son was declared the new king. The temple of Baal was torn down and sacrifices resumed in God’s temple according to God’s instructions.
