1 Kings 15:1-8 ; 2 Chronicles 13-16 Here we see an interesting duo. While they are connected they actually contrast each other. While one does well, one does not.

1 Kings 16:29-22:40 . A sad story tonight. It is sad because it is a story of departure from God to a new level.

The Kings of Israel & Judah Lesson 1: Introduction - Part One This a grand and exciting time in the Bible as well as a very sobering time.
