II Kings 9 - 11
Much of what we read today was already covered in II Chronicles, although we do learn a little more about how Jehu (Israel) became king, how he actually killed Joram (Israel) and Ahaziah (Judah). We also learn that, through his actions, Elijah’s prophecy regarding Jezebel and the wiping out of of Ahab’s (Israel) family line, including the killing of Ahab’s seventy sons.
Jehu’s (Israel) trick to eliminate all of Baal’s worshippers and prophets was very clever and it certainly did the trick.
Tomorrow, we’ll be reading II Kings 12 – 13 and II Chronicles 24.
Happy Fourth of July – Independence Day!
Until next time…
