Moving on on day 181, 2 Kings 15. We're getting closer and closer to our next time period, the time period of exile. And so, man, as we get closer and closer. In fact, we're on day 181. In 10 days from now, on day 191, we'll be coming to a conclusion. of second Kings. And what that means is, and second Chronicles 36. So what that means is going to be that on day one 92, we're going to begin a different kind of thing.
And what we're doing is we're not leaving the story, but we're taking a deeper dive into the other books, the prophetic books and some other historical books and some other wisdom books that were written or proclaimed at the time of the exile. And so, uh, for example, Isaiah on day one 92, we're At the end of today's reading, 2 Kings chapter 15, we're going to hear about a guy named Ahaz. And Isaiah lived at that time. And he actually speaks to Ahaz in Isaiah chapter 7, I believe it is. So we have some crossover. But in 10 days, we are going to come to a conclusion in some ways. Not a conclusion. We're coming to a conclusion. Um, let's call it a marker. And that marker is going to be taking a deep dive into the works and the words of the prophets.
But today it is day 181. We're reading second Kings 15, all of the book of the prophet Jonah one through four and praying Psalm 138. Second Book of Kings, chapter 15. Azariah reigns over Judah. In the 27th year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Azariah, the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, began to reign. He was 16 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 52 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. And the Lord struck the king so that he was a leper to the day of his death.
And he dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham, the king's son, was over the household governing the people of the land. Now the rest of the acts of Azariah and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And Azariah slept with his fathers and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead. Zechariah reigns over Israel. In the 38th year of Azariah, king of Judah, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin.
How does 2 Kings 15 describe the leadership and downfall of Judah's kings?
Shalom, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him and struck him down at Ibliam and killed him and reigned in his stead. Now the rest of the deeds of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. This was the promise of the Lord, which he gave to Jehu. Your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.
