--> 00:00:09.761 when Elisha was in his last illness, king Jaho Ash of Israel 00:00:09.821 --> 00:00:12.041 visited him and wept over him. 00:00:12.791 --> 00:00:17.771 My father, my father, I see the chariots and chariot tears of Israel. 00:00:17.831 --> 00:00:18.431 He cried. 00:00:19.331 --> 00:00:24.131 Elisha told him, get a bow and some arrows, and the king did. 00:00:24.131 --> 00:00:28.661 As he was told, Elijah told him, put your hand on the bow. 00:00:29.561 --> 00:00:32.081 Elisha laid his own hands on the king's hands. 00:00:32.681 --> 00:00:36.971 Then he commanded open that Eastern window and he opened it. 00:00:37.481 --> 00:00:39.071 Then he said, shoot. 00:00:39.611 --> 00:00:41.051 So he shot an arrow. 00:00:41.921 --> 00:00:45.431 Elisha proclaimed, this is the Lord's arrow. 00:00:45.941 --> 00:00:52.361 An arrow of victory over Arum for you will completely conquer the AAN at aec. 00:00:52.931 --> 00:00:57.551 Then he said, now, pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground. 00:00:58.661 --> 00:01:02.711 So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times, but 00:01:02.711 --> 00:01:04.421 the man of God was angry with him. 00:01:05.051 --> 00:01:08.711 You should have struck the ground five or six times he exclaimed. 00:01:09.401 --> 00:01:12.881 Then you would've beaten an arum until it was entirely destroyed. 00:01:13.721 --> 00:01:17.051 Now you will be victorious only three times. 00:01:18.431 --> 00:01:25.211 Then Elijah died and was buried groups of Moabite Raiders used 00:01:25.211 --> 00:01:26.951 to invade the land each spring. 00:01:27.716 --> 00:01:31.826 Once when some Israelites were burying a man, they spied a band of these 00:01:31.826 --> 00:01:37.016 raiders, so they hastily threw the corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled. 00:01:37.946 --> 00:01:42.266 But as soon as the body touched Elisha's bones, the dead man 00:01:42.266 --> 00:01:44.606 revived and jumped to his feet. 00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:50.876 King Hazael of Aram had oppressed Israel during the entire reign of King 00:01:50.876 --> 00:01:55.856 Jehoahaz, but the Lord was gracious and merciful to the people of Israel. 00:01:56.276 --> 00:01:57.986 And they were not totally destroyed. 00:01:58.526 --> 00:02:02.726 He pitied them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:07.676 And to this day, he still has not completely destroyed them or 00:02:07.681 --> 00:02:09.176 banished them from his presence. 00:02:10.286 --> 00:02:15.686 King Haze O of Aram died and his son Ben Hayad, became the next king. 00:02:16.556 --> 00:02:21.896 Then JEAs son of Jehoahaz recaptured from Ben Hayad, son of Hazael, 00:02:22.106 --> 00:02:27.686 the towns that had been taken from Jehova's Father Jehoahaz Je Joash 00:02:27.686 --> 00:02:32.876 defeated Ben Hayad on three occasions and he recovered the Israelite Towns 00:02:35.936 --> 00:02:40.556 Messiah Son of Ash began to rule over Judah in the second year of 00:02:40.556 --> 00:02:42.566 the reign of King Jaho as of Israel. 00:02:43.571 --> 00:02:47.291 Amiah was 25 years old when he became king, and he 00:02:47.291 --> 00:02:49.661 reigned in Jerusalem 29 years. 00:02:50.381 --> 00:02:53.231 His mother was Jehova din from Jerusalem. 00:02:54.191 --> 00:02:58.991 Amiah did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, but not like his ancestor David. 00:02:59.621 --> 00:03:03.071 Instead, he followed the example of his father, Joe Ash. 00:03:04.121 --> 00:03:08.471 Messiah did not destroy the pagan shrines, and the people still offered 00:03:08.476 --> 00:03:10.961 sacrifices and burned incense there. 00:03:12.626 --> 00:03:17.306 When Messiah was well established as king, he executed the officials 00:03:17.366 --> 00:03:19.016 who had assassinated his father. 00:03:19.796 --> 00:03:23.906 However, he did not kill the children of the assassins, for he 00:03:23.906 --> 00:03:25.466 obeyed the command of the Lord. 00:03:25.586 --> 00:03:30.656 As written by Moses in the book of the law, parents must not be put to death 00:03:30.661 --> 00:03:35.066 for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their parents. 00:03:35.696 --> 00:03:39.476 Those deserving to die must be put to death for their own crimes. 00:03:40.661 --> 00:03:45.101 Amiah also killed 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 00:03:45.761 --> 00:03:50.141 He also conquered Sila and changed its name to Jock Thiel, 00:03:50.831 --> 00:03:52.211 as it is called to this day. 00:03:53.171 --> 00:03:58.931 One day Amiah sent messengers with this challenge to his Israel's king Jeh, the 00:03:58.931 --> 00:04:01.751 son of Jehova has and grandson of G Hu. 00:04:02.801 --> 00:04:04.841 Come and meet me in battle. 00:04:05.771 --> 00:04:09.611 But King Jaho Ash of Israel replied to King Messiah of Judah. 00:04:09.761 --> 00:04:14.741 With this story out in the Lebanon mountains, a thistle sent a 00:04:14.741 --> 00:04:16.601 message to a mighty cedar tree. 00:04:17.381 --> 00:04:19.391 Give your daughter in marriage to my son. 00:04:20.291 --> 00:04:24.491 But just then, a wild animal of Lebanon came by and stepped 00:04:24.496 --> 00:04:25.991 on the thistle, crushing it. 00:04:26.801 --> 00:04:31.451 You have indeed defeated Edam and you are proud of it, but be content 00:04:31.451 --> 00:04:33.281 with your victory and stay at home. 00:04:33.671 --> 00:04:38.381 Why stir up trouble that will only bring disaster on you and the people of Judah. 00:04:39.251 --> 00:04:41.501 But Amiah refused to listen. 00:04:42.041 --> 00:04:47.171 So King Jaho, as of Israel mobilized his army against King Amiah of Judah. 00:04:47.921 --> 00:04:52.061 The two armies drew up their battle lines at Beth Shemesh in Judah. 00:04:52.711 --> 00:04:57.641 Judah was routed by the army of Israel and its army scattered and fled for home. 00:04:58.541 --> 00:05:04.391 King Jaho Ash of Israel captured Judah's King Amiah son of Joash and 00:05:04.391 --> 00:05:06.941 grandson of Eiah at Beth Sheesh. 00:05:08.051 --> 00:05:13.061 Then he marched to Jerusalem where he demolished 600 feet of Jerusalem's 00:05:13.061 --> 00:05:17.711 wall from the Afra M gate to the corner gate, he carried off all 00:05:17.716 --> 00:05:21.461 the gold and silver and all the articles from the temple of the Lord. 00:05:22.211 --> 00:05:26.681 He also seized the treasures from the royal palace along with hostages. 00:05:27.056 --> 00:05:28.766 And then returned to Samaria. 00:05:30.296 --> 00:05:34.676 The rest of the events in Ash's Reign and everything he did, including the 00:05:34.676 --> 00:05:39.836 extent of his power and his war with King Amiah of Judah, are recorded in the book 00:05:39.836 --> 00:05:41.636 of the history of the Kings of Israel. 00:05:42.116 --> 00:05:45.836 When JE Joash died, he was buried in Samaria with the kings 00:05:45.841 --> 00:05:48.266 of Israel and his son, jar. 00:05:48.266 --> 00:05:50.426 Bo II became the next king. 00:05:52.781 --> 00:05:59.051 King Amiah of Judah lived for 15 years after the death of King Jaho of Israel. 00:05:59.681 --> 00:06:03.611 The rest of the events in Messiah's Reign are recorded in the book of 00:06:03.611 --> 00:06:05.231 the history of the Kings of Judah. 00:06:06.251 --> 00:06:10.481 There was a conspiracy against am Messiah's life in Jerusalem, and he fled 00:06:10.481 --> 00:06:15.131 to Laish, but his enemies sent assassins after him and they killed him there. 00:06:15.776 --> 00:06:19.766 They brought his body back to Jerusalem on a horse, and he was buried with 00:06:19.766 --> 00:06:21.806 his ancestors in the city of David. 00:06:23.096 --> 00:06:28.436 All the people of Judah had crowned Messiah's 16 year old son, Isaiah as 00:06:28.441 --> 00:06:30.986 king in place of his father Amiah. 00:06:31.646 --> 00:06:35.156 After his father's death, Isaiah rebuilt the town of e 00:06:35.156 --> 00:06:36.986 Lath and restored it to Judah. 00:06:38.786 --> 00:06:44.786 Jeroboam ii, the son of Jeha, began to rule over Israel in the 15th year 00:06:44.786 --> 00:06:50.066 of King Am Messiah's reign in Judah, he reigned in Samaria 41 years. 00:06:50.636 --> 00:06:52.886 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. 00:06:53.336 --> 00:06:56.816 He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam son of 00:06:56.816 --> 00:06:58.976 Nebat had led Israel to commit. 00:06:59.786 --> 00:07:03.686 Jarbo II recovered the territories of Israel between 00:07:03.746 --> 00:07:05.996 Libo Hamoth and the Dead Sea. 00:07:06.551 --> 00:07:11.591 Just as the Lord, the God of Israel had promised through Jonah, son of Amittai, 00:07:11.771 --> 00:07:17.711 the prophet from Ga Heifer, for the Lord, saw the bitter suffering of everyone 00:07:17.716 --> 00:07:23.021 in Israel and that there was no one in Israel slave or free to help them. 00:07:23.651 --> 00:07:26.951 And because the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of 00:07:26.951 --> 00:07:32.831 Israel completely, he used Jarbo ii, the son of JE, to save them. 00:07:34.721 --> 00:07:38.741 The rest of the events in the reign of Jarbo II and everything he did, 00:07:39.131 --> 00:07:44.261 including the extent of his power, his wars, and how he recovered for Israel. 00:07:44.261 --> 00:07:49.361 Both Damascus and Hamoth, which had belonged to Judah are recorded in the book 00:07:49.361 --> 00:07:51.221 of the history of the Kings of Israel. 00:07:52.151 --> 00:07:56.741 When Jarbo II died, he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 00:07:57.491 --> 00:08:00.401 Then his son, Zechariah became the next king. 00:08:02.516 --> 00:08:05.396 This concludes today's Immer Reading experience.
