Immerse Kingdoms Day 222 Year 2 Bible Reading

Day 222: Turbulent Reigns and Prophecies Fulfilled in Ancient Israel

In today's episode of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, we cover the 222nd day of our journey through the Bible. The episode begins with Nadab, son of Jeroboam, ascending to the throne of Israel during the second year of King Asa’s reign in Judah. However, his short rule of two years is marked by evil actions and the continuation of sins initiated by his father. His reign ends abruptly when Baasha son of Ahijah assassinates him during a siege at Gibeon. Baasha eliminates the entire family of Jeroboam, fulfilling a prophecy due to Jeroboam’s sins. Baasha then reigns for 24 years but similarly angers the Lord by following in Jeroboam’s sinful footsteps. Another prophecy predicts the downfall of Baasha’s family. His son Elah inherits the throne but reigns for only two years before being assassinated by Zimri, one of his commanders. Zimri's reign lasts just seven days as Omri emerges as the new king after a brief civil conflict. Omri's rule includes significant events like the founding of the city of Samaria. However, he too does what is evil, surpassing previous kings in wickedness. The episode concludes with Omri’s death and the succession of his son Ahab, closing the day's reading.

Kingdoms

Immerse: Kingdoms is the third of six volumes in Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience. Kingdoms presents a new and unique journey through the story of Israel from the time of its conquest of Canaan (Joshua) through its struggle to settle the land (Judges, Ruth) and the establishment of Israel’s kingdom, which ends in a forced exile (Samuel–Kings). The nation of Israel, commissioned to be God’s light to the nations, falls to division and then foreign conquest for rejecting God’s rule.

4 Questions to get your conversations started:
1. What stood out to you this week?
2. Was there anything confusing or troubling?
3. Did anything make you think differently about God?
4. How might this change the way we live?

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”

Day 200 and 22

naab son of Jarbo began to rule
over Israel in the second year

of King a's reign in Judah.

He reigned in Israel two years, but
he did what was evil in the Lord's

sight and followed the example of
his father continuing the sins that

Jar Boham had led Israel to commit.

Then be Sha son of Ajah
from the tribe of Iscar.

Plotted against Nadab and assassinated
him while he and the Israelite

army were laying siege to the
Philistine town of Gibeon Bees.

Sha killed Nadab in the third year
of King Ace's reign in Judah, and

he became the next king of Israel.

He immediately slaughtered all the
descendants of King Jeroboam so that not

one of the royal family was left just as
the Lord had promised Concerning Jeroboam

by the prophet, a hijah from Shiloh.

This was done because Jar Boem had
provoked the anger of the Lord, the God

of Israel, by the sins he had committed
and the sins he had led Israel to commit.

The rest of the events in NAB's reign and
everything he did are recorded in the book

of the history of the Kings of Israel.

There was constant war between King
Asa of Judah and King Beha of Israel.

Bay Sha son of a hijah began to
rule over all Israel in the third

year of King a's reign in Judah Bay.

Shah reigned in Teza 24 years, but
he did what was evil in the Lord's

sight and followed the example of
Jar Bom continuing the sins that

Jar Bom had led Israel to commit.

This message from the Lord was
delivered to King Beha by the

prophet G Hu son of HeNe nai.

I lifted you out of the dust to
make you ruler of my people Israel.

But you have followed the
evil example of Jar Beum.

You have provoked my anger by
causing my people Israel to sin.

So now I will destroy you and your
family just as I destroyed the

descendants of Jarre Boham, son of Neba.

The members of Bees, Shah's family
who die in the city will be eaten

by dogs, and those who die in the
field will be eaten by vultures.

The rest of the events in Bees,
Shah's reign and the extent of his

power are recorded in the book of
the history of the Kings of Israel.

When Beha died, he was buried in Teza.

Then his son, ELA became the next king.

The message from the Lord against Bees.

Sha and his family came through the
prophet Gee Hu, son of Hana Nai.

It was delivered because bees Sha
had done what was evil in the Lord's

sight, just as the family of Jeroboam
had done, and also because Bess Sha

had destroyed the family of Jar Boham.

The Lord's anger was
provoked by be Shah's sins.

Ela son of Beha began to rule
over Israel in the 26th year

of King a's Reign in Judah.

He reigned in the city
of Teza for two years.

Then Zimri, who commanded half of the
royal chariots, made plans to kill him.

One day in Teza, ELO was getting
drunk at the home of Arza,

the supervisor of the palace.

Zimri walked in and struck
him down and killed him.

This happened in the 27th year
of King a's Reign in Judah.

Then Zimri became the next king.

Zimri immediately killed the entire
royal family of Beha, leaving him

not even a single male child, he even
destroyed distant relatives and friends.

So Zimri destroyed the dynasty of Beha as
the Lord had promised through the prophet.

Gee hu.

This happened because of all the sins
be Sha and his son ELA had committed

and because of the sins they led
Israel to commit, they provoked

the anger of the Lord, the God of
Israel, with their worthless idols.

The rest of the events in Ella's Reign and
everything he did are recorded in the book

of the history of the Kings of Israel.

Zimri began to rule over Israel in the
27th year of King a's reign in Judah, but

his reign in Teza lasted only seven days.

The army of Israel was then attacking
the Philistine town of Gibeon when they

heard that Zimri had committed treason and
had assassinated the king that very day.

They chose Amri commander of the
Army as the new King of Israel.

So Amri led the entire army
of Israel up from gibbon to

attack Teza Israel's capitol.

When Zimri saw that the city had been
taken, he went into the citadel of the

palace and burned it down over himself
and died in the flames for he too had

done what was evil in the Lord's sight.

He followed the example of Jarre
Boem in all the sins he had

committed and led Israel to commit.

The rest of the events in Zim
RA's Reign and his conspiracy

are recorded in the book of the
history of the Kings of Israel.

But now the people of Israel
were split into two factions.

Half the people tried to make Tib
Nai, son of guy Nath their king,

while the other half supported Amri.

But Rai's supporters defeated
the supporters of Tib nai.

So Tib NAI was killed and
Amri became the next king.

Amri began to rule over Israel in the
31st year of King a's Reign in Judah.

He reigned 12 years in
all six of them in Teza.

Then Amri bought the Hill, now known
as Samaria from its owner Sheer.

For 150 pounds of silver.

He built a city on it and called
the city Samaria in honor of shimer.

But Amri did what was evil in
the Lord's sight, even more than

any of the kings before him.

He followed the example of Jar Jar
Boams son of Neba in all the sins

he had committed and led Israel
to commit the people, provoked

the anger of the Lord, the God of
Israel, with their worthless idols.

The rest of the events in Rai's Reign,
the extent of his power and everything

he did are recorded in the book of
the history of the Kings of Israel.

When Amri died, he was buried in Samaria.

Then his son Ahab, became the next king.
