Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 200 and 21.
Meanwhile, reha Boams, son of
Solomon, was king in Judah.
He was 41 years old when he became King,
and he reigned 17 years in Jerusalem,
the city the Lord had chosen from
among all the tribes of Israel as the
place to honor His name, reha BOM's.
Mother was Nema, an Amite woman.
During rah Habas reign, the people of
Judah did what was evil in the Lord's
sight, provoking his anger with their
sin for it was even worse than that
of their ancestors for they also built
for themselves pagan shrines and set up
sacred pillars, and as Shira poles on
every high hill and under every green
tree there were even male and female
shrine prostitutes throughout the land.
The people imitated the detestable
practices of the pagan nations.
The Lord had driven from the
land ahead of the Israelites.
In the fifth year of King Reba's
reign, king shack of Egypt
came up and attacked Jerusalem.
He ransacked the treasuries of the
Lord's temple and the royal palace.
He stole everything, including all
the gold shields Solomon had made.
King Rehoboam later replaced them with
Bronze Shields as substitutes, and
he entrusted them to the care of the
commanders of the Guard who protected
the entrance to the royal palace.
Whenever the king went to the
temple of the Lord, the guards
would also take the shields and then
returned them to the guard room.
The rest of the events in Reha BOM's Reign
and everything he did are recorded in the
book of the history of the Kings of Judah.
There was constant war
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
When Rehoboam died, he was buried among
his ancestors in the city of David.
His mother was Nema, an Ammonite woman.
Then his son, ABAI Jim
became the next king
Abai.
Jim began to rule over Judah in the
18th year of Jone's Reign in Israel.
He reigned in Jerusalem three years.
His mother was Meka, the
granddaughter of Absalom.
He committed the same sins as his father
before him, and he was not faithful to
the Lord his God as his ancestor David had
been, but for David's sake, the Lord his
God allowed his descendants to continue
ruling, shining like a lamp, and he gave a
Baja a son to rule after him in Jerusalem.
For David had done what was pleasing in
the Lord's sight and had obeyed the Lord's
commands throughout his life, except in
the affair concerning Uriah, the Hitite.
There was war between Ab Baja and
Jeroboam throughout Abba Jim's reign.
The rest of the events in Abba Jim's reign
and everything he did are recorded in the
book of the history of the Kings of Judah.
There was constant war
between Ab Baja and Jar Boem.
When AB Baja died, he was
buried in the city of David.
Then his son Asa, became the next king.
Asa began to rule over Judah in the
20th year of Jone's Reign in Israel.
He reigned in Jerusalem 41 years.
His grandmother was Meka,
the granddaughter of Absalom
Asa did what was pleasing in the Lord's
sight as his ancestor David had done.
He banished the male and female shrine
prostitutes from the land and got rid
of all the idols his ancestors had made.
He even deposed his grandmother Meka
from her position as queen mother because
she had made an obscene a Shira pole.
He cut down her obscene pole and
burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Although the pagan shrines were not
removed, Ace's heart remained completely
faithful to the Lord throughout his life.
He brought into the temple of the Lord,
the silver and gold, and the various items
that he and his father had dedicated.
There was constant war between King
Asa of Judah and King Beha of Israel.
King Beha of Israel invaded Judah and
fortified Rama in order to prevent
anyone from entering or leaving
King AAA's territory in Judah.
Asa responded by removing all the
silver and gold that was left in
the treasuries of the temple of
the Lord, and the royal palace.
He sent it with some of his
officials to Ben Hayad, son of Tab
Riman, son of Heian, the king of
Aram, who was ruling in Damascus.
Along with this message, let there be
a treaty between you and me, like the
one between your father and my father.
See, I am sending you a
gift of silver and gold.
Break your treaty with King Beha of
Israel so that he will leave me alone.
Ben Hayad agreed to King Assad's
request and sent the commanders of his
army to attack the towns of Israel.
They conquered the towns of I,
John, Dan Abel, Beth Meka, and all
kin and all the land of Naftaly.
As soon as Bayes Sha of Israel heard what
was happening, he abandoned his project
of fortifying rama and withdrew to Teza.
Then King Asa sent an order throughout
Judah requiring that everyone, without
exception help to carry away the building
stones and timbers that Bayes Sha had
been using to fortify Rama Asa used
these materials to fortify the town of
Giba in Benjamin and the town of Mspa.
The rest of the events in a's
reign, the extent of his power.
Everything he did and the names of the
cities he built are recorded in the book
of the history of the kings of Judah.
In his old age, his feet became diseased.
The when Asa died, he was buried with
his ancestors in the city of David.
Then Jehoshaphat Ace's
son became the next king.
