Ethan: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 200 and 27
jehoshaphat's son of Asa began to
rule over Judah in the fourth year
of King Ahab's reign in Israel.
Jehoshaphat was 35 years old
when he became King, and he
reigned in Jerusalem 25 years.
His mother was Azua,
the daughter of SH high.
Jehoshaphat was a good king following
the example of his father Asa.
He did what was pleasing in the
Lord's sight during his reign.
However, he failed to remove all the
pagan shrines and the people still offered
sacrifices and burned incense there.
Jehoshaphat also made peace
with the King of Israel.
The rest of the events in Jehoshaphat's
Reign, the extent of his power and the
wars he waged are recorded in the book
of the history of the Kings of Judah.
He banished from the land, the rest of
the male and female shrine prostitutes,
who still continued their practices
from the days of his father Asa.
There was no king in Edam at that time.
Only a deputy Jehoshaphat also built a
fleet of trading ships to sail to ER for
gold, but the ships never set sail for.
They met with disaster in their home.
Port of Izzy and Giber.
At one time, ahah son of Ahab had
proposed to Jehoshaphat, let My Men
Sail with your men in the Ships.
But Jehoshaphat refused the request.
When Jehoshaphat died, he was buried
with his ancestors in the city of David.
Then his son, Horam, became the next king.
Ahah son of Ahab began to rule
over Israel in the 17th year of
King Jehoshaphat's reign in Judah.
He reigned in Samaria two years, but he
did what was evil in the Lord's sight
following the example of his father and
mother and the example of Jar Boham,
son of Nebat who had led Israel to sin.
He served Baal and worshiped him.
Provoking the anger of the Lord, the God
of Israel, just as his father had done.
After King Ahab's death, the land
of Moab rebelled against Israel.
One day, Israel's new king, a Isaiah,
fell through the lattice work of
an upper room at his palace in
Samaria and was seriously injured.
So he sent messengers to the temple
of Baal Zebu, the God of Akron,
to ask whether he would recover.
But the angel of the Lord told Elijah,
who is from Tishbe, go and confront the
messengers of the King of Samaria and
ask them, is there no God in Israel?
Why are you going to ba zebu
the God of Akron, to ask whether
the king will recover now?
Therefore, this is what the Lord says.
You will never leave the
bed you are lying on.
You'll surely die.
So Elijah went to deliver the message.
When the messengers returned
to the king, he asked them,
why have you returned so soon?
They replied, A man came up to
us and told us to go back to the
king and give him this message.
This is what the Lord says,
is there no God in his Israel?
Why are you sending men to
Baal Zebu, the God of Akron, to
ask whether you will recover.
Therefore, because you have done this, you
will never leave the bed you are lying on.
You will surely die.
What sort of man was
he, the king demanded?
What did he look like?
They replied.
He was a hairy man and he wore
a leather belt around his waist.
Elijah from Tishbe, the king exclaimed.
Then he sent an army captain
with 50 soldiers to arrest him.
They found him sitting on top of a hill.
The captain said to him, man
of God, the king has commanded
you to come down with us.
But Elijah replied to the captain, if I
am a man of God, let fire come down from
heaven and destroy you and your 50 men.
Then fire fell from heaven
and killed them all.
So the king sent another
captain with 50 men.
The captain said to him, man of God, the
king demands that you come down at once.
Elijah replied, if I am a man of
God, Let fire come down from heaven
and destroy you and your 50 men.
And again, the fire of God fell from
heaven and killed them all once more.
The king sent a third captain with 50
men, but this time the captain went
up the hill and fell to his knees
before Elijah, he pleaded with him, oh
man of God, please spare my life and
the lives of these your 50 servants.
See how the fire from heaven came
down and destroyed the first two
groups, but now please spare my life.
Then the angel of the Lord said
to Elijah, go down with him
and don't be afraid of him.
So Elijah got up and went with him
to the king, and Elijah said to the
king, this is what the Lord says.
Why did you send messengers to Baal
Zebu, the God of Akron to ask whether
you will recover, is there no God
in Israel to answer your question.
Therefore, because you have done this, you
will never leave the bed you are lying on.
You will surely die.
So Aah died.
Just as the Lord had promised
through Elijah, since Eiah did
not have a son to succeed him, his
brother, ham became the next king.
This took place in the second
year of the Reign of Jehoram, son
of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
The rest of the events in a
Isaiah's reign and everything he
did are recorded in the book of
the History of the Kings of Israel.
