Too often we assume that we know what the Bible teaches, and what history it records. When we carefully read the Bible, these assumptions get corrected and we better understand who God is through what He has done. In our study today, we are looking at the reign of Northern Israel’s King Baasha, around 900 BC. The nation of Israel had split into two nations, and Northern Israel was greater in number and territory but they rejected the Davidic line of kings who ruled in Jerusalem. They cut themselves off from the Jerusalem Temple and established a new religious system complete with idol worship. As we look at 1 Kings 16, we will read about the failure of kings Baasha and Elah. We read, “Thus Zimri destroyed all the household of Baasha, according to the
word of the LORD, which He spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols” (1 KINGS 1 6 : 1 2 - 1 3 ).
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways.
