Though Judah and Israel were separate countries whose religious practices were different from each another, they still had many cultural and religious similarities. This is because they maintained their tribal connection, they were still the twelve tribes of Jacob, aka Israel. In our reading we follow Ahab, the tenth king of Northern Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the seventh king of Judah and a direct descendant of King David. Jehoshaphat wanted unity with Northern Israel, not because he didn’t love God, but because he wanted tribal peace and likely saw the value in the two nations working together. The problem was that Ahab was not willing to move Israel away from idolatry, this is on full display as he interacts with the prophet Elijah. In 1 Kings 22, we will watch Ahab physically disguise himself while Jehoshaphat rides into battle with his normal kingly attire. Ahab tried to outsmart God, but learned, as the readers should already know, that you can’t outsmart God.

If he was born, he would be trained to take the place of his father one day. If he was a usurper king, that means he would take the...

Good and Bad 2 Kings 13-16
As we read through the books of Kings a pattern develops of labelling the kings good or bad. This evaluation was based off how faithfully the king followed the LORD during his reign. It’s interesting because the same sort of evaluation will apply to us: The particulars may look different for our ...
