Steve Webb 0:02This is the Lifespring! One Year Bible coming to you from Riverside, California and podcasting since 2004. My name is Steve Webb. It's history Tuesday and we'll read Second Chronicles 16 through 20. The website is Lifespringmedia.com. and contact information is at the end of the show. Before we read, let's pray. Our heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you for our time together and we ask You, Lord, to meet us here. Teach us as we read, I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Are you ready? Let's begin.
Steve Webb 0:36Second Chronicles chapter 16, Basha was king of Israel. He marched out against Judah. It was in the 36th year of ACEs rule over Judah, Basha built up the walls of Rhema. He did it to keep people from entering or leaving the territory of Asa, the king of Judah. Asa took the silver and gold from among the treasures of the Lord's temple and his own palace. He sent it to Ben Hey, Dad, Ben, Hey, Dad was king of Aram. He was ruling in Damascus. Let's make a peace treaty between us. Asa said my father and your father had made a peace treaty between them. Now I'm sending you silver and gold. So break your treaty with Baisha the king of Israel then he'll go back home. Then hey dad agreed with King ASA. He sent his army commanders against the towns of Israel. His army captured I John Dan, able man and all the cities in NAFTA ally were Basha stored things. They Usher heard about it so he stopped building up Rhema and left that place. Then King ASA brought all the men of Judah to Rhema they carried away the stones and wood Bay Usha had been using as a use them to build up Kiba in Mizpah. At that time, Hanina the Prophet came to Asa, the king of Judah. He said to him, You trusted the king of Aram, you didn't trust in the Lord your God. So the army of the king of Aram has escaped from you. The people of Kush and Libya had a strong army. They had large numbers of chariots and horsemen, but you trusted in the Lord. So he handed them over to you and the Lord looks out over the whole earth. He gives strength to those who commit their lives completely to Him. You have done a foolish thing from now on, you will be at war. Asa was angry with the Prophet because of what he had said. In fact, he was so angry, he put him in prison at that same time as he treated some of his own people very badly. The events of ACEs rule from beginning to end are written down. They are written in the records of the kings of Judah and Israel. In the 39th year of ACEs rule, his feet began to hurt. The pain was terrible. But even though he was suffering, he didn't look to the Lord for help. All he did was go to the doctors. In the 41st year of ACEs rule, he joined the members of his family who had already died.
