Summary
In these chapters, we read about the reigns of four kings who were descendants of David. Their faithfulness to God varied, reminding us that being raised in a believing family doesn't guarantee the same faith for the next generation. As parents, we must actively show our children the importance of faith and let them choose for themselves. Pride led to the downfall of some kings. Pride can affect anyone, regardless of age or devotion to God. The key is to constantly rely on Jesus and not on our own abilities. One king, Jotham, stood out for his lifelong devotion to God.

His mother's name was Jehovah din of Jerusalem. and he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart. Now it happened as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father, the king. However, he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers, but a person shall die for his own sin. Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of 1000s, and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers houses throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and he numbered them from 20 years old and above, and found them to be 300,000 Choice men able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield. He also hired 100,000, mighty men of valor from Israel for 100 talents of silver. But a man of God came to him saying, Oh, King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel, not with any of the children of Africa, him. But if you go, be gone, be strong and battle, even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy, for God has power to help and to overthrow, then Amazon has said to the man of God, but what shall we do about the 100 talents, which I've given to the troops of Israel, and the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give you much more than this. So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from F freedom to go back home. Therefore, their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
