Teaching People the Law of Yahweh - 2 Chronicles 16-18

Asa Wars Against Baasha


Asa Imprisons a Seer

[7] Now at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, "Because you have leaned on the king of Aram and have not leaned on Yahweh your God, therefore the military force of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. [2Ch 16:7 LSB]

[9] "For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars." [2Ch 16:9 LSB]

[12] And Asa became diseased in his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek Yahweh, but the physicians. [2Ch 16:12 LSB]

Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah

[3] And Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the ways of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals, 
[4] but sought the God of his father, walked in His commandments, and did not act as Israel did. [2Ch 17:3-4 LSB]

[7] Then in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; 
[8] and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. 
[9] And they taught in Judah, [having] the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people. [2Ch 17:7-9 LSB]

Jehoshaphat Allies with Ahab

[1] Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself by marriage with Ahab. [2Ch 18:1 LSB]

Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab

[16] So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd; And Yahweh said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'" [2Ch 18:16 LSB]
