About this episode
In our last reading, we left off with two kings, King Baasha, who has just become king over Israel, and king Asa, who has ruled over Judah for three years at the time of Baasha’s ascension to the throne. Baasha became king by force, killing Jeroboam’s son Nadab as well as the rest of Jeroboam’s family. Take note of the rotating door of kings who rule over Israel, leading up to King Ahab, who is incredibly wicked. Not only that, you’ll also notice how long Asa rules in faithfulness to the Lord while Israel’s kings come and go. Later in 2 Chronicles, we’ll hear the account of Baasha declaring war against Asa, who fails to trust in the Lord, and calls upon the king of Aram instead.
