ISRAEL'S POSTEXILIC HISTORY--LESSON 20 NOTES, PART 1

LESSON 20: Jehoshaphat and Ahab—war with Moab and Ammon (2 CHR. 18-20)

CHAPTER 18

Jehoshaphat’s relation with the northern kingdom was not entered into with a view to weakening the southern kingdom. The king of Judah probably wanted to share some of the prosperity of his kingdom with Ahab. Jehoshaphat’s reign extended over a period of twenty five years. His peaceful overtures toward the northern kingdom probably came during the first half of his reign. The “affinity” with Ahab was effected in the marriage of Jehoshaphat’s son, Jehoram, with Athaliah, daughter of Ahab.[1]

ISRAEL'S POSTEXILIC HISTORY--LESSON 19 NOTES

LESSON 19: Asa, the reformer; Hanani, the man of God; and the Life and Times of Jehoshaphat (2 CHR. 15-17)

CHAPTER 15

Azariah, son of Oded, appears on the scene to bring the word of Jehovah to Asa… The name “Azariah” means “Jehovah is keeper.” The prophet addressed his words specifically to Judah and Benjamin. The northern kingdom is called “Israel” in verse 3. Asa’s only hope was to trust Jehovah. He must go with God. He must seek the Lord. The alternative carried with it some terrible consequences. If Jehovah’s people are unfaithful, He will forsake them.[1]
