Kings of Israel and Judah

Lesson Summary

This week we did a quick survey of some of the kings of Israel and Judah. Each kingdom was ruled by a series of kings (19 in Israel, 20 in Judah), most of whom led their people away from the Lord and into idolatry.

Ultimately, the failure of the evil kings came down to a matter of worship. They chose to worship false gods rather than the one true God. With their influence, they led many people astray and brought destruction to the kingdoms they ruled over (which we will study later). However, the Scriptures affirm that a few kings in Judah "did what was right in the eyes of the LORD." One of them was King Asa, the third king

of Judah.

Asa had a long reign over Judah-41 years. He started off well, but in his older years, it seemed he turned from God. His life is a lesson for us in trusting God, worshipping him alone, and persevering m our faith.
