2 Chronicles 22-24

It took me about 15 minutes to read the stories about kings Ahaziah and Joash. Ahaziah learned from his father how to do evil. Fortunatley for Joash he never learned from his father. God did not permit Ahaziah to continue ruling Judah. But 2 year old Joash wasn't ready to rule. After 5 years Jehoiada, Joash's surrogate father, proclaimed Joash as king of Judah. Jehoiada was a positive influence on Joash. But Joash only learned to respect Jehoiada and not the God he served.
