2 Chronicles 34-36

It took me about 12 minutes to read this passage. I wonder what kind of king Jehoahaz would have been? In 2 Kings 23 he is noted as an evil king rejecting the God of his father. The writer of the Chronicles doesn't note any of this; he only states that Jehoahaz was removed by the king of Egypt. His brother, uncle, and cousin who served after him were just as bad. None of them shared Josiah's fear and respect for God and his law, none of them sought his favor or repented of their sinfulness. They left the God of justice no choice but to act in vengence. Likewise we cannot reject God's rule over our lives and expect to receive his favor.
