March 23, 2025, 2 Kings 18:9-12 9  In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it,  10  and at the end of three years he took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.  11  The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,  12  because they did not obey the voice of the  Lord  their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the  Lord  commanded. They neither listened nor obeyed. Again we see lack of obedience has caused the Israelites to continue to suffer. God calls us to be obedient. They neither listened nor obeyed. Where are you and I in our obedience to God? I would like to think I don’t strug...

March 22, 2025, 2 Kings 18:1-8 18  In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.  2  He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.  3  And he did what was right in the eyes of the  Lord , according to all that David his father had done.  4  He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was called Nehushtan).  5  He trusted in the  Lord , the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him.  6  For he held fast to the  Lord . He did not depart from following him, but kept the...

March 21, 2025, 2 Kings 17:29-41 29  But every nation still made gods of its own and put them in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they lived.  30  The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,  31  and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.  32  They also feared the  Lord  and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.  33  So they feared the  Lord  but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. 34  To this day they do according to the former manner. They do not fear the  Lord , and they do not follow...

March 20, 2025, 2 Kings 17:24-28 24  And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the people of Israel. And they took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities.  25  And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the  Lord . Therefore the  Lord  sent lions among them, which killed some of them.  26  So the king of Assyria was told, “The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land.”  27  Then the king of Assyria commanded, “Send there one of the priests whom you carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the god of the land.”  28  So one of the prie...

March 19, 2025, 2 Kings 17:17-23 19  Judah also did not keep the commandments of the  Lord  their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced.  20  And the  Lord  rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight. 21  When he had torn Israel from the house of David, they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the  Lord  and made them commit great sin.  22  The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them,  23  until the  Lord  removed Israel out of his sight, as he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day. Why would God eventually remove his people from their land and ultimately from His sight? I do not have an answer to that qu...

March 18, 2025, 2 Kings 17:7-18 7  And this occurred because the people of Israel had sinned against the  Lord  their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods  8  and walked in the customs of the nations whom the  Lord  drove out before the people of Israel, and in the customs that the kings of Israel had practiced.  9  And the people of Israel did secretly against the  Lord  their God things that were not right. They built for themselves high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city.  10  They set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,  11  and there they made offerings on all the high places, as the nations did whom the  Lord  carried away before them. And they did wicked things, provoking the  Lord  to anger,  12...

March 17, 2025, 2 Kings 17:1-6 17  In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, and he reigned nine years.  2  And he did what was evil in the sight of the  Lord , yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.  3  Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria. And Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.  4  But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.  5  Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it. 6  In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria, and he carried the Israelites away to Assyria and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan...
