Note: This covers the reading for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday
Much of these 16 chapters are a condensed repetition of 2 Kings 8 - 25. At the end of chapter 28, the succession of kings has devolved into the reign of Ahaz - one of the most wicked kings in Judah. A rebellious and God-denying kings, he encouraged pagan worship and repeatedly ignored the warnings of God's prophet and the spirit of the Lord. Chapter 20 introduces us to Hezekiah - one of the more notable kings of Judah, who was righteous but vain. The last good king was Josiah, but even he was headstrong and died as a results.
At the end of Chronicles the repetition of the exile and loss of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel are documented just as it was originally told in 2 Kings. God had to keep His Word and allow those who would not obey him to fall.
May God bless you and bless the reading of His Word.
