Ahab to Josiah and They Did Good in the Eyes of the Lord The history of the two kingdoms, Judah and Israel, is spotted with those kings who forget that they are in power by the grace of God and those kings who “do good in the eyes of the Lord” (The Holy Bible). Ahab initiates the down fall of the time of peace through his abandonment of the covenant. Josiah is the young king to regain favor with God and restore the convent between God and the people of Israel. Ahab, king of Israel, son of Omir and father of Athaliah marries Jezebel a Phoenician. She then convinces him to abandon the worship of his God for the worship of her gods. Then tainted by evil Ahab and Jezebel plan and kill a man for his processions. …show more content…
Jehoash followed in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord (2 Kings 13: 11, The Holy Bible). Amaziah tried to do what was right and succeeded but not as his father David had done. He was good just not good enough. Jeroboam the Second did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit (2 Kings 14: 24, The Holy Bible). Azariah king of Judah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done. Zechariah, Menahem, and Pekahiah all did evil eyes of the Lord. Israel and Judah are falling into war and on their way down the proverbial toilet was they have abandoned the covenant of God. Jotham did what was right, a small grace to Judah. Ahaz and Hoshea both did evil in the sight of the Lord. Ahaz going as far as sacrificing his own son to a false god of fire. “He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, following the detestable ways of the Israelites” (2 Kings 16:3, The Holy Bible). Hezekiah

    Bible 105-C05 Research Paper

    During the time of Samuel, Judges ruled the people in Israel. The Israelites said to Samuel, “ You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” (APA, NIV, 1 Samuel 8:5) They desire a king because they thought the other nations having a man, as a leader will help them win their fight battles. Having a king would allow them to be lazy, and have someone else make all the calls and take on the burden of responsibilities they would have to deal with. The Israelites did not trust God’s judgment after the countless times he has provided for them. They wanted to be just like the other nations not knowing what God had in store for them. God being a favorable God give them what they wanted.…

    Exegesis Judges 13 Essay Outline

    The Lord raised up a deliverer by the name of Othneil. (Caleb’s younger brother). Othneil Helped the Israelites rise up and overtake Cushan-Rishathaim. The Lord gave his people forty years of peace. But again the Israelites “Did evil in the eyes of the Lord”. Because of their sin, the Lord gave them over to Eglon, the king of Moab. Joining up with Eglon, the Amalakites, and Ammonites came and attacked Israel. The Israelites were subject to the King of Moab for eighteen years. Israel cried out and this time God sent Ehud, a left handed Benjaminite. Ehud made a double- edged sword and placed the sheath on his right thigh under his clothes. He went before Eglon and presented him with a gift. He then told the king of a secret message that he had for him. The king wanted to be alone. So when they were, Ehud drew his sword and drove it through the king’s stomach. He locked the doors as he let and had time to escape to Seirah, where he blew a trumpet and led the Israelites to the land God had given them. After this they struck down ten thousand Moabites. The land had peace for 80…

    Nehemiah the leader, started off as a simple boy who was born and raised in Jerusalem. He grew up in the city which provided a huge wall for shelter from the outside. This was their means to protect the city and keep anything dangerous or negative out. God took care of everyone within the city, but as time went on, they all began to grow very selfish and get comfortable in their ways. Once this epic change begins to happen, it became easy for enemies to break through the walls and tarnish the city he once grew up and loved so much.…

    Judaism Significant Person: Isaiah 20/20

    Isaiah’s contribution to the development and expression of Judaism was heavily influenced by the political and religious context of his time. In the midst of political and religious instability in Judah’s history, Isaiah, was a recognisable source of hope and guidance, and paved the way for the expression of modern Judaism. The evident political and religious instability, was to be vastly influenced by Isaiah’s works. Isaiah took an active role in the development and expression of Judaism in his time, through his influence in the guidance of the aristocracy, providing guidance even for the kings. “Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: Go and tell Hezekiah… ‘I have heard your prayers and seen your tears… I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria” (Isaiah 38:4-6) Isaiah, as the mediator between God and his people, forespoke guidance both politically and religiously, redirecting the Jews back to Mosaic Law. As a result, Isaiah instilled within the hearts of Jews faith in God, in a time of suffering and religious apathy.…

    Bible 105

    Samuel, a judge for Israel, saved them from the Philistines, and led them back to God. When Samuel grew old, the people did not want a new judge. The tribes of Israel had many problems working together. Each tribes had their own leader with different rules to follow. The people of Israel demanded a King to be like the other nations. Samuel attempted to answer the concerns of the people by appointing his sons to be judges over Israel, but the Elders was not happy with Samuel’s decision. His sons were not keeping God’s commandments and had none of Samuel characteristics. They were not a good candidate to be their leaders.…

    Ezra And Nehemah Analysis

    The response of Ezra and Nehemiah to the sins of the Hebrews is a blueprint of the actions of what a truly righteous person should do. Ezra, a scribe and priest, led the people of Israel back to Jerusalem after being in exile, learned that the nation of Israel, even the priests and the Levites had committed the sin of intermingling and intermarrying with pagans, which was in contrary to the laws given them by Moses. However, rather than leave them to their own devices and certain punishment from God, Ezra put himself in position to pray and intercede to God on behalf of those who had transgressed. He, while in the company of other elders, assumed the posture of penitent, identified with his fellow hebrews although he had not sinned and confessed before the Lord.…

    The Old Testament ending leaves the reader very unsatisfied as the resolution to much of the issues, suffering and discomfort of God’s people was not resolved. It is not until the death of Christ in the New Testament that the reader can understand the significance of God’s sovereignty in these times of seemingly unfulfilled promises. Most of the Old Testament covenants that remained unfulfilled or only partially fulfilled were those in regards to David. In the book of Jeremiah it is written: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely.” (23:5-6). David is promised that from his line a king will reign over all people. David is also promised that the Messiah would come from his line so it is understandable why the Jews living around Jesus were so shocked to discover that he would not be overthrowing…

    Jezebel was a Phoenician princess, a daughter of the king and queen of the rich coastal city-state of Sidon. Jezebel means “Where is the prince?’-The “prince” is the god Baal. Jezebels upbringing was from a well-cultured and luxurious environment. Her people, the Phoenicians were diverse and sophisticated. Her father was an absolute monarch and therefore Jezebel believed that might is right and that monarchs can govern as they wish. She was also trained to lead and command.
