GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Chronicles - Part 24

2 Chronicles 28:5-6

    Therefore the LORD his God delivered him (Ahaz) into the hands of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and took many of his people as prisoners and brought them to Damascus.

    He was also given into the hands of the king of Israel, who inflicted heavy casualties on him. In one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers in Jerusalem--because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their ancestors.

 

2 Chronicles 28:9-11  

    But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, "Because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches to heaven. And now you intend to make the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves. But aren't you also guilty of sins against the LORD your God? Now listen to me! Send back your fellow Israelites you have taken as prisoners, for the LORD's fierce anger rests on you."

 

2 Chronicles 28:24-25    

     Ahaz gathered together the furnishings from the temple of God and cut them in pieces. He shut the doors of the LORD's temple and set up altars at every street corner in Jerusalem. In every town in Judah he built high places to burn sacrifices to other gods and aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of his ancestors.

(see all 2 Chronicles 28)

 

2 Chronicles 29:4-7  

    He (Hezekiah) brought in the priests and the Levites, assembled them in the square on the east side and said, "Listen to me, Levites! Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the temple of the LORD, the God of your ancestors. Remove all defilement from the sanctuary. Our parents were unfaithful; they did evil in the eyes of the LORD our God and forsook him. They turned their faces away from the LORD's dwelling place and turned their backs on him. They also shut the doors and portico and put out the lamps. They did not burn incense or present any burnt offerings at the sanctuary to the God of Israel."

 

2 Chronicles 29:10  

"Now I intend to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will turn away from us."

(see all 2 Chronicles 29)
