    Day 180, 29 June 2026

    1) 2 Chronicles 19,20,21,22

    2 Chronicles 19

    1 But Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his palace in Jerusalem in peace.
    2 (1Ki 16:1; 2Ch 16:7) And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and he said to King Jehoshaphat, "How do you help those who are wicked
    and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.
    3 (2Ch 12:12; 1Ki 14:13) However, some good things are found in you for you swept away the Asherah poles from the land,
    and you set your heart to seek after God."

    [1] And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
    [2] And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to
    king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate
    the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
    [3] Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast
    taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

    The Reforms of Jehoshaphat

    4 (2Ch 15:8-13) Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, but he went out
    among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim,
    and he brought them back to the Lord God of their fathers.
    5 (Dt 16:18-20) And he set judges in the land among
    all the fortified cities of Judah, one by one.
    6 (Dt 1:17) And he said to the judges, "Consider carefully what you do
    because you do not judge according to man but the Lord, a
    nd He is with you in the matter of judgment.
    7 (Ge 18:25; Dt 32:4) So now may the fear of the Lord be on you.
    Consider and act well because there is no injustice, partiality,
    or bribe taking with the Lord our God."
    8 (2Ch 17:8-9) Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem
    some from the Levites and the priests and some from the heads of the families of Israel, in order to render judgment and decide disputes before the Lord;
    and they lived in Jerusalem.
    9 (2Sa 23:3) And he commanded them, "So you will act in the fear of the Lord, in honesty, and with a complete heart.
    10 (Dt 17:8-13) And any dispute that comes before you all from your brothers who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed or offenses against law
    or commandment, against statutes or judgments, you will warn them,
    lest they trespass against the Lord and wrath come upon you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not trespass.
    11 (1Ch 26:30; 2Ch 19:8) "Note that Amariah the chief priest is over you
    in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael,
    the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters;
    also, the Levites will be officials before you.
    Deal courageously, and the Lord will be with the good."

    [4] And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.
    [5] And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
    [6] And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man,
    but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
    [7] Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
    [8] Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
    [9] And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
    [10] And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the
    LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye
    shall not trespass.
    [11] And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for
    all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.

    2 Chronicles 20:1-30

    2 Chronicles 20

    Jehoshaphat Defeats Moab and Ammon

    1 After that, the Moabites and the Ammonites, together with some Meunites,
    [Or Abi in 2Ki 18:2.] came against Jehoshaphat for battle.
    2 (Ge 14:7; 1Sa 23:29) And some came and declared this to Jehoshaphat,
    "A large multitude is coming against you from across the Dead Sea f
    rom Edom; and observe, they are in Hazezon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi).
    3 (2Ch 19:3; 1Sa 7:6) Then Jehoshaphat was fearful and set himself to seek
    the Lord, and he called for a fast throughout all Judah.
    4 And Judah was assembled to seek the Lord; even from all the cities of Judah, they came to obtain aid from the Lord.
    5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Judah
    and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new courtyard,
    6 (1Ch 29:11-12; Dt 4:39; Da 4:17) and he said:
    "O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens?
    And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations?
    In Your hand are strength and might, and there is no one who can oppose You.
    7 (Isa 41:8; Jas 2:23) Did You not, our God, drive out those who lived
    in this land before Your people Israel, and You gave it perpetually
    to the descendants of Abraham, who was in covenant love with You.
    8 And they have dwelled in it and have built in it for You a sanctuary
    for Your name saying,
    9 (2Ch 6:20; 6:28-30) 'If disaster comes upon us, the sword, or judgment,
    or pestilence, or famine, then we will stand before this temple
    and before You because Your name is in this temple.
    And we will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and deliver.'
    10 (Nu 20:17-21; Dt 2:4-5) "Now here are the sons of Ammon and Moab
    and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came
    out of the land of Egypt, when they turned away from them
    and did not destroy them.
    11 (Ps 83:3-12) See how they are rewarding us by coming to drive us out
    of Your possession, which You have given us to inherit.
    12 (Ps 25:15; Jdg 11:27) O our God, will You not render judgment on them?
    For we have not strength enough to stand before this great army that is
    coming against us. And we do not know what we should do,
    but our eyes are on You."
    13 Now all of Judah was standing before the Lord,
    even their infants, wives, and children.
    14 (2Ch 15:1; 24:20) And in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from the line of Asaph.
    15 (1Sa 17:47; 2Ch 32:7-8) And he said, "Pay attention all Judah,
    and those dwelling in Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat:
    Thus says the Lord to you, 'Do not fear, nor be dismayed
    because of this great army, for the battle is not yours, but God's.
    16 Tomorrow, go down against them. They will travel up by the Ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the back of the valley, before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 (2Ch 15:2; Ex 14:13-14) It will not be necessary for you to fight
    in this conflict. Take your positions, stand, and observe the deliverance
    of the Lord for you, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be filled
    with terror. Tomorrow, go out before them, and the Lord will be with you."
    18 (Ex 4:31) Then Jehoshaphat bowed his face to the ground, and all Judah
    and those dwelling in Jerusalem fell before the Lord to worship Him.
    19 And the Levites from the descendants of the Kohathites and Korahites
    rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a very loud voice.
    20 (Isa 7:9; 2Sa 14:2) So they rose up early in the morning and went out
    to the Wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood
    and said, "Listen to me, Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem.
    Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be supported.
    Believe His prophets, and you will succeed."
    21 (1Ch 16:29; 16:34) And he consulted with the people and then appointed singers for the Lord and those praising Him in holy attire as they went
    before those equipped for battle saying,
    "Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever."
    22 (Jdg 7:22; 2Ch 13:13) When they began singing and praising, the Lord set ambushes against Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah;
    so they were defeated.
    23 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) Then the Ammonites and Moabites stood up against
    those dwelling from Mount Seir to destroy and finish them. Then when they made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, each man attacked his companion
    to destroy each other.
    24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, and they turned
    to the vast army and saw only corpses lying on the ground.
    And no one was spared.
    25 Then Jehoshaphat and his people came to gather their plunder,
    and they found among them an abundance of riches with the corpses,
    and precious jewelry, which they took for themselves, more than they
    could carry. They were gathering the plunder for three days
    because there was so much to carry.
    26 On the fourth day they gathered at the Valley of Berakah,
    because there they blessed the Lord. For this reason people have called
    the name of this place the Valley of Berakah until this day.
    27 (Ne 12:43) Then they all returned, every man from Judah and Jerusalem,
    with Jehoshaphat as their head, to Jerusalem with joy because the Lord made them rejoice because of the death of their enemies.
    28 So they entered Jerusalem with harps, lyres,
    and trumpets to the house of the Lord.
    29 (2Ch 17:10; Ge 35:5) And it happened that the terror of God was on
    all the kingdoms of the lands who heard that the Lord had fought
    against the enemies of Israel.
    30 (2Ch 14:6-7; 15:15) So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet,
    because his God gave him rest on all sides.

    2 Chronicles 20
    [1] It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
    [2] Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.
    [3] And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and
    proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
    [4] And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even
    out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
    [5] And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in
    the house of the LORD, before the new court,
    [6] And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and
    rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
    [7] Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend
    for ever?
    [8] And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
    [9] If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and
    help.
    [10] And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom
    thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of
    Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
    [11] Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
    [12] O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our
    eyes are upon thee.
    [13] And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their
    wives, and their children.
    [14] Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit
    of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
    [15] And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,
    and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
    [16] To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness
    of Jeruel.
    [17] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye
    still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem:
    fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will
    be with you.
    [18] And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all
    Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping
    the LORD.
    [19] And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children
    of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud
    voice on high.
    [20] And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness
    of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O
    Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so
    shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
    [21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto
    the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for
    ever.
    [22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come
    against
    Judah; and they were smitten.
    [23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end
    of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
    [24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they
    looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
    [25] And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of
    them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies,
    and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was
    so much.
    [26] And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of
    Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same
    place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
    [27] Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat
    in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD
    had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
    [28] And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto
    the house of the LORD.
    [29] And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when
    they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
    [30] So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

    2 Chronicles 20:31-37

    The End of Jehoshaphat's Reign
    1Ki 22:41-50

    31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was 35 years old when he began
    his reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-five years.
    The name of his mother was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
    32 He walked in the way of his father Asa, and he did not turn aside
    from doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord.
    33 (2Ch 17:6; 19:3) Only the high places were not taken down.
    The people had yet to set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
    34 (1Ki 16:1; 2Ch 19:2) And the remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat,
    from beginning to end, are written in the annals of Jehu son of Hanani,
    which are taken up in the book of the kings of Israel.
    35 (1Ki 22:48-49) Also, Jehoshaphat king of Judah was united
    with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
    36 Jehoshaphat joined with him to make ships to travel to Tarshish,
    and they made ships in Ezion Geber.
    37 (Pr 13:20; 2Ch 9:21) And Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah
    prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have joined with Ahaziah, the Lord will tear down your works."
    So the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to journey to Tarshish.

    [31] And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old
    when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem.
    And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
    [32] And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
    [33] Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had
    not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
    [34] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they
    are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the
    book of the kings of Israel.
    [35] And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
    [36] And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and
    they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
    [37] Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to
    go to Tarshish.

    1 Kings 22:50

    50 (2Ch 21:1) Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers
    and was buried with his fathers
    in the City of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

    [50] And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
    fathers
    in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

    2 Chronicles 21:1-4

    2 Chronicles 21

    1 (1Ki 22:50) So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with them
    in the City of David, and Jehoram his son ruled in his place.
    2 (2Ch 12:6; 23:2) And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah.
    3 (2Ch 11:23) And their father gave them great gifts of silver, gold,
    and excellent items, along with fortified cities in Judah,
    but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.

    [1] Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers
    in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
    [2] And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons
    of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
    [3] And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.

    Jehoram, King of Judah

    2 Ki 8:16-24

    4 (Jdg 9:5; Ge 4:8) Then Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father
    and he became strong. And he killed all his brothers with the sword
    and even some of the officials in Israel.

    [4] Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he
    strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers
    also of the princes of Israel.

    2 Chronicles 21:5-7

    5 Now Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began as king,
    and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
    6 (2Ch 18:1; 1Ki 12:28-30) And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel
    as those from the house of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab
    was the wife of Jehoram. And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
    7 (1Ki 11:36; 2Sa 7:12-17) But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house
    of David because of the covenant that He made with David, and because
    He said that He would give a lamp to David and his sons for all days.

    [5] Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he
    reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
    [6] And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house
    of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which
    was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
    [7] Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to
    him and to his sons for ever.

    2 Chronicles 21:8-20

    8 In the days of Jehoram, Edom revolted from being under the hand of Judah,
    and they set a king for themselves.
    9 So Jehoram passed over to the Edomite territory with his commanders
    and all his chariots, and it happened that he rose up at night
    and struck the Edomites, who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.
    10 So Edom revolted from being under the hand of Judah until this day.
    At that time Libnah also revolted from being under their rule, because Jehoram had abandoned the Lord God of his fathers.
    11 (Lev 20:5; 17:7) He even made high places in the hill country of Judah a
    nd caused those in Jerusalem to be like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray. 12 (2Ch 14:2-5; 17:3-4) And a letter came to him
    from Elijah the prophet, saying,
    "Thus says the Lord God of David your father: Because you have not walked
    in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
    13 (2Ch 21:4; 21:11) but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel,
    and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom,
    as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also have killed
    your brothers, those of your father's house, who were better than you,
    14 the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children,
    your wives, and all your possessions;
    15 (2Ch 21:18-19) and you will have great sickness with a disease
    of your intestines, until your intestines come out because of the disease,
    day by day."
    16 (2Ch 17:11; 1Ki 11:14) Then the Lord stirred up the spirit
    of the Philistines against Jehoram and also the Arabians who were
    near the Cushites.
    17 (2Ch 22:1; 22:6; 25:23) And they went up against Judah and broke through, and they took every possession found in the palace of the king,
    even his sons and wives, so that no son was left with him
    except his youngest Ahaziah.

    [8] In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
    [9] Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and
    the captains of the chariots.
    [10] So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day.
    The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
    [11] Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto. [12] And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
    [13] But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah
    and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of
    the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:
    [14] Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
    [15] And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
    [16] Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
    [17] And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all
    the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest
    of his sons.

    The Death of Jehoram

    18 (2Ch 21:15) And after all this, the Lord struck him in his entrails
    with an incurable disease.
    19 (2Ch 16:14) And it happened after many days, at the end of two years,
    his entrails came out due to his disease, so he died by a despicable disease. And his people did not make for him a memorial fire like the fire
    for his fathers.
    20 (Jer 22:18; 22:2) 8He was thirty-two when he began to reign,
    and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

    [18] And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
    [19] And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two
    years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
    [20] Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned
    in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

    2 Chronicles 22:1-7

    2 Chronicles 22

    Ahaziah, King of Judah

    2Ki 8:25-29; 9:21-29

    1 (2Ch 21:16-17; 2Ki 8:24-29) Then those in Jerusalem made Ahaziah,
    the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place because the raiding party,
    those coming with the Arabians to the camp, killed all the older sons.
    So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram reigned in Jerusalem.
    2 (2Ki 8:26; 2Ch 21:6) Now Ahaziah was 42 years [2Ki 8:26 reads t22 years.]
    old when he began to reign, but he only reigned one year in Jerusalem.
    The name of his mother was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.
    3 And he also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab
    because his mother was the one counseling him to do evil.
    4 (Pr 13:20) And he also did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord,
    like the house of Ahab, for they served as his counselors
    after his father Jehoram died, which led to his destruction.
    5 Even Ahaziah walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram
    the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram
    at Ramoth Gilead. And the Arameans wounded Joram,
    6 (2Ki 9:15) and the king returned to Jezreel to heal from the wounds
    that he sustained in Ramah where he fought against Hazael king of Aram.
    Then Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram
    the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was wounded.
    7 (2Ki 9:21; 2Ch 10:15) And it was from God that a downfall would happen
    to Ahaziah in regard to his visit with Joram. And when he arrived he went
    out with Joram to see Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord anointed
    to cut off the house of Ahab.

    [1] And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in
    his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
    [2] Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he
    reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the
    daughter of Omri.
    [3] He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counseller to do wickedly.
    [4] Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab:
    for they were his counsellers after the death of his father to his
    destruction.
    [5] He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of
    Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead:
    and the Syrians smote Joram.
    [6] And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah
    the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of
    Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
    [7] And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when
    he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom
    the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

    2 Chronicles 22:8-9

    8 And it happened that when Jehu was acting in judgment
    with the house of Ahab that he found the rulers of Judah
    and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were serving Ahaziah,
    and Jehu killed them.
    9 He sought out Ahaziah, and they captured him while he hid in Samaria,
    and they brought him to Jehu, and they put him to death.
    And they buried him because they said,
    "He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat who sought the Lord with all his heart."
    And there was no one from the house of Ahaziah strong enough
    to retain the kingdom.

    [8] And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the
    house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren
    of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
    [9] And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in
    Samaria,)
    and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him:
    Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with
    all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the
    kingdom.

    2 Chronicles 22:10-12

    Athaliah Seizes the Throne

    2Ki 11:1-21

    10 So when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead,
    she rose up and mounted a campaign to destroy all the royal offspring
    of the house of Judah.
    11 But Jehoshabeath,Jehosheba in [2Ki 11:2.] the daughter of the king,
    took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from the king's sons
    who were going to be put to death, and she placed him and his nurse
    in a bed chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram
    and wife of Jehoiada the priest (since she was a sister of Ahaziah),
    hid Joash from Athaliah. And she did not put the royal child to death.
    12 And he was hidden away with them in the house of God for six years.
    And Athaliah ruled over the land.

    [10] But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
    [11] But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of
    Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put
    him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of
    Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
    [12] And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

    2 Chronicles 23:1-11

    2 Chronicles 23

    Joash, King of Judah

    1 Then in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself
    and made a covenant with the commanders over hundreds:
    Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan,
    Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat
    the son of Zikri.
    2 (2Ch 11:13-17) And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites
    from all the cities of Judah and even the heads of the fathers' houses
    in Israel. Then they all came to Jerusalem.
    3 (2Sa 7:12; 2Ch 6:16) So the whole assembly made a covenant with the king
    in the house of God, and Jehoiada said to them,
    "The king's son will reign, as the Lord has said of the sons of David.
    4 And this is the thing that you all will do: A third of you all from
    the priests and Levites who come on the Sabbath will be gatekeepers,
    5 1/3rd will be at the palace of the king and another third
    at the Foundation Gate. And all the people will be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
    6 (1Ch 23:28-32) And may no one enter the house of the Lord
    except the priests and those Levites who are serving. Those can enter
    because they are holy, but all the people will keep their assigned
    duty of the Lord.
    7 Then the Levites will surround the king, each man with his weapon
    in his hand, and whoever enters the house will be put to death.
    They will be with the king when he enters and leaves."
    8 (2Ki 11:9; 1Ch 24:1-26) The Levites and all Judah did everything
    that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each brought his men,
    who were to come on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were
    to go off duty on the Sabbath, because Jehoiada the priest did not
    dismiss the divisions.
    9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds
    the spears and the large and small shields which had been King David's,
    which were in the house of God.
    10 Then he set all the people around the king,
    each man with his weapon in hand, from the south side to the north side
    of the temple, from the altar to the temple.
    11 (1Sa 10:24; Ex 25:16) Then they brought out the son of the king
    and set on him the crown and the testimony and they proclaimed him as king.
    So Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, "Long live the king!"

    [1] And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
    [2] And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
    [3] And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of
    God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
    [4] This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
    [5] And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the
    gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the
    house of the LORD.
    [6] But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all
    the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
    [7] And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be
    put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth
    out.
    [8] So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada
    the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
    [9] Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds
    spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
    [10] And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand,
    from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by
    the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
    [11] Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and
    gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons
    anointed him, and said, God save the king.

    <a href="https://odb.org/2026/06/29/the-substitute">
    Jesus - Our Substitute </a> By John Blase

    Hebrews 10:1-10

    1 (Heb 8:5; 9:11) For the law is a shadow of the good things to come,
    and not the very image of those things. It could never by the same sacrifices, which they offer continually year after year, perfect those who draw near.
    2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshippers, once purified, would no longer be conscious of sins?
    3 (Heb 9:7) But in those sacrifices there is an annual reminder of sins.
    4 (Heb 10:11) For it is not possible for the blood of bulls
    and goats to take away sins.
    5 (Heb 1:6; Ge 3:15) Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifices and offerings You did not desire,
    but a body You have prepared for Me.
    6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
    You have had no pleasure.
    7 (Ge 3:15) Then I said, 'See, I have come to do Your will, O God,'
    as it is written of Me
    in the volume of the book."
    8 (Heb 10:5) Previously when He said, "You did not desire sacrifices
    and offerings. You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings
    and sacrifices for sin,"(Ps 40:6.) which are offered in accordance
    with the law,
    9 (Heb 10:7) then He said, "See, I have come to do Your will, O God."
    (Ps 40:8.) He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
    10 (Jn 17:19; Heb 2:11) By this will we have been sanctified through
    the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    [1] For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very
    image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year
    by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
    [2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
    [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
    [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
    [5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and
    offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
    [6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
    [7] Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)
    to do thy will, O God.
    [8] Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
    offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which
    are offered by the law;
    [9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the
    first, that he may establish the second.
    [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    As the US Civil War (1861-65) dragged on, both sides resorted to conscription (the draft) to fill their ranks. Under the Confederate law, a draftee could dodge service by hiring a man who was exempt from the draft to replace
    him - in most cases someone under or over the conscription age. Generally,
    the "principal" (as one evading the draft was called) paid a fee to the government as well as a large sum to his substitute. Only the wealthy
    could afford substitutes.

    The apostle Paul writes of the cosmic spiritual war, where "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) and "the wages of sin
    is death" (6:23). There was no clause or loophole that gave those
    with "means" some way out. But what about a substitute for us all? The writer to the Hebrews praises God, who in His infinite mercy sent Jesus to be our substitute - to bear the punishment our sin deserved, to pay our debt by sacrificing "the body of Jesus Christ once for all" so that we would be "made holy" through His substitutionary sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10). We have "died
    with Christ," and one day "we will also live with him" (Romans 6:8).

    That's the good news right there. Christ died for you and for me;
    the substitute took our place. We're now more than simply survivors
    of the war. We've become the sons and daughters of God.

    Reflect & Pray

    How does it make you feel to realize that Jesus died in your place?
    How might you explain this good news to a friend?

    Dear Jesus, I praise You for being my substitute
    and securing for me life eternal.

    Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 2 - Earning Death

    Romans 6:23

    23 (Ro 5:12; Ge 2:17; Ro 2:7) For the wages of sin is death,
    but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
    life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    "I only want my rights," declares the belligerent Big Ghost, one of the characters in C. S. Lewis's classic, The Great Divorce. "I'm not asking
    for anybody's bleeding charity."
    "Then do. At once," his angelic friend Len urges. "Ask for the Bleeding Charity. Everything is here for the asking and nothing can be bought."
    Often we are much like the Ghost in Lewis's tale of heaven and hell.
    We want "What we deserve," and being blind to our own sin, we think
    we deserve praise, or al least mercy. But Paul is very clear on what
    we have coming: "The wages of sin is death".
    We work for our wages - we've earned our paycheque, and we deserve it.
    We don't have to thank anyone for paying us - it's our due, not a gift. Similarly, the paycheque issued to us in renumeration for our sin is
    what we deserve: death.
    Yet, if we are willing to lay aside our pride and accept God's gift,
    we can live. "The gift of God is eternal life." Nothing we can do or say
    can make us worthy of the gift of life. We are sinners by nature and we
    rebel against God in our choices. Yet God, in Christ, offers grace to us, freedom from sin, liberty from the burden of trying to earn his favour. Ironically, freedom and peace in the Christian life come not through
    justifying ourselves and making ourselves look good, but through
    acknowledging the depth of our sin ad our ability to do anything about it.
    When we realise that we are trapped in out sinful selves and only
    Christ can free us, then we are ready to journey toward grace and freedom.

    Application

    a) In what way's have I tried to "earn" the gift of eternal life?

    b) What can I do to focus on God's grace and realise
    that I cannot accomplish my own salvation?

    6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)

    Quebec

    Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec

    Quebec 2015 population 8214 000

    est Muslim Population 418946

    CNMM Networks: Montreal

    There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
    of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
    of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.
    And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more
    Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.
    This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small
    by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
    is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now
    this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly
    or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,
    yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.
    Agree in prayer for :

    - The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
    - for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
    -for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting
    together for worship!
    - For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
    reaching Muslims in Quebec.

After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held.

    For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.

    You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
    which means Blessed Eid!"

    Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world:

    - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
    Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
    "that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
    your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
    18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
    I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
    19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

    Footnotes
    Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
    - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.
    - Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus. Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
    a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

    Ideas for prayer

    - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
    - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people -
    Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
    - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

    And

    Thank you for praying through the
    5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

    "My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
    I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
    cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

    Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
    and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
    love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
    One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
    light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

    As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
    to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

    Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
    Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
    to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

    I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs. God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
    and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

    13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
    and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
    through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
    ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

    ROMANS 15:13

    My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity (Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

    a) Pray that God will enlighten those in medicine and health care
    to acknowledge the sanctity of life and server with true
    integrity and compassion (

    Ps 139:13-16

    13 You brought my inner parts into being;
    You wove me in my mother|ore4raos womb.
    14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;
    marvelous are Your works,
    and You know me completely.
    15 My frame was not hidden from You
    when I was made in secret,
    and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
    16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
    yet in Your book
    all my days were written,
    before any of them came into being.

    13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
    Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
    14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
    Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
    15 My substance was not hid from thee,
    When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought
    in the lowest parts of the earth.
    16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
    And in thy book all my members were written,
    Which in continuance were fashioned,
    When as yet there was none of them.

    )

    b) Pray that the Church in Canada will remember the poor
    and compassionately respond to their plight (

    which I also was eager to do.

    10 Only they would that we should remember the poor;
