Following the death of the evil king, Ahab, things changed. The new
king, Jehoshaphat, was a different kind of man - “Jehoshaphat did what
the Lord considered right” (1 Kings 22:43). Sadly, things took a turn
for the worse after Jehoshaphat died: “Ahaziah ... Did what the Lord
considered evil .... Ahaziah served Baal, worshipped him, and made the
Lord God of Israel furious ...” (1 Kings 22:51-53). In all the changing
circumstances of our lives, we must remember that the Lord is King. We
are not to put our trust in kings. There are good kings. There are bad
kings. There is only one true King. There is only One who is King over
all. The Lord is the King of kings. This is the thought which we must
take with us as we move on from 1 Kings to 2 Kings. The Lord is King. No
human king can even begin to compare with the Lord, who is King over
all.
