The history of God’s people, under their various kings, is like a
rollercoaster. There are high-points - “They would be the Lord’s
people” (2 Kings 11:17). These high-points are often followed by
low-points - “Joash did what the Lord considered right ...but the
illegal places of worship weren’t torn down” (2 Kings 12:2-3). The reign
of Jehoahaz was one of decline - “He did what the Lord considered
evil” (2 Kings 13:2). The decline continued under the reign of Jehoash -
“He did what the Lord considered evil” (2 Kings 13:11). Despite all
the sins of the kings, there was still hope. This hope did not come
from the kings. It came from the Lord: “The Lord was kind and merciful
to the Israelites because of His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”
(2 Kings 13:23).
