Lesson 12 12. Ahaz 13. Hezekiah Kings #12 - #13 of Judah 2 Kings 16 & 18 2 Chronicles 28-32 12. Ahaz 2 Kings 15:38-16:20, 2 Chronicles 28-32 Ahaz became the king of Judah during the 17th year of King Pekah of Israel’s reign. He was the son of Jotham and was 20 years old. He was the king of Judah for 16 years in Jerusalem. He was evil and worshipped the idols instead of God. There were battles as usual and God used some of them against King Ahaz for his encouragement of moral decline and his unfaithfulness to God. King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel went to Jerusalem and besieged King Ahaz but couldn’t overtake him. Ahab did lose Elath to King Rezin and the Edomites lived there. Ahaz sent gifts to the king of Assyria asking for help. The king of Assyria came and conquered. He took Damascus and killed King Rezin of Syria. King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet with King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria. He saw an altar there and sent the design and pattern to Urijah the priest. The priest made a replica of the altar and when Ahaz returned, he made offerings and sacrifices on it. He changed some of the other items in the temple for his idol worship and Urijah the priest obeyed King Ahaz and not God’s law. The more problems Ahaz had, the more unfaithful to God he became. The idols ruined King Ahaz and his people. He cut up the articles in the temple of God and shut the doors to the temple. He built altars in every corner of Jerusalem. Every city of Judah had places to burn incense to the idols. God was very angry. When Ahaz died, he was buried in Jerusalem but not in the tombs of the kings. His son Hezekiah became the next king.  13. Hezekiah 2 Kings 16:20, 18:1-20:21, 2 Chronicles 29-32 Hezekiah became the king of Judah during the 3rd year of King Hoshea of Israel. He was the son of Ahaz and became the king when he was 25 years old. He was the king of Judah for 29 years in Jerusalem. He was a good king and did what right in God’s sight. King Hezekiah removed the altars, broke the idols and cut down the wooden idols. He broke the bronze serpent that Moses made into pieces. He trusted in God. There wasn’t another king like him. He was faithful to God. He kept His commandments. God was with King Hezekiah and he prospered. He fought against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him. He was also victorious over the Philistines. During his first month as king, he cleaned out the temple and told the Levites that they were to prepare to do their jobs in the temple. They were going to follow God’s laws while he was the king! They cleaned the temple and gathered the necessary items for worship. King Hezekiah also sent out letters to invite everyone to come and celebrate the Passover. They also gathered together to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It was during the 4th year he was the king of Judah that the Israel kingdom was taken captive by the Assyrians. King Hoshea was the king of Israel at the time. During Hezekiah’s 14th year, King Sennacherib of Assyria took the fortified cities of Judah, Hezekiah sent the Assyrian king a message that he had done wrong and would pay whatever he was told. Hezekiah sent the requested gold and silver to the king of Assyria, which made him feel more pride and power. The king of Assyria sent a huge army to Hezekiah. Some of Hezekiah’s men went to speak with them and the Assyrians mocked them for staying faithful to God. “Did they think that God would save them? Why are you putting your trust in Him? Do you think you have power to win a battle over the Assyrians?” The Assyrians shouted for everyone to hear that God would deliver them into the Assyrians hands. The people didn’t respond to them. Hezekiah told the people to “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or dismayed! There are more of us and we have the Lord on our side!” When King Hezekiah heard about it, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth. He went into the temple and sent for Isaiah the prophet. Isaiah told Hezekiah to ignore what the Assyrians had said because they blasphemed God. They would hear a rumor and return home. The Assyrians returned home and when Hezekiah read the message informing him, he prayed and praised God. Hezekiah became sick and was close to dying. Isaiah the prophet went to see him. Isaiah told him to get things in order because he wasn’t going to live. Hezekiah turned to the wall and prayed to God. He reminded God that he had been faithful. He cried severely. Isaiah was leaving and was in the middle court when God spoke to him. He went back to Hezekiah and told him that God heard his prayer and had seen his tears. God said he would give him a longer life and would heal him. On the third day that he went to the temple, God would give him 15 more years. He would also be safe from the king of Assyria. Isaiah told him to take a lump of figs and lay it on the boil and he was cured. King Hezekiah had great wealth and honor. He had treasuries of silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and other desirable things. He had storehouses for grain, wine and oil. He had an abundance of livestock and sheep. Hezekiah built a pool and a tunnel to bring water into the west side of the city. He prospered in everything he did. When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the upper tombs of the kings and all the people honored him. His son Manasseh became the king.

Lesson 6 9. Ahaziah 10. Joram 11. Jehu Kings #9 - #11 of Israel 1 Kings 22:51-2 Kings 10 9. Ahaziah 1 Kings 22:51-2 Kings 1:18 Ahaziah is the son of Ahab and became the king of Israel in Samaria after Ahab died. He reigned for 2 years. King Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah. He was evil and followed his parents’ ways of worshipping Baal. Ahaziah was injured when he fell through the lattice of his upper room. He sent messengers to ask the idol Baal-Zebub if he would recover from his fall. But, God told Elijah to tell the messengers that he would surely die in the bed. Ahaziah sent a captain with 50 men to look for Elijah when he heard the news. Elijah was sitting on the top of a hill and the captain told Elijah that “Man of God, the king said to come down.” Elijah said if he is a man of God, let fire from heaven come down and consume him and his men. A fire came from heaven and consumed them! King Ahaziah sent another captain with 50 men. The same thing happened! The third time the king sent his captain and 50 men, the captain fell on his knees before Elijah and pleaded with him to spare his life and the other men. The angel of God told Elijah to go with the men and he would be safe. Elijah told Ahaziah that because he sent men to ask the idol Baal-Zebub about his injury. Did he think God wasn’t in Israel to ask? Because of this, he would die. Which he did and because he didn’t have a son; Jehoram (his brother) became the next king. 10. Joram 2 Kings 1:17, 2 Kings 3, 2 Kings 9:14-26 Joram is also called Jehoram. There was also a King Jehoram of Judah. This Jehoram was the son of Ahab and was a king for 12 years. He became the king of Israel in Samaria during King Jehoshaphat of Judah’s 18th year of reign. He was an evil king. He didn’t worship the idols that his parents did; but, he worshipped the golden calf like Jeroboam did. When King Ahab died, King Mesha of Moab rebelled against Israel. He was a sheep breeder and had been paying the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and 100,000 rams regularly. King Joram left Samaria and gathered the people. He said the king of Moab is rebelling and asked who would fight with him? He also sent a message to King Jehoshaphat of Judah asking him to fight with him. Jehoshaphat agreed and they met in the Wilderness of Edom. The king of Edom met there also. They traveled for 7 days and began to worry because there wasn’t any water. The kings went to see Elisha so he could ask God about their situation. Elisha said the only reason he would speak to them was because of Jehoshaphat that worships God. Otherwise, he would let them ask their idols that they worship! God told Elisha to make the valley full of ditches. God said you won’t see wind or rain; but the valley will be filled with water to drink. They will win the battle against Moab. They needed to attack every fortified city, cut down the good trees, stop the spring waters and ruin the good land with rocks. Suddenly the next morning, the land was filled with water. The Moabites looked out over the land, the sun was shining and it looked like blood to them. They thought there was a battle and everyone had died. They went down to the camp of Israel expecting to take the loot. The people of Israel attacked the Moabites and killed them. They did everything God told them to. Later, Elisha sent a servant to anoint Jehu to be the next king. He conspired against Joram. King Joram had been in a battle with the Syrians and was in Jezreel recovering from wounds. When Joram saw the men coming, he sent a horseman out to see if they came in peace. But the horseman stayed with Jehu. Finally, Joram had his chariot made ready and King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah went to meet with Jehu. Joram spoke with Jehu and when Joram turned around to talk to Ahaziah, Jehu drew back his bow and shot an arrow through his back and out of Joram’s heart. They put his body in the land that Ahab had stolen from Nathan. 11. Jehu 2 Kings 9-10 After Jehu became the king of Israel, he had all of Ahab’s sons (or princes totaled 70) killed. He even had Jezebel killed. He had everyone killed in Ahab’s house in Jezreel. Then he told all the people that he wanted to give a sacrifice to Baal. He wanted all the Baal worshippers to assemble with him for this. Everything was done to make this happen and he wanted everyone there. Jehu had 80 men on the outside and were told not to let anyone escape. Once the ceremony started, Jehu told his men to kill the people inside worshipping Baal. They went to the inner room and destroyed the pillars and temple of Baal and made it a garbage dump. But, Jehu still did not follow God’s laws. He worshipped the golden calves that Jeroboam had made. God was pleased that he destroyed Baal. But not happy that he worshipped the golden calves. So, God began to ‘cut off parts of Israel.’ They lost battles and they lost land. When Jehu died, his son Jehoahaz became the next king. Jehu was a king of Israel for 28 years. The application packs contain any extra posters, worksheets, maps, etc. specific for the king(s) listed.

The printables for David in this series are for an older age group than I usually post. Some of these lessons about David are not appropriate for early elementary. But David is a great study. It is worth your time to read the lesson and study the Bible scripture even if you are not teaching it. That being said, as you can see from the picture, there is a Q&A. This could be used with younger groups by using the answer sheet and just asking the questions for discussion. Each post in this series will have a maze and some type of puzzle and usually an additional application. When appropriate, there will be a map. (This is lesson 1 and can be used to review David; or as an introduction about David.) Each post has a lesson, visuals, Bible verse and printables. This would be a great series to use as an Interactive Notebook. (See a free video here.) You can print the worksheets you want to use at 75%. Or, print 2 to a page. This makes them small enough for the notebooks. You can use the Bible verse as an introduction to begin a new lesson in the notebook. 1. David the Shepherd 2. The people Want a King 3.
