Lesson 3 2. Nadab 3. Baasha 4. Elah 5. Zimri 6. Tibni 7. Omri Kings #2 - #7 of Israel 1 Kings 15:20-16:28 2. Nadab 1 Kings 15:25-32 The first king of Israel was Jeroboam and he was king for 22 years. After he died, his son Nadab became the king. It was the second year of King Asa of Judah. All we know about him is that he was the king of Israel for 2 years. He was evil and sinned like his father. He worshipped idols instead of God and the people followed his bad example. Nadab was killed during a siege at Gibbethon. The city was a Philistine city and Nadab and the men of Israel had laid siege. He was killed by Baasha. 3. Baasha 1 Kings 15:27-16:6 Baasha was the son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar. He had conspired against Nadab and killed him. Baasha self-appointed himself the king of Israel. It was during the third year of King Asa of Judah. He killed everyone in the house of Jeroboam. This was done according to God’s will because of Jeroboam’s sins. There always seemed to be a war between the kings of Israel and Judah. This was true of King Asa of Judah and King Baasha of Israel. Baasha was the king of Israel for 24 years. He was evil because he followed idols like Jeroboam and caused the people to sin by not worshipping God. 4. Elah 1 Kings 16:6-14 Elah was the next king of Israel. He was the son of Baasha and became king during the 26th year of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah for 2 years. Zimri was his servant and commander of half of his chariots. Zimri conspired against Elah. Elah was drinking and was getting drunk at his steward’s (Arza) house. Zimri struck Elah and killed him at Arza’s house. 5. Zimri 1 Kings 16:8-20 The wars between the kings of Judah and Israel continued and as soon as Zimri took the throne, he killed everyone in Baasha’s household. God was so angry at Baasha for his idol worship, He told Jehu the prophet and Zimri killed all the males in Baasha’s house. Zimri became king during the 27th year of King Asa’s reign of Judah. Zimri was a king for 7 days. The people were camped at Gibbethon which was a Philistine city. The people heard that Zimri had conspired and killed King Elah. The people of Israel made Omri the king. He was the commander of the army. They went to Tirzah and took it over. When Zimri saw the city was taken, he went into the citadel (stronghold or fortress) of the king’s house. He set the king’s house on fire and he burned up in the fire and died. He was evil in God’s sight because he worshipped the idols that Jeroboam had made and the people worshipped the idols also. 6. Tibni 1 Kings 16:16-28 The people had made Omri king of Israel in Gibbethon. But the people were divided. Half of the people followed Tibni who was the son of Ginath. The other half followed Omri. They became co-kings of Israel during the 27th year of reign of King Asa of Judah. The people that followed Omri conquered the people of Tibni though. When Tibni died in the 31st year of King Asa of Judah, Omri became sole king of Israel. In verse 25, we are told that Omri did evil in God’s eyes and ‘did worse than all those before him’. Tibni didn’t make any changes to remove idol worship and he didn’t follow God. It is also interesting to note that Tibni is not always considered a king according to some charts created. But note that in verse 21, we are told that half of the people made him king. In verse 22, it states ‘So Tibni died and Omri reigned.’ Omri didn’t [sole] reign until Tibni died. Tibni is listed first because Omri lived longer and the next king is listed after Omri in verse 28. 7. King Omri Omri was the king of Israel for 12 years. During six years of his reign, he was in Tirzah. Omri purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city in the hill and named it Samaria. He was evil in God’s sight and was worse than the other kings before him. He worshipped the idols that Jeroboam had built and the people followed him and worshipped the idols also. The kings set the example of idol worship and the people followed their example. This made God angry because they weren’t following Him. When Omri died, Ahab his son became the next king.

Lesson 14 16. Josiah King # 16 of Judah 2 Kings 22:1-23:30 2 Chronicles 34-35 Josiah was 8 years old when he became the king of Judah. He was the son of Amon and he reigned 31 years in Jerusalem. He followed God’s laws. During the 8th year of his reign, be began to seek the true God. He was still young and in his 12th year, he began to eliminate the idols, wood carvings and altars in Jerusalem and the land of Judah. During the 18th year of King Josiah’s reign, he sent Shaphan the scribe to the temple. Shaphan was to tell Hilkiah the high priest to count the money that the doorkeepers had been collecting from the people. The workers doing repairs on the temple were to be paid. While Shaphan was in the temple, Hilkiah told him that he had found the Book of the Law in the temple. He gave it to Shaphan and after he read it, he went to King Josiah. Shaphan reported to King Josiah about the workers being paid. Then Shaphan showed him the book. Shaphan read it to the king and when King Josiah heard it, he tore his clothes. He called in the priests to ask God about the book because they were not following God’s words! God said that because Josiah had a loving heart and he humbled himself to Him, King Josiah would not see the calamity that would happen in Judah. King Josiah gathered all the elders of Judah and they went to the temple. All the people: the priests & prophets, all the people small and great went to the temple to hear the Book of the Law. King Josiah read it to everyone. King Josiah stood by a pillar and made a promise to God. He promised to follow God and keep His commandments and His laws with all his heart and soul and to perform the instructions that were written in the Book of the Law. All the people agreed to keep the promises. King Josiah told Hilkiah, the priests and the doorkeepers to remove all the idols that were in the temple. He burned them outside of Jerusalem. He tore down the idols, pillars, shrines and wooden images in the high places and all of Judah and executed the priests that worshipped them. He told the people to keep the Passover that was written in the Book. In the 18th year of his reign, King Josiah held a Passover before the Lord in Jerusalem. “Such a Passover had not been held since the time of the judges and not during the kings of Israel or Judah.” There was not another king like him who worshipped God with his whole heart and soul and power. He worshipped according to the Law of Moses. Pharaoh Necho of Egypt was fighting Carchemish by the Euphrates and King Josiah went out to see him. The pharaoh sent messengers and they told Josiah that he didn’t have anything against him. He was there for a different battle. Pharaoh said that God told him to hurry and Josiah needed to leave so he wouldn’t be killed during the battle. But, Josiah didn’t listen and he disguised himself so he could fight the pharaoh. The archers of pharaoh killed King Josiah at the Valley of Megiddo when Josiah confronted him. King Josiah told his servants to take him away because he was severely wounded. Josiah’s servants took him out of that chariot and put him in a different chariot and returned him to Jerusalem. They buried him in his own tomb. All of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah because he was a good king and followed God’s laws. The people of Judah anointed his son Jehoahaz to be the next king.

Lesson 2 The Divided Kingdom: Jeroboam First King of Israel 1 Kings 12:20-14:20 & 2 Chronicles 10
Lesson 11 17. Menahem 18. Pekahiah 19. Pekah 20. Hoshea Kings #17 - #20 of Israel 2 Kings 15:14--31, 17:1-23 17. Menahem 2 Kings 15:14-22 Menahem was the son of Gadi and he traveled to Samaria from Tirzah. He struck Shallum and killed him and became the next king of Israel. He was mean and brutal. He became the king during the 39th year of King Uzziah of Judah. He was the king of Israel for 10 years in Samaria. He was evil and did not worship God. King Pul of Assyria went to Israel to take the land. But, Menahem collected 50 shekels of silver from every wealthy man and gave King Pul 1,000 talents of silver. King Pul left and didn’t stay in the land. When Menahem died, his son Pekahiah became the king. 18. Pekahiah 2 Kings 15:22-26 Pekahiah became the king of Israel during the 50th year of King Azariah of Judah. He was Menahem’s son. He lived in Samaria and was the king of Israel for 2 years. He was evil and did not follow God’s laws. Pekah was an officer and conspired against Pekahiah. Pekah killed him in the citadel (fortress) of the king’s house in Samaria. Pekah took his place as the king of Israel. 19. Pekah 2 Kings 15:25-31 Pekah attacked and killed Pekahiah in Samaria and became the next king. He became the king of Israel during the 52nd year of King Azariah of Judah’s reign. Pekah was the son of Remaliah. He was the king for 20 years. He was evil and did not follow God’s laws. During his reign, King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria attacked the land of Israel and took a lot of captives back to Assyria. So Hoshea led a conspiracy against Pekah. He struck and killed him and became the next king. 20. Hoshea 2 Kings 15:30-31, 17:1-23 Hoshea was the son of Elah and he led a conspiracy against Pekah. He struck and killed him and became the next king of Israel. He became the king during the 12th year of King Ahaz of Judah’s reign. He was a king for 9 years. He was also evil and didn’t obey God’s laws. Hoshea was working another conspiracy with Assyria and Egypt. Israel kings had been paying tribute money to the Assyrian kings each year. (See 2 Kings 17:4 & 2 Kings 15:19) He was trying to work something out with King So of Egypt. He didn’t bring the yearly tribute (taxes, pay off) to the Assyrian king. King Shalmaneser found out about King So of Egypt and took Hoshea prisoner. The king of Assyria went to Samaria and took control of it for 3 years. During Hoshea’s 9th year of reign, the king of Assyria took the people from Samaria and put them in places in Assyria. God was angry and tired of the people of Israel not worshipping Him. They have been following the same sins as the first king of Israel Jeroboam. The king of Assyria brought people and they occupied Samaria. The people of Israel were removed. We are not told what happened to Hoshea. He was the last king of Israel. The application packs contain any extra posters, worksheets, maps, etc. specific for the king(s) listed.

Scripture: 2 Kings 18-20 & 2 Chronicles 31:20 Hezekiah was the son of King Ahaz. Ahaz was the king of Judah. Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the 13th king of Judah, and Hezekiah was the king for 29 years in Jerusalem. Hezekiah did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Hezekiah repaired the temple and took down the idols that the people had been worshipping. (2 Chronicles 29:3) God said 'Do not have idols!' God had told Moses to make a bronze serpent for the people to look at when they were bitten by a snake while they were in the wilderness. But, over time, the people started to worship it and burn incense to it. Hezekiah knew that was wrong, so he broke it into pieces. (2 Kings 18:4) King Hezekiah trusted God. The Bible tells us in 2 Kings 18:5-6 that there wasn't any other king of Judah before or after him that was like him. Hezekiah stayed faithful to God, always following Him. He kept God's commandments that had been given to Moses. The Lord was with King Hezekiah and he prospered (did well) everywhere he went. The King of Assyria sent a great army to Jerusalem. They were standing at the aqueduct and called to King Hezekiah. Some of King Hezekiah's men went out to talk to them. They made fun of them and mocked King Hezekiah. (19) The army wanted Hezekiah's people to make a pledge to the king of Assyria, and shouted to everyone that the king of Assyria would win the fight and they shouldn't listen to King Hezekiah! King Hezekiah will not win the battle! Don't listen to King Hezekiah! When King Hezekiah heard about this, he tore his clothes and went into the temple. He sent his men to find Isaiah the prophet. (2 Kings 19:2) Isaiah told them to tell the king that the Lord has spoken and said not to be afraid. God said the King of Assyria will hear a rumor and will return home. He will die by the sword in his own land. King Hezekiah prayed to God to save the people. God told Isaiah the prophet that the King of Assyria would not fight in their city. Here is what happened. During the night, the angel of God went out and went to the Assyrian camp. The angel killed 185,000 people. When the people got up early the next morning, they found all the people dead. So, the king of Assyria returned home and stayed at Nineveh. (35-36) 2 Chronicles 31:20 Hezekiah was faithful to God. He did what was 'good and right and true'. All the work he did was according to the law and commandments of God. Hezekiah put his whole heart into his works and he prospered (did well). Click here to download.
