Welcome to today’s Bible study.

In this episode of 2 Kings 14 (KJV), we continue our verse-by-verse journey through the book of 2 Kings as Amaziah becomes king of Judah and Israel experiences renewed strength under Jeroboam II. This chapter explores justice, humility, pride, consequences, leadership, mercy, and God's compassion.

Amaziah follows the LORD, but not with the same faithfulness as David. He executes his father's murderers while obeying the Law of Moses by sparing their children. After defeating Edom, Amaziah challenges Jehoash king of Israel, but his pride leads to Judah's defeat and the breaking of Jerusalem's wall.

Amaziah later flees to Lachish and is killed. Meanwhile, Jeroboam II restores Israel's territory according to the word of the LORD through the prophet Jonah. Despite Israel's continued sin, God sees their suffering and shows compassion by delivering them from affliction.

Through this chapter, we see the consequences of pride, the importance of justice and humility, and God's mercy toward people in times of suffering.

Together, we will study this chapter verse-by-verse, exploring its historical context, theological depth, and spiritual lessons about justice, humility, leadership, pride, mercy, prophecy, restoration, and trusting the LORD.
