Day 297

Wednesday, July 3

Read 2 Chronicles 12

Think About It:

There had been a good amount of friendly correspondence with Egypt. They had no reason to expect a war with them.

The cities of Judah that Rehoboam had really fortified so they would be safe, were taken immediately.

1. What is some reasons Rehoboam may have forsaken the LORD?
2. What caused the LORD to turn his wrath away from Rehoboam in verse 6 and 12?
3. Had everything gone back to ‘perfect’ when they humbled themselves?

Family Time:

1. In verse one, after Rehoboam had established his kingdom and strengthened himself, what happens in Rehoboam’s life? …and in all of Israel?
2. God brought discipline into the life of Rehoboam and Israel. How did they respond? (verse 6)
3. Even though they still had some consequences for their wrong, what did God do for them because of their humility? (verses 7 & 12)
