The Lord is waiting for repentance of every sinful man

1 Kings 22:41-53
Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahan king of Israel. Jehoshaphat reigned in Jerusalem 25 years, he walked in the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.
Jehoshaphat refused Aha suggestion "Let my men sail with your men." He built a fleet of trading ship to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail- they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.
Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria, he reigned over  Irsael 2 years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done.
Why?
Judah has many kings walked the way of Lord, did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. In Israel there was no any king walked in the way of the Lord.
Elijah pronounces God's judgement on his idolatry. It takes three military posses to bring Elijah to the king. But nothing can alter the sentence.
How?
When the atmosphere or the circumstance are getting worse, no any justice could be done on this land then the sentence of the Lord will coming. It is the choice of human being and there consequence of sin.
People have to take his responsibility of what he has done. The Lord have mercy that wait for repentance of every sinful man.
