2 Kings 15:13-26
Shallum assassinated Zechariah and succeeded him as king of Israel. He reigned in Samaria one month.
Menahem fro Tizah up to Samaria, assassinated him ad succeeded him as king. Menahem reigned in Samaria ten years, he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
The Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave him a thousand talents of silver to gain his support and strengthen his oven hold on the kingdom.
Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned two years. Pekahiah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. One of his officers, Pekah taking fifty men of Gilead with him, he assassinated Pekahiah and succeeded him as king.
Pekah became king of Israel in Samaria, he reigned twenty years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Assyria came and took may cities. Hohea conspired against Pekah. He attacked and assassinated him, and then succeeded him as king.
Why?
Before end of Israel kingdom, the kings of Israel are replaced very quick, there were not honesty or righteousness in the land. Full of conspire against his master and assassinated events.
Strength of Israel was weak, Assyria attacked Israel twice and took many property and deported the people to Assyria.
There were not the mercy and blessing of the Lord in Israel.
How?
When a country turn away from the Lord, the blessing of the Lord is gone. May the mercy of the Lord come upon America, China and Taiwan. May more people know the Lord and turn away from sins. Prayer is needed from me.
