Trek Through Truth

New kings Jehoash in Isreal and Amaziah in Judah fight like siblings. Jonah is sent by God, not to Israel, but to Assyria, and he's not too interested in the assignment. 2 Kings 12:20-27, 1-5; 2 Kings 13:20-25; 2 Chronicles 25:5-24; 2Kings 14:15-24; Jonah 1:1-17; Jonah 3:1-10 #everydaychristians

Elisha and the king of Israel's love/hate relationship causes some interesting episodes. Obadiah has some words for Edom. 2 Kings 3:6-27; 2 Kings 8:16-17; I Kings 22:45-50; 2Chronicles 20:34; 2 Chronicles 21:1--4, 20, 5-17, 8-10; Obadiah 1:1-14 #everydaychristians
