2Chronicles 22, Train your children!

2Ch 22:2, AHAZIAH WAS FORTY-TWO YEARS OLD WHEN HE BECAME KING, AND HE REIGNED ONE YEAR IN JERUSALEM. HIS MOTHER’S NAME WAS ATHALIAH…

King Ahaziah was actually 22 years old when he became king! This is known as a scribble error! THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE THE PERFECT WORD OF GOD TO IMPERFECT PEOPLE!

2Ki 8:26, AHAZIAH WAS TWENTY-TWO YEARS OLD WHEN HE BECAME KING,

2Ch 22:3, HE ALSO WALKED IN THE WAYS OF THE HOUSE OF AHAB, FOR HIS MOTHER ADVISED HIM TO DO WICKEDLY.

Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT. 

REMEMBER WE TRAIN OUR CHILDREN BY OUR WORKS MORE THAN OUR WORDS, AND THEY WILL DO WHAT WE DO, NOT WHAT WE SAY TO DO!

This led to Ahaziah’s death by the hand of JEHU in verse 27.  LIVE BY THE SWORD, DIE BY THE SWORD!

2Ch 22:10, Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, SHE AROSE AND DESTROYED ALL THE ROYAL HEIRS OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. 

Athaliah was trying to kill off the lineage of David and with that the lineage of JESUS!

2Ch 22:11, BUT Jehoshabeath… took JOASH the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered

BUT THE LORD SENT A COURAGEOUS LADY, SISTER OF AHAZIAH BY A DIFFERENT MOTHER, TO SAVE JOASH! THE LORD KEEPS HIS PROMISES AND HE CAN SAVE BY ONE PERSON OR BY MANY!
