Today I read from the OT the final seven chapters book of First Kings. This portion of scripture contains the accounts of seven evil kings of the northern kingdom of Israel, along with two good kings of the southern kingdom of Judah
In the southern kingdom of Judah reigned the following good kings:
- Asa ben Abijam for 42 years (1 Kings 15)
- Jehoshaphat ben Asa for 23 years (1 Kings 22)
In the northern kingdom of Israel reigned the following evil kings:
- Nadab ben Jeroboam for 2 years (1 Kings 15)
- Baasha ben Ahijah for 24 years (1 Kings 16)
- Elah ben Baasha for 2 years (1 Kings 16)
- Captain Zimri for 1 year (1 Kings 15)
- Commander Omri for 12 years (1 Kings 16)
- Ahab ben Omri for 22 years (1 Kings 17)
- Ahaziah ben Ahab for 2 years (1 Kings 22, 2 Kings 1)
