1 Kings 20-2 Kings 3 Summary

 

(20:28) Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD:'Because the Syrians have said, "The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys, "therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"

 

In chapter 20, King Ben-Hadad gathered all his army, and thirty-two kings were with him. He surrounded Samaria and sent messengers to King Ahab, saying that silver and gold, his wife, and children were all his own. So the king of Israel said that all his things belonged to Ben-hadad, and Ben-hadad said to pass it all over. So when the king consulted with the elders and refused Ben-Hadad's request, Ben-hadad said that he deserved punishment if Samaria's brokenness was enough to fill the hands of the people.The king of Israel could not boast like a man wearing armor as a stripper. It was said that Ben-hadad camped against Israel. Then a prophet told Ahab that he would defeat Ben-hadad, and Ben-hadad was defeated in the mountains and on the plains. However, he did not kill Ben-hadad, and a curse came.

 

(21:19)You shall speak to him, saying,'Thus says the LORD: "Have you murdered and also taken possession?"' And you shall speak to him, saying,'Thus says the LORD: "In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours."'"

 

In chapter 21, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, and Ahab was close to the royal palace, and Ahab told Naboth to give him a vineyard to make a vegetable garden, but Naboth said that he could not give Ahab the inheritance of his ancestors to the king. When Ahab was frustrated, he came to the house and lay down without eating, so Jezebel said that he would give Ahab the vineyard of Naboth, and told him through the bad guys that he had falsely testified against God and the king, and led the crowd outside the city to stone him. . When Jezebel was notified of this, he told Ahab to take Naboth's vineyard, and Naboth went down and met Elijah and said that his house would be like Jeroboam's house, and the dogs would eat Jezebel.

 

(22:45~46) Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not witten in the book of chronicles of the kings of Judah? And the rest of the preverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land.

 

In chapter 22, there were three years without war between Syria and Israel. When King Jehoshaphat of Judah went down to Israel, he asked King Jehoshaphat if he would go to Ramoth Gilead with him to fight. When asked to see, they called the prophets, and all the prophets said that the king of Israel would prevail, but only Micaiah said that the king of Israel would be defeated, and that the spirit of lying would work among the prophets. Israel and Judah fought against Aram, and the king of Israel was defeated and killed by an arrow shot by accident. His chariot was washed by a stream, and the dogs burned the blood, as prophesied.

 

(2Kings 1:12) So Elijah answered and said to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

 

In 2 Kings 1, Moab betrayed Israel after Ahab's death. Ahaziah fell from his attic parapet in Samaria and fell ill, and he sent a messenger to ask Baalcebub if he would heal him. At this time, Elijah the Desepite, who had heard the command of the Lord, went to the messenger and told the messenger that Ahaziah could not come down from the desk and would surely die. When Ahaziah heard this, he sent fifty soldiers to pick up Elijah, and he went to Elijah and called him, and fire came down from heaven and burned the fifty. The third time he sent fifty men, the captain of the fifties knelt down and asked Elijah, and Elijah went with him.

 

(2:14) Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

 

In Chapter 2, when the Lord wanted to bring Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah went out with Elisha from Gilgal. Elijah said he would go to Bethel, but Elisha stayed. But he swore that the Lord lived and Elijah was alive. He said he would not leave Elijah. Elijah went to Bethel and then to Jericho, but Elisha continued to follow Elijah. In addition, Elisha told Elijah that he wanted double the work of his Holy Spirit. Elijah said this was difficult, but Elisha said that this would happen when he saw God take Elijah. As the two went on the road, Elisha saw that the horses of fire and the chariots of fire separated them, and Elijah went up, and Elisha gained power.

 

(3:14) And Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.

 

In Chapter 3, in the eighth year of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab reigned over Israel in Samaria for twelve years, and he did evil before the Lord, but did not do with his parents. King Mesa of Moab was a herder of sheep, offering the fur of 100,000 lambs and 100,000 rams to Israel, but after Ahab's death, the king of Moab betrayed Israel. Jehoram went out to Samaria to look around all Israel, and sent an envoy to Jehoshaphat king of Judah to attack Moab with him, and Jehoshaphat accepted it.The king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom went on a road in the wilderness. When he went down to Elisha and asked the Lord, the valley was filled with water, and he drank and defeated Moab.
