For thou, Lord, <\/strong>art<\/strong><\/em> good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Psalm 86:5
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Have\nyou ever thought about how good God really is? He is always ready to forgive \u2014\nany who will call upon Him (remember Romans 10:13).\nIn our Key Verse see that mercy<\/em> means\n\u201ckindness, love, or mercy shown. Even when men may prove unfaithful to this\nrelationship, God\u2019s mercy to His people is everlasting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We\nare to understand God\u2019s faithfulness and mercy to His people \u2014 even when they\nforget Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>As we continue with our study today, do not get\nconfused by the king\u2019s name; Jehoash is often called Joash. Keep in mind that\nthey are the same person as you read through 2 Kings 13\u201315. We also will learn\nof the Prophet Elisha\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jehoash is king, he is challenged by the king of Judah (after he won a great victory against the Edomites) which led to the defeat of Judah. After King Jehoash died, Jeroboam II became king and reigned for 41 years. Because the kings had continually allowed the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and Dan, God permitted the enemies around to oppress Israel. God revealed to them that they had used all of their resources, tried everything they could, and still needed help. God never left them; they left God. One continual theme we can see as we study our lesson today is the same as our memory verse: \u201cFor thou, Lord, art<\/em> good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee\u201d (Psalm 86:5). In spite of Israel\u2019s continual state of sin, because they were God\u2019s people, He continually saved them from their enemies. Even though King Jeroboam II continued in the same sin of the previous kings, God allowed him to restore much of Israel\u2019s land that had been lost to enemies around. We also remember back to Amos as he delivered God\u2019s warning to Israel. Especially recognize Amos\u2019 tenacity to continue preaching God\u2019s Words to Israel even after being confronted by a priest of Bethel named Amaziah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After King Jeroboam II died, his son Zachariah reigned. We conclude our lesson today with God\u2019s promise to King Jehu being fulfilled. If you remember, God promised that King Jehu\u2019s children to the fourth generation would sit upon the throne of Israel because he destroyed Ahab\u2019s family as God had commanded him. Remember the generations after Jehu: Jehoahaz, Jehoash (Joash), Jeroboam II, and Zachariah. Zachariah was the fourth generation to sit upon the throne after King Jehu. We conclude our history today with Shallum, the son of Jabesh, who conspired against Zachariah and killed him to reign in his stead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
