Today, I am reading and commenting on  2 Chronicles 11-14.

When Rehoboam returned to Jerusalem after his disastrous trip to Shechem, where the Northern Tribes rebelled against his rule, we see that he initially obeyed God’s commands.  As a result, the priests, Levites, and those who wished to follow the Lord migrated from the territory controlled by Jeroboam into Judah.  This migration set the stage for Rehoboam’s grandson to rule as a faithful follower of the Lord.  Further, we have three incidents in this passage where the people of Judah turned to God when facing overwhelming odds.  In all three incidents God provided deliverance.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
