1 Corinthians 10:11

 

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years......And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man..Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon......--Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;--Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,..And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways,.... 2 Samuel 5:4/12:7,9/Psalm 51:10-12/1 Kings 2:1,3   Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt... And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon,..And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:....For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God,...Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall..... 1 Chronicles 29:3/2 Chronicles 9:32/1 Kings 4:30/2 Chronicles 9:3,5/1 Kings 11:4/Proverbs 16:18   Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,...And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day....And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,... 1 Kings 14:21/2 Chronicles 12:14/2 Chronicles 10:18,19/2 Chronicles 12:2    Abijah to reign over Judah...He reigned three years in Jerusalem..And he walked in all the sins of his father,....And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: 2 Chronicles 13:1,2,/1 Kings 15:3/2 Chronicles 19,20   Asa his son reigned in his stead...And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem....And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:...For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:...So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled...And he took away the sodomites out of the land,----Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah,..Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, saying, There is a league between me and thee,...Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God,..therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars....Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time...Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 2 Chronicles 14:1/1 Kings 15:10/2 Chronicles 14:2,3,12/1 Kings 15:12/2 Chronicles 16:1-3,7,9,10/1 Kings 15:23   Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead,..And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David,..he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem.....So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him....And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. 2 Chronicles 17:1,3/20:31-33,46   Jehoram his son reigned in his stead...and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, ..slew all his brethren with the sword, ..And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD......And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father,..And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day....Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:...Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. 2 Chronicles 21:1,5,4,6,12,15,16/2 Kings:22   ...for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned....Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah...He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly...and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah,....And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah,....And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 2 Chronicles 22:16,8/2 Kings 9:27   But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land. 2 Chronicles 22:10-12   And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, ..and shewed them the king's son. And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, ... Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason. And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain. Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest....But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places... But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols:....the host of Syria came up against him: So they executed judgment against Joash. And when they were departed from him, his own servants conspired against him ...and slew him on his bed, and he died: 2 Kings 11:4,11/2 Chronicles 23:12,13/2 Kings 11:13/2 Chronicles 24:1,2/2 Kings 12:3/2 Chronicles 24:15,17,18,23,25   Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart..... after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them....And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate,...Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there. 2 Chronicles 25:1,2,14/2 Kings 14:3/2 Chronicles 25:27   Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king.. and he reigned fifty and two years...And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,...And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians..... and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly..And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal.......Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places...But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense....And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.... 2 Chronicles 26:1,2,4,7,8,15,16/2 Kings 15:4   Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years.. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,.. howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly... he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. 2 Chronicles 27:1,2,4,5   Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years...But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen,...And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him....So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me. And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, ..and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria....And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof....Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 2 Chronicles 28:1/2 Kings 16:3-5,7,10/Isaiah 7:10-14   Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years..And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,.. in the first year of his reign, ..opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them....He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it:...For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him,...And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover...Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities,...And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria....In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, .. O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth ..And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 2 Chronicles 29:1,2/2 Kings 18:4,6/2 Chronicles 30:1/32:1,21/2 Kings 20:1-3/Isaiah 38:4,5   Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years...But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God,...Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another;...Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God. Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight,...And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh ..for that which he did in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 33:1-3,5/2 Kings 21:6/2 Chronicles 33:7/2 Kings 21:16/2 Chronicles 33:11-13/Jeremiah 15:1,4   Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years...But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him...And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: 2 Chronicle 34:1,3,14,19/35:18,20-23/2 Kings 23:30/2 Chronicles 35:25   Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months..And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 2 Chronicles 36:2/2 Kings 23:32/2 Chronicles 36:3   And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim.
