8 From the Book of 2 Chronicles is: 2 Chronicles 13 and 14
1- Chapter 13.
Jeroboam had the advantages of numbers (verse 3) and of military skill (verse
13), and he, too, had received promises from God (cf). I Ki. 11:29-39). What,
then, gave Judah the victory? Cf. verse 18 with 1 Ki. 12:28-33.
2- Chapter 14.
What did Asa do to mark him out as ‘Good and right’ in peace and war?
3- What is the
connection between 14:2-4 and 14:1, 12?
Cf. 1 Jn. 3:21, 22; 5:3, 4. If Asa had not set God and His commandments
in the forefront of his endeavours, could he have prayed with such confidence
or won so great a victory?
Note. 13:5. ‘By a covenant of salt’: i.e., a
binding covenant, not to be broken. Cf. Nu. 18:19.
