Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Chronicles 23:1, 3, 16
"And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’s people."
The people of Judah enter into covenants with the Lord that they will be His people. They broke down the house of Baal, its altars and images and slew the priest of Baal. They also slew Athaliah with the sword. They were cleansing Judah for they would be a people that only worshipped the Lord. If only they can keep their covenants and remain God's chosen people. So many times this has failed because they had unrighteous kings that fall into idolatry and lead the people astray.
