Attitude of Ingratitude

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: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD. Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.-2 Chronicles 24:17-22 ***Over 800 years after Benjamin was born to Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Rachel died, Saul was born into the tribe of Benjamin. When Saul was a tall, young man, Samuel the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed Saul, according to the command of the Lord God, and Saul became the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David to reign as king. David was from the tribe of Judah, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Levi was Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son.  When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Murderers and idolaters always ruled the northern nation of Israel. David's descendants ruled Judah, except for the 6-year reign of Athaliah. Athaliah was the daughter of King Ahab, the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Ahab was married to Jezebel, a Sidonian (Zidonian) princess. Athaliah was married to Rehoboam's great-great-grandson Jehoram (Joram), the 5th king to rule Judah. Jehoram and Athaliah's son Ahaziah was the 6th king to rule Judah. Ahaziah ruled 1 year before he was wounded during a battle and died. Afterwards, Athaliah put her royal descendants to death. Ahaziah's sister Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath) was married to Jehoiada the priest. Jehosheba was able to hide Ahaziah's son Joash (Jehoash), and Joash's nurse. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Joash remained hidden 6 years in a bedchamber in the temple of the Lord until Jehoiada and his sons presented Joash to the Israelites. Joash became the 7th king to rule Judah, and he obeyed Jehoiada and the commandments, judgments, statutes, and laws of the Lord God that he learned from him. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, Joash began worshiping idols. Over 700 years after Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, became the 8th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
