Like Father, Like Son

King Amon

Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them; And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled; but Amon trespassed more and more. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.-2 Chronicles 33:21-25***Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah. Over 1,200 years after Judah was born, Manasseh was born into the tribe of Judah to King Hezekiah and Hephzibah. Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to their descendants. Hezekiah's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather King David was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Abraham was a friend of God, and David was a man after God's own heart, and among Judah's kings, Hezekiah had unparalleled trust in the Lord God. When Manasseh was 12 years old, he became the 13th king to rule Judah, and Manasseh was the most wicked king to rule the kingdom. Sometime during Manasseh's 55-year reign, the Lord God allowed the Assyrians to capture Manasseh and take him to Babylon, a nation under Assyrian control. While in captivity, Manasseh humbled himself before the Lord God, and prayed to the Lord God, and the Lord God returned Manasseh to Jerusalem, the royal city. Manasseh removed the idolatrous images and altars from Jerusalem, including those he had placed inside and outside the temple of the Lord God. Amon, the son born to Manasseh and Meshullemeth, was the 14th king to rule Judah. After Amon was murdered by his officials, the Israelites appointed Josiah, the son born to Amon and Jedidah, as king. When Josiah died after being wounded by Egyptian archers, the Israelites placed Jehoahaz, the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, as king. In the 3rd month of Jehoahaz's reign, Pharaoh Necho (Nechoh) took Jehoahaz out of Jerusalem and set Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the son born to Josiah and Zebudah, as king, and Jehoahaz died in Egypt. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. After Jehoiakim died, Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, became the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar placed Josiah and Hamutal's son Zedekiah (Mattaniah) as king. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Notably, over 125 years earlier, King Pekah  became the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites captive. During the 9th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, the royal city, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, 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 David and his descendants, all 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, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:20, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah 41:1-29, Jeremiah 15:1-21, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James 2:1-26

Against Me Are Ye

King Amon

Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD. And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.-2 Kings 21:19-24***Moses was 80 years old and his brother Aaron was 83 when they led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land,  Miriam, the older sister of Aaron and Moses, died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died, and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' aide and successor from the tribe of Ephraim, was descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. After the Lord God spoke to him, and Joshua sent 2 spies to Canaan, and Rahab hid the spies, and the spies returned, Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. After 110-year-old Joshua died, and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Israelites were led by elders, judges and their own minds. Samuel the priest, prophet and judge was from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah and their 3rd born son Levi. When Samuel was elderly, and his sons Joel (Vashni) and Abiah (Abijah) were not obeying the commands of the Lord God, and King Nahash and his Ammonite army were preparing to attack, the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel appoint a king to lead them, and Samuel anointed Saul, from the tribe of Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin to reign, according to the command of the Lord God. David, from the tribe of Judah, was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that David was a man after God's own heart. Solomon, a son born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king. 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. 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. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Rehoboam's son Abijam (Abijah) was the 2nd king to rule Judah. Abijam's grandson Jehoshaphat was the 4th king. Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-great-grandson Jotham was the 10th king to rule Judah. Jotham's son Ahaz was the 11th king. Hezekiah, the son born to Ahaz and Abi (Abijah), was the 12th king to rule Judah. Manasseh, the son born to Hezekiah and Hephzibah, was the 13th king. David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijam, Jehoshaphat, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Manasseh died peaceably.  Abijam's son Asa, the 3rd king, Jehoshaphat's son Jehoram (Joram), the 5th king, and Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-grandson Uzziah (Azariah), the 9th king, died while afflicted with a disease.  Ahaziah, the son born to Jehoram and Athaliah, was the 6th king to rule Judah. Joash (Jehoash), the son born to Ahaziah and Zibiah, was the 7th king. Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, was the 8th king to rule Judah. Ahaziah was wounded in battle and escaped and died. Joash and Amaziah were killed. Over 600 years after  Josiah, the son born to Amon and Jedidah, became the 15th 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, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Jeremiah 39:1-18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
