An Assassination
Today’s Bible Study June 19, 2012
“Joash’s officers plotted to kill him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest” (2 Chronicles 24:25).
To Find (look for):
What did King Joash do with the sacred temple objects after the King of Aram (Syria) killed all the leaders in Jerusalem (2 Kings 12:18)?
What happened to the dead man’s bones that touched Elisha’s dead bones (2 Kings 13:21)?
To Mind (key point): Syria attacked Jerusalem, invaded with force and killed all the leaders. This battle is not to be underestimated as it put Joash in a position of weakness, fear and trembling. As a result, he paid off Syria with a bribe of God’s things from the Temple treasury.
To Bind (apply to our lives): How often do we rob the Lord as we try to solve our own problems?
