Tara Lee Cobble：本集讲述了犹大国王亚玛谢和以色列国王耶罗波安二世的统治时期。亚玛谢王即位后，首先为父报仇，但没有滥杀无辜，遵守了神的诫命。他初期表现良好，但并未完全顺服神，在与以东的战争中，他因聘请以色列士兵而被先知责备，最终导致以色列士兵袭击犹大，造成重大损失。即使在战胜以东后，他也骄傲自满，开始敬拜假神，并威胁先知，最终因与以色列的战争失败而被杀。
耶罗波安二世是北国以色列的国王，他虽然邪恶，但在神旨意下，为以色列恢复了国土，应验了先知亚比雅关于耶罗波安家族灭亡的预言。他的统治时期，先知约拿还活着。通过亚玛谢和耶罗波安二世的统治，我们可以看到神掌管胜败，顺服与悖逆的代价，以及神并非中立，而是站在他所选择的一方。
Deep Dive
King Amaziah of Judah initially showed promise by refusing to punish children for their fathers' sins, but his good actions weren't fully yielded. He faced consequences for both obedience (hiring and then dismissing Israeli soldiers) and disobedience (idolatry and picking a fight with Israel). His reign highlights the complexities of faith and the cost of pride.
- Amaziah avenged his father's death but spared the children.
- He hired then dismissed Israeli soldiers, resulting in financial and human losses.
- His military victory led to pride, idolatry, and ultimately, his death.
