2 Chronicles 21The tragedy of a compromised life is accented here by the description of Jehoram’s eight year reign. His attempt to mix the religious practices of Judah with those of the surrounding nations led to warfare, a plague on his people, and an agonizing death for him. When he died, no one wanted to celebrate his life as the had the kings before him. He was just one generation from the great king, Jehoshaphat, yet the chronicler says that he “departed with no one’s regret.”
LORD, give us the insight to live honorably in your eyes and in the eyes of those who will come after us.
