9“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a awhole heart and with a willing mind, bfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. cIf you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.2 Chronicles 12:1-3
Egypt Plunders Jerusalem
1 dWhen the rule of Rehoboam was established eand he was strong, fhe abandoned the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 gIn the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, hShishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 3with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt— iLibyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians.2 Chronicles 24:20
Joash’s Treachery
20 jThen the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah kthe son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, l‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? mBecause you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’”Romans 11:1-2
The Remnant of Israel
1I ask, then, nhas God rejected his people? By no means! For oI myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, ▼▼Or one of the offspring of Abraham
a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 qGod has not rejected his people whom he rforeknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? Hebrews 10:38
38 sbut my righteous one shall live by faith,and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
Hebrews 12:25
25See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For tif they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.
