2 Kings
1 Chronicles / 2 Chronicles
B.C. dates at
top of timeline are approximate. Note that 931BC marks the
division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and
Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware
that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the
Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah"
and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note
that 1Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because
these chapters are records of genealogy.

1 Chronicles
covers the same period of time as 2 Samuel and both describe
the reign of David (See the Timeline above) whereas 2
Chronicles covers the same period of time as 1 Kings
and 2 Kings and both describe the time from Solomon to the
Babylonian Captivity. In Chronicles the kings of Israel (See table
below where Jeroboam I identifies first of the kings of the
10 Northern tribes) are not mentioned unless they do something that
relates to the kings of Judah. Note that the word "chronicle"
means "a continuous and detailed account of historical events
arranged in order of time." In First and Second Chronicles God has
given us a very accurate history so that we can know all that He
wants us to know about the period of the kings.

2Kings --Power for
The blessing that Elisha
craved, in asking for a double portion of the spirit of his master,
when Elijah was about to be taken from him [2Kings 2:9], was not to
be twice as great, but to have the portion of the first-born son.
The first-born son inherited a double portion of his father's
property, twice as much as each of the other sons [Deut 21:17].
Elisha asked to have the prophetic office, and with it the power of
the Spirit to enable him to fulfil it. In this last scene, we
sometimes almost wonder whether we are in the Old Testament or the
New. We have an ascending master, a waiting disciple, a descending
power. ''Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me'' [Acts 1:8]. No
Christian is exempt from the call to be a witness. Christ wants
witnesses everywhere, and we cannot do it without His power.
'Thou hast asked an hard thing'' [2Kings 2:10]. There are two
(1) Absolute surrender. In his first call, Elisha showed this
thoroughness. He shows it now. Unhindered by the discouragement of
others, and even by the seeming discouragement of his master, he
pressed on from point to point, having counted the cost. It is a
serious thing to follow Christ; He always bids us count the cost. At
last it meant Jordan itself: death to the self-life. The baptism of
the Spirit always means a baptism into the death of Christ [Rom
8:8-13; Gal 2:20].
(2) The second condition was faith. ''If thou see me when I shall be
taken from thee, it shall be so.'' He kept his eye fixed on his
master. ''And Elisha saw it.'' The result was, he rent his own
clothes-- no more dependence on self-- and took up the mantle of
Elijah, for that was to be his only power now. He put it to the test
at once, and was able to do the same works as Elijah had done. ''The
works that I do shall ye do also'' [Joh 14:12]. And the prophets
found it out [2Kin 2:14,15], and a life of blessing and service to
others was the outcome (Rev. E.W. Moore).
Salt. [2Kings
The healing of the
waters of Jericho at their source, by casting in salt from a new
dish, touched the people of Elisha's day, and is full of
significance for us. It shows the power of the Gospel to change
men's lives at their source. Christ brought this life-giving power
in His perfect manhood. But we may recognize the ''new vessel'' also
in every renewed heart which brings the power of the Gospel to other
lives. Christians are to be ''the salt of the earth'' [Mat 5:13].
Dr. Thomson tells us there seems no reason to doubt the identity of
the fountain which tradition points out as the scene of the miracle.
The water is abundant, transparent, sweet and cool, and abounds in
fish, and on the margin of this delightful brook grow a great number
of bushes.
Ditches. [2Kings 3:1-27]
The miracle by which water was brought to relieve the need of the
hosts of Israel, Judah, and Edom, who had combined to put down the
rebellion of Moab, also contains a lesson on the manner of the
Spirit's coming. When the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha, he
said: ''Make this valley full of ditches.'' It was a valley to begin
with, a low place, a place of humility. God's rivers choose the
valleys to flow in. Water always seeks the lowest level. But ditches
had to be cut, the humbling work carried still further. If we would
be the means of blessing to others, we must allow the Lord to cut
His channels deep in our hearts. ''For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall
not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be
filled with water, that ye may drink, and your beasts.'' No sound,
but the waters came. So it is with the Spirit:
He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
''And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was
offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the
country was filled with water.'' Again we are reminded that it was
Calvary that procured the blessing of Pentecost.
A Pot of Oil. [2Kings
In the multiplication of
the widow's pot of oil, we have another illustration of the work of
the Spirit. Again, it is a lesson of emptying. The poor widow had
nothing in the house wherewith to discharge her debt, save a pot of
oil. We also owe a debt we cannot pay. We are debtors to live after
the Spirit [Rom 8:12,13], we are debtors to love one another [Rom
13:8], we are debtors to carry the Gospel both to the Greek and the
Barbarian, both to the wise and to the unwise [Rom 1:14]. Nothing of
our carnal nature can avail to discharge the debt. The oil-- the
Holy Spirit-- will alone avail. But as in faith we begin, at God's
bidding, to pour it out into the empty vessels around us, we shall
find that His supply is an inexhaustible one, and that the only
limit is the measure of our expectation. ''Go and pay thy debt, and
live of the rest.'' The power of the Spirit is enough both for life
and for service.
Soul-Winning. [2Kings 4:8-37]
In the raising of the
Shunammite's son, we have a lesson for the messenger of the Gospel.
Gehazi had the outward symbol of office [but] without power. When he
laid the prophet's staff upon the dead child, nothing happened. But
with Elisha was the secret of the Lord. ''He went in, and shut the
door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. And he went up, and
lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes
upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hand; and he stretched himself
upon the child, and the flesh of the child waxed warm.'' We see in
the action of Elisha the secret of dependence upon God, of power in
prayer, of personal influence. It gives us a picture of how much it
costs to win souls; he seemed to give his very life, as Paul was
ready to do when he said, ''We were willing to have imparted unto
you, not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye
were dear unto us'' (1The 2:8).
In the healing of the
deadly pottage [2Kings 4:38-41], we have a picture of how a
Christian may cleanse the moral atmosphere around him, or purify the
conversation, by the introduction of an element that is positively
In the multiplying of the barley loaves [2Ki 4:42-44], we have a
foreshadowing of a greater miracle, by the shores of the Sea of
Galilee [Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14].
Naaman. [2Kings 5:1-27]
And now we come to the
healing of Naaman the Syrian, and in it we see the whole Gospel in
miniature. Naaman, a great man, honourable, gracious, exalted, a
victorious captain, a mighty man of valour-- but he was a leper.
There is that ''but'' in every life that has not come to Jesus
Christ for cleansing. ''If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with
Me'' [John 13:8]. The leprosy of sin, be the outward show of it ever
so slight, incurs God's declaration ''utterly unclean.'' ''If any
man keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of
all'' [James 2:10]. God says, ''There is no difference: for all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God'' [Rom 3:19-23].
Nine steps of humbling brought Naaman low enough to receive the
He accepted the testimony of a little captive maid.
He found it was not the great King of Israel who was to cleanse him.
He found that the cleansing could not be bought, even with [a great
sum of money].
He had to go to the house of a poor prophet.
The prophet did not even come out to work the miracle, but sent a
He was to wash in the despised little river of Jordan.
He had to be guided by the good advice of his servants.
He had to obey.
He had to become as a little child [v.14].''And he was clean!''
Before his cleansing, Naaman said ''I thought'' [v.11]. Now he could
say ''I know'' [v.15]. In some such manner, God has to remove one by
one, all our preconceived notions of how we will be saved, and bring
us to Calvary. We may hear the message of salvation from a very
humble source. No good deeds or fancied merits of our own can
purchase it. No earthly rivers of reformation or culture can remove
the guilt of sin. There is only one thing in all the universe that
can do it: ''The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all
sin'' [1John 1:7].
The Lost Axe-Head. [2Kings 6:1-7]
John McNeil of Australia
[in his book The Spirit-filled Life] has drawn a lesson for us from
the lost axe-head. We may lose that sharp axe-head, the power of the
Spirit for service, by disobedience, by want of separation, by
neglect of the Bible, by neglect of communion, by lack of faith. If
you have lost it, go back and look for it. You will find it where
you lost it: just there and nowhere else. Have you found the spot
where obedience failed? Yield, and obey just there. Do not continue
at work chopping with the axe-handle. Many do this; there is much
effort but no results-- no chips fly off at the stroke. If we have
enjoyed and have lost the fulness of the Spirit, let us confess,
betake ourselves to the open fountain [Zech 13:1], and obey, and He
will put away our sin, and give us afresh of His fulness. For His
sake, for the sake of our souls, for our own sake, we must not try
to live and labor without being filled.
Chariots of Fire. [2Kings 6:8-33]
Elisha lived in the calm
sense of God's immediate presence. This was the secret of his power.
When he and his servant were surrounded in the city of Dothan with
the army of Syria, ''a great host,'' and the servant said, ''Alas,
Master! How shall we do?'' Elisha said, ''Fear not; for they that be
with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and
said, Lord I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord
opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about
Elisha.'' If we lived continually in the sense of God's protecting
presence, what calm power there would be in our lives!
Witnessing. [2Kings 7]
The four lepers, who carried the good tidings of the plentiful
supply in the deserted camp of the Syrians to the starving people of
Samaria, are an example for us as Christians. If we have discovered
the riches of Christ for ourselves, ''we do not well to hold our
peace.'' We should make the same resolve they did: ''Now therefore,
come, that we may go and tell the King's household.''
''Is thine heart right?'' said Jehu to Jehonadab the son of Rechab,
''Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?'' And
Jehonadab answered, ''It is.'' ''If it be, give me thine hand. And
he gave him his hand; and he took him up with him into his
chariot.'' [2Kings 10:15].
Our King sees us toiling along life's journey, and He puts to us
this question: ''Is thy heart right towards Me? Lovest thou Me more
than these?'' [John 21:15]. If we can reply, ''It is. Thou knowest
that I love Thee,'' our King, as it were, stretches out His hand and
draws us up and seats us with Himself in heavenly places, and makes
us to ride in His chariot of power. We have the same thought in the
Book of Chronicles: ''The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout
the whole earth, to show Himself strong on the behalf of those whose
heart is perfect toward Him'' [2Chron 16:9].
The history of Judah is so bound up with the history of the Temple
that it will be better for us to study it as a whole, in the Book of
Chronicles. Those books, as we have already seen, are written from
the Temple standpoint.
Old Testament
Reflections of Christ
Paul R. Van Gorder
OT Reflections of Christ - Contents
We now come to perhaps the saddest book of all Jewish history. It
records the carrying away into captivity of Israel by Assyria in 721
B.C. and the captivity of Judah by Babylon in 586 B.C.
Second Kings is often called the ''book of dispersion.'' In 1Kings
we read that Solomon succeeded David, and we saw how Israel reached
the zenith of her earthly splendor. But Solomon failed. He sinned by
unduly taxing the people to support his lifestyle, and the kingdom
was divided.
The result of his sin was God's hand of chastening. This is
expressed best in what many consider to be the key verse of 2Kings,
''In those days the Lord began to cut off a part of Israel''
The reader will better understand the setting and circumstances in
Israel and Judah if he will read the prophetic books written during
that time.
To Israel: Amos and Hosea.
To Judah: Obadiah, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah,
and Jeremiah.
Israel and Judah until the Fall of Samaria (2Kings 1-17)
The History of Judah to the Destruction of Jerusalem (2Kings 18-25)
The book of 2Kings opens with the record of Elijah's translation,
the succession of Elisha, and the wonderful shout, ''The spirit of
Elijah doth rest on Elisha'' (2Kings 2:15). The book closes with the
sad plight of King Jehoiachin (2Kings 25:27-30). The book begins
with the blessing from heaven upon God's prophet; it closes with the
king of Judah under a regular allowance from a heathen ruler (2Kings
Second Kings is filled with teaching concerning Christ, even though
His name is not mentioned. The ministry of Elisha, whose name means
''my God is salvation,'' is a graphic picture of our Lord Jesus
Christ in the midst of abounding evils. Let us consider three of
these pictures.
CHRIST AND THE BELIEVER (2Kings 2:1-22)
As you consider the account of the translation of Elijah into heaven
and the transfer of his power to Elisha, you almost feel as if you
are reading the first chapters of the book of Acts.
Elijah ascended into heaven bodily, personally, and visibly. Note
the progression of Elisha's walk to power. He refused to remain at
Gilgal, the place where the reproach of Egypt had been rolled away
[Josh 5:9,10]. He went with Elijah to Bethel, ''the house of God.''
But he needed more than that. So he proceeded with the prophet from
Bethel to Jericho, the place of the curse. But a further step
followed in the progression. He walked on to the Jordan, the place
of death, and passed through the river with Elijah and on to the
other side. This says to the believer that we reckon ourselves ''to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ,
our Lord'' (Rom 6:11).
Then, like Christ's disciples centuries later, Elisha watched his
mentor being taken up from him into heaven (2Kings 2:11). Take note
of the energy of his faith! True faith always counts upon God's
faithfulness. Elisha had met God's conditions, so he expected God to
fulfill His part. By faith, he took the mantle of Elijah and struck
the waters, and they parted. Then he came back across the Jordan the
same way he had gone. The power of Elijah was his.
All of this is a beautiful picture of our identification with the
Lord Jesus in His death, His resurrection, His ascension, and His
present position at the Father's right hand. And, as the spirit of
Elijah became Elisha's, so the Holy Spirit indwells the believer to
demonstrate through him the resurrection life of the Lord Jesus
CHRIST AND THE WORD (2Kings 4:38-41)
The land was plagued with a drought. Every effort had failed; famine
had spread throughout the nation [1Kin 8:35-39]. Even a superficial
consideration of the account brings to mind similarities to the
present spiritual condition in Christendom [Amos 8:11,12].
Not only was there dearth in the land, there was also ''death in the
pot.'' The food had been poisoned with wild gourds. Those who were
to partake of the food did not know of this deadly ingredient. In
the New Testament, our Lord warned of ''leaven'' that had been
slipped into the flour [Mat 13:33; 16:6,11,12]. And Jude says that
''certain men crept in unawares, ...ungodly men, turning the grace
of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and
our Lord Jesus Christ'' (Jude 1:4). God's children are to be alert
to any ''death in the pot,'' any infiltration of sin and error.
How are we to counteract evil's presence? In the biblical account,
Elisha ordered meal to be brought and cast into the pot. In the
feasts of Jehovah and the sacrifices of the tabernacle, meal
pictured the Word of God. That is the antidote for theological
poison! ''To the Law and to the Testimony; if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them''
(Isa 8:20). The Lord Jesus prayed, ''Sanctify them through thy
truth; Thy word is truth'' (John 17:17). Although the written Word
of God reveals the living Word, the Lord Jesus, they are
inseparable. False doctrine can be counteracted only by the
preaching and the teaching of the Bible.
CHRIST AND THE SINNER (2Kings 5:1-14)
The cleansing of Naaman the leper is a gem among Old Testament
stories. This incident depicts beautifully the provision God has
made in Christ for one afflicted with the terrible leprosy of sin.
Although Naaman had an exalted position with the king of Syria, was
honored by his master, and was a courageous man, the fatal word
concerning him is stated starkly in the account. ''He was a leper.''
Leprosy speaks of the defilement of sin, which afflicts every
individual. Regardless of fine heredity, acquired culture, extensive
education, or moral character, man in the sight of God is a
spiritual leper. ''There is none righteous, no, not one'' (Rom
This thrilling story of a great man's cleansing is highlighted by
the faithful witness of a little maid who had been taken captive
into Syria. She was a servant in Naaman's household, and she bore
fruitful testimony to God's power through His servant Elisha. The
Holy Spirit chooses to use men and women, boys and girls, to give
the message of redeeming grace in Christ. Our Lord said to His
disciples, ''But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is
come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me'' (Acts 1:8).
Satan bitterly opposes the operation of the Word of God and the
Spirit of God in the work of cleansing spiritual lepers. This is
seen clearly in the account of Naaman, where three forces worked
against his recovery from leprosy. We read first that he went to the
king of Israel, rather than the prophet Elisha (2Kin 5:5).
Second, Naaman had a preconceived idea of the way his cleansing
should be accomplished. How like human nature to want some show of
the flesh, some spectacular demonstration, rather than simply
believing the Word! Naaman said, ''I thought, he will surely come
out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and
strike his hand over the place, and cure the leprosy'' (2Kings
The third form of opposition came in the form of prejudice. The
leper said, ''We have better rivers than this at home'' (see 2Kings
5:12). This tendency is often seen today in the stringent
denominational formulas that add to the pure gospel. They mix in
such demands as joining their church or submitting to some ordinance
in order to be assured of salvation. Cleansing for Naaman came only
when he obeyed the word of God's prophet and went into the only
river specified. No ''rivers'' of man's choosing can ever remove the
guilt of sin. There is only one way. ''The blood of Jesus Christ,
His Son, cleanseth us from all sin'' (1John 1:7).

compilation and condensation of other men's thoughts, but it is
sufficiently original to claim a place in every minister's library;

Kings 4:1-7 Beneficiary
Widowed, childless, and past 80 years of age, Bill Cruxton wanted
his $500,000 fortune to make a difference in someone's life. A
17-year-old waitress who had been kind to him seemed the perfect
choice. So when Cruxton died on November 9, 1992 he left the bulk of
his estate to Cara Wood, a high school senior who befriended him
during the 13 months she worked part-time at a restaurant. Even after
she quit her job, Cara kept in touch with Cruxton, running errands for
him and helping him around the house. Because of his poor eyesight,
she often helped
him read his mail and pay his bills. Like Cara Wood, the widow in
today's story became the recipient of another's wealth. But the riches
she received came from the hand of God. The woman had known great
heartache. She had lost her husband, who was of the men from the
"company of the prophets." Soon she would lose her sons as well, since
they were about to become slaves. The Mosaic Law gave a creditor the
right to claim the person and children of a debtor who was unable to
pay. They were obliged to serve as the creditor's hired workers until
the year of Jubilee, when they were set free (Lev. 25:39–41). It was
not a happy prospect, and the prophet Elisha, who knew her husband's
devotion to the Lord, wanted to help this desperate widow. When he
learned that she had nothing in her house but a small flask of oil, he
told her to collect from her neighbors as many empty jars as she
could—leaving the number of jars, and the size of her faith, up to
her. The woman was to shut herself and her sons inside the house and
pour from her flask until all of the jars were full. Nobody else was
to see or know about the miracle. Nobody needed to know about it, or
Elisha would surely have been swamped with "business offers." The
woman did as Elisha instructed, and had enough oil to pay her debts
and live off the rest. God's prophets were not only messengers of His
judgment, but instruments of His miraculous provision for His people.

Kings 4:8-37 Unusual Arrangement
Because the father of British composer Thomas Arne was an undertaker,
the younger Arne's violin teacher, the eminent violinist Michael
Festing, once found Arne practicing with his music propped up on the
lid of a coffin. Rattled by his student's unusual arrangements,
Festing said that he himself would be unable to play under such
conditions for fear there might be a body in the coffin. "So there
is," replied Arne coolly, raising the lid to provide proof. Death is
always unsettling, and Festing was certainly not alone in feeling
uncomfortable in its presence. But when death is sudden and untimely,
its effects are more than just unsettling. Witness, for example, the
agony and bewilderment of the Shunammite woman in verses 22–28 of
today's lesson. Shunem was a tiny village, nestled in the rolling
hills south of the Sea of Galilee. This woman seemed to have
everything. She was wealthy and apparently happily married—just the
opposite of the widow we met yesterday. Her only regret may have been
that she was childless. One day she saw the prophet Elisha walking
down a street in her village. Realizing that he was a stranger in
town, she invited him in for a meal. That meal started a family
tradition in which the prophet and his servant Gehazi would eat at her
house each time they visited Shunem. Eventually the woman and her
husband built a cozy bed-and-breakfast for the prophet on the roof of
their house, and he became a regular guest. Wanting to repay the
woman, Elisha told her that she would have a son. But what God gave,
God seemed to take away when the boy fell ill and died. After his
death, the woman searched separately for Elisha. The look on her face
and distress in her voice was enough to tell him what had happened,
for the boy's death was never mentioned to the prophet. In seeking
Elisha, of course, the woman was really reaching out in faith to
God—and she was rewarded with the restoration of her son, just like
the widow from Zarephath (I Kings 17). Elisha duplicated the greatest
miracle of Elijah, and another village had undeniable testimony to the
true God. Today in the Word, May 13, 1993
Kings 5:1-19 Godly House Servant
The Earl of Shaftesbury was a dedicated Christian reformer and member
of the House of Lords who did much to relieve the plight of the poor
and suffering in 19th-century England. Among his many accomplishments
were improved conditions for the mentally ill, the abolition of women
and children as mine laborers, and better housing conditions for the
poor. He was also very active in mission work with a number of
Christian ministries. In looking back over his life, the Earl made a
very interesting observation in light of today's text. He said he owed
his faith to a house servant, his Christian nurse. His parents took
little interest in raising their son, but this godly woman loved him
and pointed him to Christ. Today in the Word, MBI, January,
1990, p. 40
Kings 6:1-7 The Lost Axehead
Emerging unscathed from a duel fought in a secluded corner of London,
British aristocrat Lord William Alvanley handed a guinea to the
hackney coachman who had conveyed him to the spot and home again.
Surprised at the size of the tip, the man protested. "But, my lord, I
only took you a mile."
Alvanley waved aside the objection. "The guinea's not for taking me,
my man, it's for bringing me back." Alvanley knew that getting into a
duel was the easy part. Surviving the ordeal was another story. Losing
something of value and finding it again is sort of like that. Losing
the valued item is the easy part. Recovering it, like surviving a
duel, is something else altogether.
In this brief and fascinating account from the ministry of Elisha, the
miraculous recovery of a lost axehead became a powerful reminder of
God's care for His faithful servants.
At first reading, this may seem like a trivial incident. So an axehead
was lost. Just pay the owner for it and go on. But there's more going
on here than a slip of an ax. The various "compan(ies) of the
prophets" in Israel were crucially important if the worship of the
true God was to be preserved in a nation where the majority of the
people had fallen into Baal worship. So building needed living
quarters for these men was important. The importance of these
prophetic "schools" was also underscored by Elisha's presence with
them (vv. 3–4). He knew how critical their role was in keeping alive
the worship of God. They evidently didn't have much financial support
from the people, so the loss of a borrowed axehead was a fiscal
Most important of all, Elisha turned the loss into an opportunity for
God to demonstrate His power and His care for these prophets. Was that
important to them in a hostile environment where they were probably
outnumbered? Of course it was. This miracle was God's way of saying to
the prophetic band, "Don't fear, I am with you." That's always a
welcome message! Today in the Word, May 15, 1993
Kings 14 He Did What Was Right …
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like
David. 2 Kings 14:3
When a person tries to justify his wrong behavior by pointing to the
conduct of others, he isn't aiming high enough. This is also true if
he patterns himself after someone who gives the Lord only partial
obedience. A college student learned this lesson when he was
reprimanded by the school president for misbehavior. The young fellow
offered this lame excuse for his questionable conduct: "But, Sir,
you'd find it difficult to locate 10 men in this school who wouldn't
have done as I did if they had been in my circumstances." The
president replied, "Has it ever occurred to you that you could have
been one of those 10?"
Amaziah was a good king. He worshipped the true God and showed mercy
to the children of some who had conspired against him. Apparently he
set a good moral example. But he foolishly led his troops into a
shameful defeat and was finally executed by a group of rebels. In 2
Kings 14:3, we are told why Amaziah did not experience the full
blessing of the Lord. The text says, "And he did that which was right
in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David." He followed the example
of his father Joash and failed to put a stop to the semi-pagan worship
conducted on hills throughout the land. He should have patterned
himself after his forefather David. He simply didn't aim high enough.
- Our Daily Bread, Herbert Vander Lugt, Friday, July 17
Kings 18:4 The Brazen Serpent (Nehushtan)
The footnote in the New International Version at II Kings 18:4 is most
interesting. When Hezekiah found the brazen serpent made by Moses in
the wilderness still being worshipped, he destroyed it. The NIV says,
"...he called it Nehushtan." The footnotes explain the meaning—"a
serpent made of brass."
One is made to wonder how such an idol could have existed so long. It
would seem that in the reformation movements of one of the judges or
kings, it would have been destroyed. My opinion is that it was not
recognized as an idol and hence was preserved. Perhaps they justified
it by not calling it an idol. Hezekiah, however, came and called it
what it really was—a brass image of a snake.
How often we justify sin by calling it a different name! Some call
adultery, "a meaningful relationship." We excuse covetousness by
calling it "prudence" or "economy." A life of sensual pleasure is
"living with gusto."
In answer to a critic, Abraham Lincoln asked, "How many legs does a
cow have?" "Four," was the reply. "If you call her tail a leg, how
many does she have? asked Lincoln. "Five," was the answer. "No,"
Lincoln said, "Just calling a tail a leg, doesn't make it a leg."
Have we made a similar mistake? Do we think that sin is not sin, just
because we do not call it by its right name? Ancil Jenkins

Pictorial Bible
Spurgeon's Comments
on Kitto: "Then, of course, gentlemen, you will economize
rigidly until you have accumulated funds to purchase Kitto's
Pictorial Bible. You mean to take that goodly freight on board
before you launch upon the sea of married life. As you cannot visit
the Holy Land, it is well for you that there is a work like the
Pictorial Bible, in which the notes of the most observant travellers
are arranged under the texts which they illustrate. For the
geography, zoology, botany, and manners and customs of Palestine,
this will be your counselor and guide....A work of art as well as
Spurgeon comments-"Should always be
consulted...Exceeding meritorious. Refer to it frequently....They are
not exactly a commentary, but what marvelous expositions you have
there! You have reading more interesting than any novel that was ever
written, and as instructive as the heaviest theology. The matter is
quite attractive and fascinating, and yet so weighty, that the man who
shall study these volumes thoroughly, will not fail to read his Bible
intelligently and with growing interest."

Spurgeon's Comments
on Lange's Series: "These volumes are not all of equal value,
but as a whole, they are a grand addition to our stores. The
American translators have added considerably to the German work, and
in some cases these additions are more valuable than the original
matter. For homiletical purposes these volumes are so many hills of
gold, but, alas, there is dross also, for Baptismal Regeneration and
other grave errors occur....We are very far from endorsing all

"BATTLEFIELD GUIDES" Bergville Local Custom Tip by mtncorg
Bergville Local Customs: 1 reviews and 2 photos
I must say that I would rather explore a battlefield on my own with a little pre and post reading to guide my efforts. If you read the relevant chapter in Thomas Pakenham?s ?The Boer War? and use the self-guided trail map you should be able to make sense of the dry grassy mountain top. I have read in some of the guidebooks that so little remains on the battlefields here in KwaZulu Natal - Majuba, Isandlwana, Spion Kop - just a few graves and a couple memorials. But one has to remember these battles were never large affairs on the scale of the horrors that were to occur a little latter in Europe. The emptiness of the battlefields speak volumes by themselves. Still, to make it easier for the visitor, just like in Europe and at American Civil War sites, experienced guides can be employed to give you more of a sense of what happened, where and why. Some of the guides dress up in military regalia leading to the theatrics of their tour. I imagine that being licensed, most guides are knowledgeable in the sites that they show you - I would still think if you want to go to the expense of hiring a guide you would want to study up on a site before going through. The only other people up on Spion Kop hired a guide to help them understand the battle better and with the little I overheard, they should have come off the site with a much better sense of the battlefield.

Mighty River Power Development Projects Update
13 June 2012
Mighty River Power has today released an update of its key development projects, both domestic and international. Securing economically attractive development options and developing these when appropriate continues to be the key focus of our business development strategy.
Geothermal represents 0.3% of generation globally but is growing strongly as many companies look to expand their domestic electricity generation from renewable sources. Through its investment in GGE the Company has built a platform for international geothermal growth, which leverages its experience and rare competencies in this global niche.
Mighty River Power continues to progress domestic options to ensure we are well-placed to take them forward when market conditions support the investment case.
Domestic developments
The Ngatamariki Geothermal Power Station is a $466 million, 82MW development. The project received resource consent in May 2010 and construction commenced in July 2011. Two injection wells and two production wells have been completed, along with civil and earthworks for the power station. A third injection well is underway. Drilling of the second deep injection well brought some challenges for the project team, but these challenges remain within project contingency.
The total project cost of $466 million includes:
pre-construction costs (exploration drilling, consenting and reservoir modelling) of $65 million;
costs incurred since the start of construction of $164 million;
capitalised interest of $56 million; and
a contingency estimate as appropriate for greenfield developments.
The Ngatamariki project presents an attractive business case with a real long run marginal cost that is less than market estimates of $80 - $85/MWh. The planned infrastructure also allows for a low marginal cost expansion in the future.
The next significant milestone for Ngatamariki is the completion of planned injection capacity. The project remains within budget and on track for commissioning in mid-2013.
Puketoi Wind Farm
In August 2011 Mighty River Power lodged resource consent applications for a 53-turbine 326MW wind farm in the Puketoi Ranges, south of Dannevirke. This project has progressed through a public hearing and a decision on the awarding of consents is now imminent.
Te ia a Tutea
Mighty River Power has signed a joint-development agreement with Okere Incorporation and Ruahine & Kuharua Incorporation for the investigation and development of a geothermal power station on the Taheke field, northeast of Rotorua. The agreement enables initial exploration of the resource and, subject to consenting arrangements, exploration drilling is expected to start on the field within the next 12 months.
International developments
Hudson Ranch, California, United States
The 49.9MW John L Featherstone plant (previously known as Hudson Ranch I) on the Salton Sea reservoir in California was formally opened in May 2012 and is the first of Mighty River Power's international geothermal developments to move into commercial operation.
Through the GeoGlobal Partners I Fund (GGE Fund) Mighty River Power has invested US$92 million for a majority share in the US$400 million project, which is owned by EnergySource. Post-construction project refinancing is underway.
GGE's investment not only provided equity to develop the power station, but also secured a 20% shareholding in EnergySource, which will allow Mighty River Power, through GGE, to participate in other nearby developments.
EnergySource has recently announced a second 49.9MW development – named Hudson Ranch II - on an adjacent site. A power purchase arrangement has been signed with Salt River Project in respect of this future development. Salt River Project - an AA1/AA (Moody/S&P) rated Arizona utility with 900,000 customers in the region – is the purchaser of output from the John L Featherstone plant. Drilling on Hudson Ranch II is planned to start in July this year, and construction in late 2013.
Tolhuaca, Chile
Positive progress has been made on the Tolhuaca geothermal project in southern Chile, with drilling on two production-scale wells now completed. The second well was completed on schedule and under budget, following delays in drilling the first well in winter 2011. The next step in the project is to test wells for temperature and flow, which we expect to be completed before summer.
Weilheim, Germany
Surface testing on the Weilheim prospect is largely complete, and we are now awaiting permits to enable drilling. Surface testing and planning are also underway on four concessions acquired in 2011.

Meet With EFF Attorneys in Las Vegas to Discuss Your Security Research
Thousands of security researchers, information security professionals and hackers descend on Las Vegas each summer for a trio of conferences: Black Hat USA, DEF CON, and BSides Las Vegas. We launched our Coders' Rights Project at Black Hat four years ago to help programmers and developers navigate the murky laws surrounding security research. Every year since then, our attorneys have been on hand in Las Vegas to provide legal information on reverse engineering, vulnerability reporting, copyright law, free speech, and more, and we're thrilled to return again this summer.
If you'd like to make an appointment to speak with EFF attorneys at Black Hat, DEFCON or BSides Las Vegas, contact us by Wednesday, July 18, with the name of the conference in the subject line. If we can't assist you for any reason, we'll make every effort to put you in touch with a lawyer who can.

text: Dana Wright began her career in television as a summer intern at WIBW-TV in 1995. She was eager to get started but remembers during her first story assignment, she had no idea what to do with the microphone she was using to interview a local teacher. She describes herself as being "really green and really, really bad". Following the internship, she began working weekends and, not long after that, began anchoring the morning news. She was then promoted to anchor the evening news, and eventually obtained a reporter/anchor position with KCTV-5 in Kansas City. Dana's been with KCTV for 7 years, now anchoring the 4pm to 5pm hour of early evening news. She reports during the 5 pm and 6 pm newscasts and hosts the weekly political and community affairs program "Your Kansas City". And she works in the station's award-winning investigative unit. Dana grew up in Topeka and graduated from the University of Kansas. She and her husband, Joe, have four children.

Seven clever stories answer one simple question: what's in the box?
Funny, fantastic, spooky, and suspenseful, each of these unique and beautifully illustrated short graphic works revolves around a central theme: a mysterious box and the marvels or mayhem inside. Artists include middle school favorites Kazu Kibuishi, Raina Telgemeier ("Smile"), and Dave Roman ("Astronaut Academy"), as well as Jason Caffoe, Stuart Livingston, Johane Matte, Rad Sechrist (all contributors to the groundbreaking comics anthology series "Flight"), and upcoming artist Emily Carroll.
Praise for "Explorer: Mystery Boxes"
"An outstanding out-of-the box anthology from renowned comics veteran Kibuishi. With eye-popping full-color art and palettes ranging from candy-colored to ethereal earth tones, this is both a visual feast for the eyes and a healthy helping of thought for the soul. Superb.
"Kirkus Reviews," starred review
"Coherent for all its variety, there will be something here for most readers."
"School Library Journal," starred review
"This standout anthology will leave its audience with a fresh appetite for more from both the series and the individual contributors."
"The Horn Book"
"Award-winning comics creator and editor of the celebrated Flight anthologies, Kibuishi offers yet another great anthology geared toward middle-school readers. Always clever and never boring, these diverse stories run the gamut from creepy to sarcastic to witty to cute to Zen to wacky to thoughtful. While the pieces feature different artists and styles, each one is complete and so well composed that the transitions from one to another do not seem jarring or out of place. A great introductory title for young or struggling middleschool readers starting to explore the world of graphic novels."
About the Author
Kazu Kibuishi was 24 years old and working full-time in the animation industry when he began developing the idea of doing "Flight," He began contacting his friends in the animation, comics, and graphic novel world to see if they would want to join the project. Little did he know that it would draw him into comics full-time. He now works from his home studio in Pasadena, California, creating and promoting "Flight" and his popular young adult comic "Daisy Kutter," which was nominated as an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults -- the only graphic novel on the list in 2005.

Man denies leaving scene of a crashOctober 01,2013Man denies leaving
scene of a crash
A Rutland man denied charges of leaving the scene of a crash after police said they found his cellphone in the crashed vehicle.
Shayne T. Barrett, 23, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of careless or negligent operation of a vehicle and leaving the scene of a crash.
The charges are both misdemeanors and carry a combined maximum penalty of three years in prison.
On the evening of Aug. 17, according to affidavits filed with the court, Rutland City Police responded to Allen Street for a report of a vehicle striking a utility pole. When police responded, they found a crashed pickup and a damaged utility pole, but no driver, records state.
A search of the vehicle revealed empty beer cans, an opened bottle of Jim Beam bourbon whiskey and a cellphone belonging to Barrett, affidavits state.
Police later interviewed Barrett, who denied drinking prior to the crash and told police he had crashed while trying to answer his phone, and fled the scene because his vehicle was emitting smoke, according to court records.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a column by Scott Galupo of American Conservative magazine in which it was argued that Republican gains in this year's elections could be likened to a pair of "cement shoes."
Galupo said GOP "control of Congress depends, in many ultrasafe Republican districts and several deepest of deep red states, in part on fealty to conservative doctrine that will be problematic for the next GOP presidential contender."
The problem will stem in part from continued Republican opposition to immigration reform, Galupo said.

Marjorie Welish Archive
The Yale Collection of American Literature has acquired the literary archive of poet, painter, and art critic Marjorie Welish.
Welish is the author of several books of poetry, including The Annotated "Here" and Selected Poems, a finalist for the 2002 Academy of American Poets Lenore Marshall Prize.
Her creative and critical work was recently the subject of a conference at the University of Pennsylvania; many of the papers delivered there have been collected in Of the Diagram: the Work of Marjorie Welish. She has taught at Brown University, The New School University, Pratt Institute, and she was the Judith E. Wilson Poetry Fellow at Cambridge University in 2005.
The Marjorie Welish Papers include correspondence with Barbara Guest and Ann Lauterbach, whose papers are also at the Beinecke Library, as well as Michael Palmer, Carla Harryman, John Taggert, Maxine Chernoff, Rosmarie Waldrop, Barrett Watten, Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge, Tony Lopez, Gustaf Sobin, Charles Altieri, Marjorie Perloff, Robert Kelly, Trevor Winkfield, Norma Cole, Emmanuel Hocquard, Dominique Fourcade, Forrest Gander, and Rachel Blau DuPlessis, among many other writers and artists, curators, editors, art critics, and artists.
The archive also includes poetry, literary criticism, and art criticism manuscripts; notebooks and source documents; printed materials including books, journals, and ephemera documenting art and literature events and happenings in New York City.
This collection is open for research; a preliminary list of contents is available online at Marjorie Welish Papers. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Life itself doesn't have meaning, which should be created by ourselves.
Ok, so you have the piece of land...
But couldn't you have a natural feature -- mountain / sea / whatever -- on the land, and show in each of the levels, how that feature was used by humans -- you've then got a story thread in the image...
