“Have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice: The building was Solomon’s work, done in the power and inspiration of the Lord. The consecration of the building was God’s work. Solomon could build a building, but only God could hallow it with His presence.” (2 Chronicles 7:12–16)
“Azariah violated what had become a general principle in God’s dealing with Israel: that no king should also be a priest, and that the offices of prophet, priest, and king should not be combined in one man—until the Messiah, who fulfilled all three offices.” (2 Chronicles 26:16)
“For they said, ‘He is a leper’: This is a sad and somewhat unfortunate summation of a mostly great king of Judah; yet it shows the great expense and tragedy of not finishing well, and that late mistakes and scandals can color a whole lifetime or career.” (2 Chronicles 26:22–23)
“King Asa did more than remove the wrong; he also restored the right. This is an important part of any reform, and any time of renewal must be more than speaking out against the wrong. It must also take positive steps towards the good.” (2 Chronicles 15:8–9)
“Age and time do not necessarily make us better; they only do if we continue to follow God in faith.” (2 Chronicles 16:11–14)
