2 Kings 11, 12, 2 Timothy 2, Hosea 3, 4, Psalm 119:121~144

 

2 Kings 11, 12,

1 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family.
 
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed.
 
3 He remained hidden with his nurse at the temple of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
 
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent for the commanders of units of a hundred, the Carites and the guards and had them brought to him at the temple of the LORD. He made a covenant with them and put them under oath at the temple of the LORD. Then he showed them the king's son.
 
5 He commanded them, saying, "This is what you are to do: You who are in the three companies that are going on duty on the Sabbath-a third of you guarding the royal palace,
 
6 a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple-
 
7 and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king.
 
8 Station yourselves around the king, each man with his weapon in his hand. Anyone who approaches your ranks must be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes."
 
9 The commanders of units of a hundred did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men-those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty-and came to Jehoiada the priest.
 
10 Then he gave the commanders the spears and shields that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of the LORD.
 
11 The guards, each with his weapon in his hand, stationed themselves around the king-near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
 
12 Jehoiada brought out the king's son and put the crown on him; he presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and shouted, "Long live the king!"
 
13 When Athaliah heard the noise made by the guards and the people, she went to the people at the temple of the LORD.
 
14 She looked and there was the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her robes and called out, "Treason! Treason!"
 
15 Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops: "Bring her out between the ranks and put to the sword anyone who follows her." For the priest had said, "She must not be put to death in the temple of the LORD."
 
16 So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
 
17 Jehoiada then made a covenant between the LORD and the king and people that they would be the LORD's people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
 
18 All the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Then Jehoiada the priest posted guards at the temple of the LORD.
 
19 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards and all the people of the land, and together they brought the king down from the temple of the LORD and went into the palace, entering by way of the gate of the guards. The king then took his place on the royal throne,
 
20 and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the palace.
 
21 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.


1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
 
2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
 
3 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
 
4 Joash said to the priests, "Collect all the money that is brought as sacred offerings to the temple of the LORD-the money collected in the census, the money received from personal vows and the money brought voluntarily to the temple.
 
5 Let every priest receive the money from one of the treasurers, and let it be used to repair whatever damage is found in the temple."
 
6 But by the twenty-third year of King Joash the priests still had not repaired the temple.
 
7 Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, "Why aren't you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple."
 
8 The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
 
9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the LORD. The priests who guarded the entrance put into the chest all the money that was brought to the temple of the LORD.
 
10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the LORD and put it into bags.
 
11 When the amount had been determined, they gave the money to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. With it they paid those who worked on the temple of the LORD-the carpenters and builders,
 
12 the masons and stonecutters. They purchased timber and dressed stone for the repair of the temple of the LORD, and met all the other expenses of restoring the temple.
 
13 The money brought into the temple was not spent for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets or any other articles of gold or silver for the temple of the LORD;
 
14 it was paid to the workmen, who used it to repair the temple.
 
15 They did not require an accounting from those to whom they gave the money to pay the workers, because they acted with complete honesty.
 
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the temple of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
 
17 About this time Hazael king of Aram went up and attacked Gath and captured it. Then he turned to attack Jerusalem.
 
18 But Joash king of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers-Jehoshaphat, Jehoram and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah-and the gifts he himself had dedicated and all the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of the LORD and of the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram, who then withdrew from Jerusalem.
 
19 As for the other events of the reign of Joash, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
 
20 His officials conspired against him and assassinated him at Beth Millo, on the road down to Silla.
 
21 The officials who murdered him were Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer. He died and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king.

 

 

2 Timothy 2,

1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
 
2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
 
3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
 
4 No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs-he wants to please his commanding officer.
 
5 Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules.
 
6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.
 
7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
 
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel,
 
9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
 
10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
 
11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
 
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
 
13 if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
 
14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
 
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
 
16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
 
17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
 
18 who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
 
19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
 
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble.
 
21 If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
 
22 Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
 
23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
 
24 And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
 
25 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
 
26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
 

    

 

Hosea 3, 4,

1 The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes."
 
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley.
 
3 Then I told her, "You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will live with you."
 
4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or idol.
 
5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.
 

    
1 Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.
 
2 There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
 
3 Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying.
 
4 "But let no man bring a charge, let no man accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
 
5 You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother-
 
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
 
7 The more the priests increased, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their Glory for something disgraceful.
 
8 They feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness.
 
9 And it will be: Like people, like priests. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
 
10 "They will eat but not have enough; they will engage in prostitution but not increase, because they have deserted the LORD to give themselves
 
11 to prostitution, to old wine and new, which take away the understanding
 
12 of my people. They consult a wooden idol and are answered by a stick of wood. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God.
 
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar and terebinth, where the shade is pleasant. Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
 
14 "I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes-a people without understanding will come to ruin!
 
15 "Though you commit adultery, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. "Do not go to Gilgal; do not go up to Beth Aven. And do not swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives!'
 
16 The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs in a meadow?
 
17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
 
18 Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways.
 
19 A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.

 


Psalm 119:121~144

121 I have done what is righteous and just; do not leave me to my oppressors.
 
122 Ensure your servant's well-being; let not the arrogant oppress me.
 
123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.
 
124 Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.
 
125 I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.
 
126 It is time for you to act, O LORD; your law is being broken.
 
127 Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,
 
128 and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.
 
129 Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.
 
130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
 
131 I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.
 
132 Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.
 
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
 
134 Redeem me from the oppression of men, that I may obey your precepts.
 
135 Make your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees.
 
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.
 
137 Righteous are you, O LORD, and your laws are right.
 
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.
 
139 My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.
 
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
 
141 Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.
 
142 Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.
 
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight.
 
144 Your statutes are forever right; give me understanding that I may live.
