📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Jehoash, son of Jehoshaphat, rules Judah during a time of military success, capturing Aram and amassing great wealth. Yet he turns to idolatry, neglecting his God, and his brothers kill him for his sins. The chapter shows how prosperity can lead to moral failure and how the nation suffers because of it.
