1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Let us pray. And they withstood Usiah the king, and said,

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: unto him, it appeareth not unto thee Eusiah to burn incense,

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: unto the Lord, but to the priests the son of

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Erin that are consecrated to burn incense, go out of

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed. Neither shall it be

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: for thine honor from the Lord God, Second Chronicles, twenty

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: six eighteen. Lord, through all the stories of these great kings,

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: one thing remains seen and heard through all of the scriptures,

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: the pride and the arrogance that can come with influence

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: and increase. With this before me, I thank you, Lord

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: for protecting me against the arrogance that can come from

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: hitting my goals and achieving success. May my heart remain

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: steadfast and focused on abiding in your presence and seeking

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: your face. I confess that honor and respect will be

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: major pillars when it comes to honoring you and those

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: you've intrusted to carry out your way. Lord, let me

17
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: never walk around like King Euziah, believing that I am

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: better than others than that your word doesn't apply to me.

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: Let my actions and intentions be in sync with your

20
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: principles I declare that my mind is alert and my

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: eyes are open, so that I will not fall, but

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: will rise when you open the door to increase and

23
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: influence in Jesus name. Amen. Listening to these daily prayers

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the Lord

25
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: by listening to to day's Bible in a Year, brought

27
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: A great King's downfall. In our last story, we learned

28
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: about the rule of Amaziah. He defeated a great threat,

29
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: but grew arrogant and pompous. The Lord humbled Amasiah in

30
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: the battle against Israel. He was shamed in front of

31
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: his people and died in exile. Now we learn about

32
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: one of the greatest kings Judah has ever known. This

33
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: king mirrored many qualities that made David and Solomon great.

34
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: He was inventive, courageous, and noble. However, his name grew

35
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: too great for his own fragile heart to handle. Inspired

36
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: by the Book of Second Chronicles.

37
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: Hello, this is Jack Graham with today's episode of the

38
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our previous episode, we

39
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: heard about King Ameziah's downfall. Though he at first sought

40
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: to follow God and trust him. His wavering faith opened

41
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: the door to doubt, bitterness, and resentment. He stopped trusting

42
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: in God's goodness and turned to idols and self gratification. Ultimately,

43
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: he died in defeat and with a heart filled with resentment,

44
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: still clinging to the idols that had no real power

45
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: and no comfort for him. Today we'll learn of a

46
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: truly great king, a man who exhibited many of the

47
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: best traits of David and Solomon. But though he was

48
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: one of the great kings of Judah, he was also

49
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: a man prone to sin and filled with brokenness. Listen

50
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: now to God's word.

51
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: The people of God were desperate for a hero, a

52
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: symbol of faithfulness and a pillar of strength. They craved

53
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: a godly king. They longed for a man who would

54
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: lead as David once did, a man with strength and humility,

55
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: a man of courage and tact. They prayed desperately for

56
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: this king to arise. They believed that king to be

57
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: the young boy. Usiah, the son of Amaziah, was sixteen

58
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: when the elders came to him and anointed him as king.

59
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: His father had met a shameful demise, but there was

60
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: hope that Usiah would be different. He was a bright

61
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: young man. He was strong and had a good heart.

62
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: His mother, Jakolah, was wise and nurturing. Usiah was made

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: king at sixteen and immediately pursued God for wisdom and fortitude.

64
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: King Usiah did what was right in the sight of God.

65
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: He thought through the will and purposes behind God's law.

66
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: He studied kings before him and learned from their victories

67
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: and failures. He also leaned on a great council of

68
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: different men and women. He sought their guidance on all

69
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: political and military matters. The man he leaned on most

70
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: was Zechariah, the prophet. He instructed the young king on

71
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: how to fear and obey God. He guided him in

72
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: matters of the heart and soul, and taught him how

73
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: to seek wisdom and justice. As long as Usiah sought

74
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: the will of God, everything he did prospered. Uzziah was

75
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: not interested in the petty rivalry with Israel his father started.

76
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: He knew that the true threat was among the Philistines.

77
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: They had been secretly amassing a great army to raid Judah.

78
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: Usiah waged war against the enemination with the wisdom of

79
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: many commanders, behind him. He sent several attacks towards the

80
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: walls of Gaith. With each attack, the war grew weaker

81
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: and weaker. Usiah sent men in with battering rams to

82
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: slam against the walls. He would send archers to cover

83
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: the men from any fire. Soon the walls began to crumble.

84
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: The earth quaked as the stones fell to the floor.

85
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: The Philistines were exposed to Usiah's final attack against the city.

86
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 2: God gave Usiah favor, and he crushed the Philistines before

87
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: they could gather themselves. Husiah's victory and battle gained him

88
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: the respect and fear of other nations. The Ammonites gave

89
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: Usiah tribute and pledged their loyalty to him as king.

90
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: His fame spread even to the distant nation of Egypt.

91
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: Rumors of Usiah crushing the walls of Gaith single handedly

92
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: spread like wildfire. Although they were just rumors, they hinted

93
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: at a growing strength in the young king, but Usiah

94
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: knew it was the favor of God. After the Philistines

95
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: were defeated, Usiah moved on to his next concern, the

96
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: defenses of Jerusalem. He erected towers at each gate along

97
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: the wall. He also built towers in the wilderness beyond

98
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: Jerusalem to protect farm land and villages. King Huziah was

99
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: becoming a great warrior, but his real passion was for

100
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: farming and tending to the live stock, so he took

101
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: great care into making sure they were protected. Husaiah paid

102
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: much attention to his commanders and secretaries. He made sure

103
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: they were taken care of in not much time. King

104
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: Husiah even gained the loyalty of many might men in

105
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: the country. Two thousand, six hundred mighty men followed Usiah

106
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: into battle, more so than King David himself. Under those

107
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: men was an army of three hundred and seven thousand,

108
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: five hundred soldiers. They were well equipped and well fed.

109
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: The young king knew that in order to keep the

110
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: nation safe, he had to keep his army strong. Even

111
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: more important, they needed to love him. King Usiah had

112
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: an inquisitive mind. He tinkered with wolf steel, gears, and wheels.

113
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: He gathered skillful men who knew mathematics and engineering. Together

114
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 2: they invented machines to be placed on every tower. These

115
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: machines shot arrows and great stones at opposing forces. The

116
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: technology was advanced. Another line of defense was Usiah's reputation.

117
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Word of his weapons, armies, and towers spread. Usiah designed

118
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: a name for himself that would cause all of Judah's

119
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: enemies to fear. This, he knew, was the greatest weapon

120
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: of all. Stories of Usiah's power spread throughout the land.

121
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: His name was greatly feared, and his reputation painted him

122
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: almost as a god. These stories began to seep into

123
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: Usiah's heart. As he grew stronger, so did his pride. Eventually,

124
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Usiah saw himself above the law. One morning, Usiah entered

125
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: into the Temple of God to worship. However, he went

126
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: in without the pre prists. He strutted around the temple

127
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: halls as if he had built it himself. The king

128
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: entered into the temple and began to burn incense, accustom

129
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: only meant for priests. Azariah walked in with eighty of

130
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: his priests and saw what Usiah was doing. They gasped

131
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 2: at the king's arrogance. He knew that there was a

132
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: checks and balance between the priests and king. The king

133
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: was not to rule over the temple as well. You

134
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: should not be doing this, Azariah exclaimed. You should leave

135
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: here now. Doing this will not bring you honor from God.

136
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: Usiah rolled his neck back as he listened to the priest.

137
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: He was annoyed at them. He was about to respond

138
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: and anger when a strange tingling emerged on his forehead.

139
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: He felt light headed and feverish. He leaned against the altar,

140
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: trying to regain balance. Usiah grew fearful as he watched

141
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: the priests step back from him. Confused, Husiah grabbed a

142
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: silver ball and held it up at his face like

143
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: a rising tide. Usiah could see leprosy spreading across his forehead.

144
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: The priests rushed him out and took him to his chambers. There,

145
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: the king began to rot. His skin peeled back from

146
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: his face, his fingers and toes began to separate from

147
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: his body. A sharp pain was replaced by a dull

148
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: ache as his body decayed. For the rest of his days,

149
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: Usiah suffered as a leper. He died humbled by the

150
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: sovereignty of God. Usiah died shamefully, as did his father. However,

151
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: his son Jotham would not make the same mistakes. Jotham

152
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: was twenty five years old when he took the throne

153
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: after his father. He pursued God from beginning to end.

154
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: For sixteen years, Jotham tore down idols, built defenses, and

155
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: made allies. He grew into a mighty warrior and defeated

156
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: the Ammonites in battle. They paid trips than you to

157
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: him every second and third year. Jotham set a strong

158
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: and godly example for the rest of Judah. The nation

159
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: loved Usiah, but his son Jotham was the one to

160
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: truly finish well.

161
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: As we begin today's reading, Judah is without a king.

162
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: Amaziah had fled in disgrace to die in exile. The

163
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: elders looked then to his son Usiah, who was merely

164
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: a boy at age sixteen. Yet despite his youth, Usiah

165
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: possessed a desire for wisdom and a humility to seek

166
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 3: guidance from those who sought God. Usiah set immediately about

167
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: doing the Lord's business and leaned often on the prophet

168
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: Zechariah for God's guidance. It was a remarkable display of

169
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: maturity from one so young. Youth does not necessarily disqualify

170
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: someone from service, especially when a young person is mature

171
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: in the Lord and earnestly desires to seek God and

172
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: to know his ways, And because of Eusiah's dedication to

173
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: the Lord God prospered him. He gave the king victories

174
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: over the Philistines, the Arabians, and the Melionites. His renown

175
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: grew not only in Judah, but as far away as Egypt.

176
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: Prosperity was granted to Judah under King Eusiah, and his

177
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: military grew stronger and stronger. It seemed like everything the

178
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: king did was successful. Judah was functioning in many ways

179
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: as God had always intended, bringing glory to God throughout

180
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: the region. But today's passage then reminded us that when

181
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: success is that the greatest evil is around the corner,

182
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: and it often takes the form of pride. Listen to

183
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: what we read in Second Chronicles twenty six, verse sixteen.

184
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: But when he was strong, he grew proud to his destruction.

185
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: Pride it will take us out every time. Pride causes

186
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: us to believe that we are responsible for our success

187
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 3: rather than God, that we are self sufficient, and that

188
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: we are even above correction, and that we live with entitlement.

189
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: The Bible says God will not share his glory with another,

190
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: and pride takes away the glory that belongs to God

191
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: and God alone. In his pride, Usiah made a fateful era.

192
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: He entered the temple to the altar of incense. It

193
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: was a holy place, reserved for the priest. Even the

194
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: king was not allowed to enter, and Usiah knew this.

195
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 3: It wasn't an accident or an innocent mistake. This was

196
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: wilful disregard for God's law. To make matters worse. When

197
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: as Aiah, the priest went in and rebuked him, telling

198
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: him to leave lest he face God's judgment, Usiah did

199
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: not repent. Instead, he became indignant, how dare this priest

200
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: tell him what to do? God's judgment was swift, and

201
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: there in the temple leprosy broke out all over the

202
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: king's forehead. He had lost his sensitivity to the Lord's

203
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 3: leading and to God's law, and the numb leprous skin

204
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: was a visual reminder of this terrible fact. He lived

205
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: as a leper for the rest of his days, unable

206
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: to enter the Lord's house because he was now unclean.

207
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: Though he had been a great king and brought glory

208
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: to God for many years, he did not finish his

209
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: race well. He failed at the end and marred a

210
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: legacy that could have been truly remarkable. Usiah was succeeded

211
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: by his son Jotham, who reigned with righteousness, seeking God

212
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,239
Speaker 3: all his days. Unlike his father, Jotham served God faithfully

213
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: from start to finish. God, we thank you for so

214
