In 2 Kings 13-17 we continue the carousel of kings and violence in both Israel and Judah. Many different kings in both, and each with much failure. Ch 17 v 35-41 sums up the situation rather well, esp v 40. People would not listen and continued to follow old ways. They also worshipped idols.
No, I'm not talking about the USA, although it seems to apply. We also have forgotten our founding and principles that were the force of that founding. Like the times of the judges, everyone did what was right in their own eyes. We worship idols too. Where is the urgency for the Lord? Comfort is what we strive for, and security. We have become a caged lion, declawed.
