ELAH, KING OF ISRAEL
Elah the son of Baasha reigned for 2 years in Israel. He was
assassinated by his servant Zimri after he got drunk.
LESSON
a) It is not for kings to get drunk.
b) What goes round will come around. Baasha,
Elah’s father assassinated nadab to become king, Elah his son was also
assassinated.
ZIMRI KIGN OF ISRAEL
Zimri not only assassinated Elah, he also destroyed every member of
Baasha’s family as prophesied by Jehu the prophet. Zimri also did evil in the
sight of God and he reigned for 7 days in Turzah. The people what he did , they
therefore reacted by making Omri captain of the host king over Israel. Zimri
committed suicide by burning the palace over himself before the people could
get him.
LESSON
a) Every leader will reap whatever he sows and
sometimes the reaping may be quite fast.
OMRI KING OF ISRAEL
Omri reigned for 12 years after the kingdom ere bect divided
was consolidated under him. He also did evil in the sight of the Lord and was worse
than the kings before him. He brought and built Samaria, he promoted vanity
among his people.
LESSON
a) Just like David reign became a reference
point for good and God fearing leadership, Jeroboam also became a reference
point for bad leadership.
