2 Chronicles 19-23
Judah goes through a series of wicked leaders who didn't keep God's commands or follow His ways. Instead, they followed the gods and ways of the nations around them, in opposition to the Lord. Naturally, God was not happy. In fact, His first inclination is to destroy the people of Judah. Yet, we read in 2 Chronicles 21:7, "Nevertheless, because of the covenant the Lord had made with David, the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David. He had promised to maintain a lamp for him and his descendants forever." There was a good king coming. Ultimately, the King of the universe would come through this line. The point is that God remains faithful, even when we aren't.
