scorpion in 2 Chronicles 10
SKOR-pee-un
This creature shows up in 2 Chronicles 10:11: “Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
2 Chronicles 10:11
“Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’””
What kids can learn
When you hear scorpion in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 10:11 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
