timber in 2 Chronicles 16
TIM-ber
This thing shows up in 2 Chronicles 16:6: “Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Rama, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Chronicles 16:6
“Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Rama, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear timber in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 16:6 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
