duh-MAS-kus
This place shows up in 2 Chronicles 24:23: “At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Chronicles 24:23
“At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.”
What kids can learn
When you hear damascus in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 24:23 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
