🌊 2 Chronicles 13

2 Chronicles 13 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”” 2 Chronicles 13 opens with these words: “In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 13:16: “The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.” Carry the word “children” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 13:16: “The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Chronicles 13? Then try this: Read “The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
