⭐ 2 Chronicles 26

2 Chronicles 26 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.” 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, “The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.” 2 Chronicles 26 opens with these words: “All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 26:5: “He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.” Carry the word “himself” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 26:5: “He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Chronicles 26? Then try this: Read “He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long…” 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.
