17.8 The Kings of Judah

June 2008

The following is a chart of the kings of Judah, and their relation to the Covenant. Early in the list were four good kings, David, Solomon, Asa, and Jehoshaphat. These kings were good, but not perfect. Following this there were only two more good kings "Hezakiah and Josiah. All the rest were wicked and idolatrous, leading the nation deeper into apostasy until there was no remedy, and they were taken into captivity by Babylon.
