Half of them were murdered in one chapter of the Bible \u2013 our chapter (10, 14, 25, 30).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four kings and one queen of Judah were murdered too: Ahaziah, Athaliah, Joash, Amaziah and Amon. But the stories about their regicides are scattered throughout five chapters (2 Kings 9, 27; 11, 16; 12, 22; 14, 19; 21, 23).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our chapter tells not only about four regicides but also about three kings that died naturally: Kings Azariah and Jotham of Judah and King Menahem of Israel (7, 22, 38).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems that the more the kings that are murdered, the nearer the end of the kingdom itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually not long after the 8th regicide took place in the northern kingdom of Israel, the kingdom lost its freedom. The king (that committed the murder) was prisoned by the Assyrian King and its citizens were deported to Assyria (2 Kings 17, 3-6).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":64111,"id":64111,"title":"2kings15-regicide","filename":"2kings15-regicide.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2kings15-regicide.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/more-regicides-than-ever\/2kings15-regicide\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"2kings15-regicide","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":64084,"date":"2019-10-06
