Family Values in 2 Chronicles

  1. Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines. Once again, if silence implies consent, then God must approve of such arrangements. 11:21

  2. "But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives." Apparently, in the eyes of God, a man's status is determined by the number of wives that he possesses. 13:21

  3. "Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." 15:13

  4. God inspired Jehoram's enemies to steal his wives and children. Then he made Jehoram so sick that his bowels fell out. 21:14-19

  5. "Jehoiada took for him two wives" -- without comment, complaint, or criticism from the bible. 24:3

  6. The Israelites enslave 200,000 women and children "because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers." 28:6, 8

  7. God gets angry with his people, so he sends the king of the Chaldees to kill all the "young men with the sword." He has compassion for no one, not even old men that are "stooped for age." In his tender mercy and loving kindness he has them all slaughtered. 36:16-17
