2 Kings 10
Jehu slaughtered 70 sons of King Ahad. v11 So Jehu struck down all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, all his great men and his close friends and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
I can imagine the anger of the Lord. Surely some of his sons were innocent, but I believe the depth of the sins of following Baal that King Ahad had influence on his family.
v30 And the Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.”
Compare and contrast the promises God has for Jehu.
In the same way, Lord, I pray that you teach me how to remove the sins of my past, the sins of my forefathers, that they will have no curse on my next generations. During the get-away with Rachael, I have denounce some of them. I will continue to watch my walk, and walk with integrity. Forgive me my Lord. I pray that I will not be like Jehu in v31 But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart.
Likewise, I pray that I can leave to my fourth generations and Josef to his fourth generations, the blessings and promises of the Lord.
