Commentary on 2 Kings 15:13

Theological / Devotional

A full month. Literally, “a month of days.” Shallum was a murderer, and by a murderer his blood was shed after only a month upon the throne. When men forsake the law of the Lord, life is not safe or happy for king or people. Men sensed the evils of the times, but they tried to correct evil with evil. As a result the situation went from bad to worse till the whole nation was engulfed in ruin.
