After King Joash, the Southern Kingdom was ruled by his son Amaziah; by Amaziah’s son, Uzziah; by Uzziah’s son, Jotham; by Jotham’s son, Ahaz; and, by Ahaz’s son, Hezekiah.

One of the saddest scriptures in the Bible is about Amaziah. “He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly.” Eventually, he abandoned the Lord completely.

Uzziah started off well, like his father had done. Also like his father, he eventually let his pride lead to his downfall. God punished him by making him a leper.

Jotham was a king who acted faithfully before God. However, he did not stop the people from worshiping false gods.

Ahaz was an evil king who worshiped false gods and led the people to worship them, too.. God punished him by letting his enemies defeat him in battle.

Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king and immediately began cleansing the Southern Kingdom of its idols and places of worship to false gods. He reestablished worship of God at the Temple.
