2. Kongebok 15,2
1 I det tjuesjuende året til Jeroboam, Israels konge, begynte Asarja, sønn av Amasja, Judas konge, å regjere.
Han var seksten år gammel da han begynte å regjere, og han regjerte i femtito år i Jerusalem; hans mor var Jekolja fra Jerusalem.
3 Han gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne, etter sin far Amasjas eksempel.
4 Men offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket fortsatte å ofre og brenne røkelse på disse haugene.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
