Lesson Overview

Scripture Text: 2 Kings 15:1-7; 32-38; 2 Chronicles 26:1-27:9
Estimated Date: 790 – 732 B.C.

Synopsis: The story of Uzziah, like the story of Nadab and Abihu, teaches us the importance of showing reverence to God in worship and being humble in His presence. The pride of Uzziah led him to disobey God’s command. God was able to humble him and teach him about the proper respect for God. His son, Jotham, achieved great things, but didn’t follow his father’s foolish sin.
