As we’ve studied our way through the Bible we took at week to look at the king of Israel.
The week before we studied this in class I sent the kids home with a “King of Israel Trading card,” with a reference for the king they were given.
As the kids read through all of the kings they noticed a trend.
Not a single one of these kings was good. Every single king of Northern Israel was bad. There was one or two who wasn’t all the way evil, but pretty much all of them had something horrible they did.
We also learned that God does not always punish evil the way we think He should. Some of these men died of old age in their beds. Others were killed by assassination.
But the thing they all had in common? You can learn something from each of them. Even with the worst king you can imagine, God was able to work within the situation to continue His PLAN.

I love your king trading cards!
Thanks. I’m still coloring them, so I shared the black and white version. Also, I need to work out kinks in the color one because the name just blends in with the color version.
What great cards! I like the black and white version because my kids always love to color! Thanks for linking up this week to my Enchanted Thursdays Blog Hop!
My kids love to color too.
I just read 2 Kings today, and was thinking it would be good to put something like this up for the kids – thanks for doing all the work for me – this is great!
You’re welcome! My Sunday School class found it fun, so I’m betting your kids will too.
Too funny that the Bible is full of examples of bad rulers. History has this tendency to repeat itself.
It certainly does. The rather depressing thing is the LARGE numbers of bad rulers throughout the Bible and history.
