There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why kings would be good or bad. A good king would have a bad son and a bad king would have a good son. It doesn’t make sense. It’s as if God was highlighting the fact that he offers free choice to each of us.
Parents must make it a priority to raise children that will serve the Lord and receive His favor and benefits. A healthy free will can be cultivated in the home in their early years.
