- -Forty-els years intervened be
tween the events of the last lesson
and those in the beginning of this.
Jeroboam reigned twenty-two
years , during the latter part of
which , Asa. the grandson ot Keho >
-boain , came to the throne ot Judah
and reigned forty-one years. During
all hif. reigo Israel was in a moat
unsettled state , and there were lour
different dynasties Jeroboam's ,
Baasha's , „ Zonri's and Omri's.
Much of the time there was war be.
tween Judah an d Israel. Jeroboam
changed his capital from Hhechem
-to Tluzah. 1 Kings , 14:17. :
EXPLANATORY.
Verse 23. "Itiirty-firat year of
Asa. " This was the forty-seventh
f year of the divided kingdom. Ata
WAS Behoboam's grandson. "Om
ri" 2Cnron 2i2. : Nadar , in the
second year of Asa , succeeded Jeroboam -
beam to the throne of Israel and
.reigned nearly two years. He was
slain by Baaaba , of the tribe of Is-
fiaeher. at the siege of Qlbbethon ,
end the same year made himself
'king. He utterly destioyed the
house of Jeroboam and reigned
twenty years. Elan , the sou of
Baasha , succeeds his father. Zimri ,
one of the captains , conspires
against him and Killa him and bll
the family of Baacha. The royal
army was in two divisions , andOm-
ri was the otber captain , and in the
royal line he was accordingly cnosen
king by his army , and he marched
against Zimri , the usurper , who fled
. and perisaed in the flames of his
harem. Omrl reignned over Israel
twelve years.
Verse 2 * . "Bought the Hill Sa
maria. " Zlmii had burned the roy
al palace at Tirgah and Omri chose
the hill Hamaria lor his residence.
Thl % was six miles from Sheohem.
ana combined strength , beauty and
fertility. The palace was built of
hewn stone and cedar. He paid
Shemsir for the eight $3,000 with
the cendition that the name should
not be changed.
VEHSB 25. "Omri wrought evil"
. ,2d Chron. 13:32 : 2d Kings , 17:24
John 4:4. In tba eyes of the Lord
his conduct on tbe thorno was
worse than all the kings before him
Omri means rebellion he was a
gross idolater , MJchah. 1:16. He
reduced calf worship to a system
which went down to posterity. Jer
oboam made Israel to sin by exam
ple and temptation , Omri by com
pulsion. He brought about a mar
riage between Ahab his eon and
heir and Jezebel daughter of the
ting of Tyre. Verse 19:13.
VERSE 27. "Acts of Omn. " Om
ri was enterprising and prudent and
secured prosperity to the kingdom ,
he greatly furthered trade and com
merce. " Book of the Chronicles. "
Not the Canonical books , but a
record not In any Bible , written by
some au'horized person , 1st Kings ,
22:8-21 : Kings , 14:25. :
VERSE 27. "Ahab the ton of Om
ri. " A weak man , overborne by
the powertul will of a woman. He
was brave In battle , and perished
fighting valiantly in battle at
Kamoth-Gilead. He had a palace
of ivory , and founded several cities.
His outward magnificence was
dimmed Dy a darker suadow of in
iquity than that which fell on the
glory of any of his predecessors.
VERSE 30. "Evil above all. " He
made no alteration in the conduct
of the kings , bis predecessors. The
king had about him msnv priests of
Uael and false prophets. He Inaug
urated a new species of iniquity for
.be adjured Jehovah and entirely
repudiated his relation to Israel ,
tet up for worship Bael and Ashto-
rath , the two devotes of ttie Bldoni-
ans. The adoption of this worship
was a total apostasy to Jehavau and
a return to the ancient Idolatry of
the land , so he did worse than all
" who had gone before him. V. 33.
Verse 31. "Jezebil. " Ababis the
first of the northern Kings who
practiced polygamy ; his first and
chief wife , was oue of tbe old ao *
cursed Canaauitish race , a daughter
of Kth baal , King of Tyre ; with this
marriage a new Influence , like poi
son transformed tbe King as into
another person. Jezebil had no
womanly relenting , her great ambi
tion was the extermination of Jebo-
rah's prophets. Her portrait ( Shakes
peare drew in Lady Macbeth. Her
husband , a pliant tool , ana she Jez- _
ebil to the end , mocking conquarer
beneath whose chariot wheels she
is crashed to death.
"Eth-baal" was the great grand
father of Pygmalion , and of Dido ,
founder of Oarthage , whose story
is told by Virgil in his } ueid.
" .Km0 of Zidonians , " ulsoKingof
Tyre , the people of both cities col.
lectlvely are called in scripture ZU
donians. ( Judges 18-7.
"Served Baal" ( lot Kings , 21-25-
26. ) Master , .Lord , or husband.
Very often Baal was a representa
tive of tbe sun. .N o human sacrifices
or swine were offered to him , and
the fire constantly burned upon his
altar. -
Verse 32. "juouteof Baalin tarn-
ana " Ic was large enough to con
tain all the worshippers of his
northern kingdom. Four hundred
ana fifty prophets frequented it. In
the interior was an inner secret
apartment in which was seated or
raised on pillars their deities ; In the
the ' ' " Baal
centre was 'bun-god" ;
around him were the Inferior dei-
ties. In front of the temple on a
, etone pillar stood the figure of Baal
' alone.
Verse 83 "Ahab made a grove. "
2 Kings , 13:6-17:10-21:3-Jer : , 17:1-2.
tin olden times alters were only
erected to tbe Gods. Itwas , thought
wrong to shut up the Gods within
-walls , and hence trees were the first
temples. Their high antiquity , re
freshing ahade ; solemnjdlence.and
awe-inspiring solitude , marked
them out as ntlocslitles , or objects
of worship. . * Tnere was a darker
reason ; they were opportune , for
the degraded Eervices of idolatry as
then- shadow had the atrocl * les and
obscenities of heathen worship.
Verse 30 , Chap. 21:25. It
Veree34 "In hit dayt didHiel , Itru
the BttheUtis , buKd up Jericho. " rues
Josh. 6:26. L e , In the days of esa
Ahab. The curse was as predicted : esPi
his eldest son died at the laying of Pi
the foundation , and his youngest at PiC
tbe completion ot the work ; he (
probably los < all his sons in rapid $3
succession. There was the corse $3FJ
fulfilled more than five hundred FJ
years after it was uttered. Jericho FJB
was doubtless inhabited , but the B ;
rebuilding of tbe miraculously demolished
e\
molished walls1 was'alone 'prohibit eth
ed' 2 Bam. 10:5. Jericho law thBi
within the territory of Israel , and Bi
the unresisted act of Hiel affords a
p inful evdence of the lost condi-
.faon of Israel and their disrespect 46
and deflanca of Jehovah. .No onu I 46Pi

II. "Omri wrought -evil pro
voked the Lord. " When Necepho
nes Phocaa 1 < ! built a wall abou
his palace fo : jji- > own security , it
the night time he heard a volc <
crying * out to him , "O Emperor
though thy wall be as high as the
clouds , yet if sin be within it wil
overthrow-all : " ,
II. ? A gentleman had a talk with
a wicked man. "You do not loot
as if you had prospered by youi
wickedness,1' said the gentleman. .
"I haven't ' prospered at all , " sale
the man feelingly , it Is business thai
don't pay. Tf I had given half the
time and energy to some honest call ,
ing which I have spent in trying to
get a living without work , 1 might
bave been now a man of property
and character instead of the home
less wretch I am. I tell you my
worst punishment is in being what
I am. "
Ill Ahab did evil , and went and
served other God * . " Wilmot , the
infidel , when dying , laid his trem
bling , emaciated hand upon the sa
cred volume , and exclaimed sol
emnly and with unwonted energy ,
"The only objection against this
book is a bad life. "
IV. "He took to wife Jezebel , and
went and served Baal. " A dove
endeavoring to fly upward with a
broken..wing , leaps , flatters , rises a
little way , and then wearied drops
back to the ground. If both wings
co-operate , theu it mounts easily.
PRACTICAL.
1. Learn the insldeous power ot
error and guard against it.
2. The tendency of sin Is to grow
worse and worse.
3. Making light of little sins ,
makes way for greater , and they
tnst attempt to extenuate otber
people's will but aggravate their
own.
4. Ahab's whole life Is mournful
illustration ol resisted and scornfu
warnings , slighted messages of re
monstrance and mercy. The God
he rejected strove with him to tbe
last.
5. Heil lived in Bethel. Like
Jiiot and Rodam , men ate contami
nated by their surroundings and
companions.
6. God's curses are severe ; the
hardened heat t never prospered.

FACTS FOR
BUSINESS MM WHO ADVERTISE
TO CONSIDER.
Business men who advertise will do well
to look at the subjoined statement of cir
culation of TH Bn , November 1. 1876.
Merchants advertise in newspapers to reach
the people. It therefore pays to investi
gate and ascertain the best medium to ac
complish that result. The circulation of
THX BEK Is larger than that of any paper in
the trans-Missouri country , excepting Ban
Francisco journals One additional fact
worthy of note : TBK BEK is not merely a
local or State paper , but
A NATIONAL JOURNAL.
Its constantly increasing subscription list
embraces persons in nearly every State and
Territory in the Union. Th great difficulty
in ostablithing newspapers is met in secur
ing the first three thousand subscribers.
WHen" Qjitliumbor is once reached , the list
rolls np at a rapid rate. Its news becomes
more varied and of general interest , and Its
advocatetrhelp to increase Its subscription
list by thousands as readily as its agenta se
cure hundreds at the beginning.
Nebraska is one of the largest States in
the Union. Many of its counties are inac
