| The Ban: If it breaths, kill it. If it burns, burn it. If it neither breaths nor burns, give it to God. It is a holy war. The spoils are consecrated. This is judgment, not murder. |

| From peace. Ironic. Came to power in a storm. He was more like the kings around them instead of a king of Israel. His reign was the high point of Israel's glory. Renowned as the "father of wisdom" in Israel. As David had been the model king, Solomon became the model of how not to be king. It was wrong to use the kingship for the king, it needed to be used for God. |

| Likely the first prophet to write anything down. He was from Judah, but preached to Israel. He was thought a traitor, smart mouthed the high priest, and (according to tradition) got killed. During his time there was "face" worship and idolatry. He spoke for social justice. He spoke against "health and wealth" gospel. The grade book is lacking. And you're not special! |

| From Israel to Israel. He was not critical, he was heartbroken. Children are Jezreel, Not-Loved, and Not-Mine. Israel had become so disobedient he didn't even know he had done wrong. Hosea is not like Amos. He doesn’t speak from an objective position. He speak to his own people. He speaks from his heart. But Israel will be completely wiped out. |

| Same time as Isaiah, but different background. Message much like Amos: social justice, nominal faith. |

| Unlike Amos, Isaiah can demand an audience with the king and he gets it. Maybe he was a court prophet. He understands Judah’s foreign policy. Repent and make sure nobody repents. |

| One of two completely good kings of Judah. He reinstated Passover. Due to Isaiah's prophesy, he stayed put instead of joining a rebellion against Assyria. Sure enough, it turned out well. Then, under Sennacherib, he rebels. He spends 4 years preparing, but still looses. Isaiah speaks against his preparations. |
