Intolerance in 2 Chronicles

  1. Solomon's Egyptian wife can't be around holy places. Is that because she is a woman or because she is an Egyptian, or both? 8:11

  2. Asa destroyed the temples of other gods and forbade their worship. 14:2-5

  3. "Nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity." 15:6

  4. Whoever that does not seek the God of Israel should be executed. 15:13

  5. Asa destroyed his mother's phallic imaage idol. 15:16

  6. Hate the sinner -- or God will pour his wrath out on you. 19:2

  7. Only Levites can enter "the house of the Lord". "Whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death." 23:6-7

  9. The priest (Jehoiada) tells the people to kill Athaliah and her followers. So they find her and kill her. "And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword." (Don't you just love happy endings?) 23:14-15, 21

  10. "Then all the people went to the house of Baal" and broke its altar into pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal. 23:17

  11. Amaziah (who "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord") killed 10,000 people; another 10,000 he left alive to throw off a cliff "that they all were broken in pieces." 25:1-2, 11-12

  12. God makes Uzziah a leper for burning incense without a license. 26:19-21
