Quote:If you open your Bible to 1st and 2nd Kings. You will see the amount of 'good' kings being rather small compared to all the 'bad' kings.


There is precious little archaeological evidence for most of them. There are Assyrian references to Amon, Hezekiah and Manessah and a Babylonian reference to Jehoiachin and Zedekiah. There is a probable reference to Ahaz(iah?) in the Tel Dan Stele. Other than that, there isn't much out there.

One school of thought is that the 'good' kings were the ones who tried to assert Judahite independence ( and got their asses kicked for their trouble ) while the bad kings were content to rule as toadies of the Assyrians. How come 'god' didn't help them out? Guess he didn't give a shit.
