TSK · 2 Chronicles 36:13

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

You are still exalting yourself against my people by not releasing them.

Joshua made a peace treaty with them and agreed to let them live. The leaders of the community sealed it with an oath.

So the king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke with them.(Now the Gibeonites were not descendants of Israel; they were a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had made a promise to them, but Saul tried to kill them because of his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.)

What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the LORD’s anger; he finally threw them out of his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Now, don’t be stubborn like your fathers! Submit to the LORD and come to his sanctuary which he has permanently consecrated. Serve the LORD your God so that he might relent from his raging anger.

“But they– our ancestors– behaved presumptuously; they rebelled and did not obey your commandments.

And you solemnly admonished them in order to return them to your law, but they behaved presumptuously and did not obey your commandments. They sinned against your ordinances– those by which an individual, if he obeys them, will live. They boldly turned from you; they rebelled and did not obey.

I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.

Then LORD’s message came to me:

“Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.
