Jeremiah 17:5: "Thus saith the Lord, Damn is the man who trusts in man, who makes the flesh his arm and whose heart he moves away from the Lord." This verse talks about the importance of trusting God and not in men. This can be applied to the story of 2 Kings 15, where some kings have trusted political alliances or their own strength rather than depending on God.

Proverbs 16:18: "Superb precedes ruin, and the haughtiness of the Spirit precedes the fall." This verse talks about how arrogance and pride can lead to destruction. It is possible to apply this to the history of Menáem, which ruled with cruelty and violence, and also to other leaders who were punished for their arrogance.

Psalm 146:3: "Do not trust princes, or the children of men, in whom there is no salvation." This verse also talks about the importance of trusting God and not in men. It can be applied to the story of 2 Kings 15, where many leaders have trusted their own skills and not God.

Hosea 10:13: "Wow the earth not drawn up, for it is time to seek the Lord until it comes and rains justice upon you." This verse talks about the need to seek God's righteousness and will. It can be applied to the history of 2 Kings 15, where some leaders did not seek God's will, but ruled with violence and cruelty.

2 Chronicles 27:6: "Joton became powerful, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God." This verse talks about the importance of seeking God's will and preparing the way for Him. It can be applied to the story of 2 Kings 15, where some kings did evil before the Lord, while others sought justice and God's will.
