A reformer king of Judah who tore down idols — but trusted doctors over God at the end
open_in_newReigned 41 years in Judah and launched major religious reforms, removing idols and even deposing his own grandmother as queen mother because she made an idol (1 Kings 15:13). He relied on God early in his reign but later made an alliance with Syria instead of trusting the Lord. When he got a severe foot disease, he sought only physicians and not God (2 Chronicles 16:12). A cautionary tale about finishing strong.
