2 Chronicles 21-24

Jehoram became king and slew his brethren, God punishes him by giving him a bowel disease which kills him after two years.

Jehoram's son Ahab rules after his death, but Ahab is 2 years older than his father.

Ahab's mother Athaliah is a warrior queen, she destroys the people who kill Ahab and the rest of her family and then reigns over the land.

A group of priests plot against Athaliah and have her killed along with her followers. Another example of that divine tolerance that God's people are always inspired to show.

A seven year old king decides to fix God's house, and has a collection to fund the repairs, however he ends up killed in his bed because he ordered the stoning of a man who had the spirit of the lord come upon him.
