In 1 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 13-16, King Abijam of Judah follows in the sinful ways of his ancestors, yet because of God's covenant with David, Judah is preserved; his son Asa then ascends to the throne, enacting religious reforms to eradicate idolatry and renew dedication to the Lord. King Asa's reforms bring a period of religious revival, but political tensions escalate with Israel, leading to conflicts and alliances that shape the geopolitical landscape of the region.

Additionally, the end of Proverbs offers wisdom on various topics through the sayings of Agur and King Lemuel.
