After the awesome Passover celebration, Hezekiah gets to work tearing down all the idols and altars of other gods. Good work, Hezekiah. But then the Assyrian army approaches! Hezekiah tells his people to stay calm, though, for the Lord is greater than any Assyrian army and will protect them. Assyrian messengers come to the gates of Jerusalem to mock the people for believing Hezekiah. For the Assyrians had conquered many nations and none of their gods protected them. Why would Judah's God be any different? However, sadly, the Chronicler's account of this omits the Curse of the Rabshakeh.*
So Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah pray to God and an angel is sent to wipe out the Assyrian army. The good king Hezekiah then oversees some building projects and eventually dies. His son Manasseh becomes king and is severely evil.
How evil is he? Well, he's so evil that he leads Judah astray and the people do more evil than the indigenous inhabitants of the land that the Lord wiped out when Israel first conquered Canaan. So the Lord allows Manasseh to be taken captive by the Assyrians and taken into exile. However, Manasseh repents** and God rescues him from his plight and returns him to Judah to be king. He does good things in the eyes of the Lord before dying.***
Manasseh dies and his son Amon becomes king. Amon was evil and was killed by conspirators. The people then killed the conspirators and made Josiah king. Josiah did good, tore down foreign idols, and restored the Temple. During the restoration, a lost book of the Law is found, prompting Josiah to follow the edicts of this lost book and hold a swanky Passover festival. Now, this is far more swanky than Hezekiah's Passover. Only Passovers held before the Monarchy begin can compare.
Then Josiah goes to fight against King Neco of Egypt. But Neco says he's on a mission from God (he must have Jake and Elwood in his posse) and that Josiah should leave him alone.**** But Josiah doesn't listen and tries to fight Neco anyway. Josiah is struck by arrows and dies.
The Chronicler wraps up the last of Judah's kings rather quickly. Joehoaz becomes king but is then deposed by the king of Egypt. His brother Eliakim is made king and renamed Jehoiakim. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon takes Jehoiakim into exile and Jehoiachin becomes king. He too is taken into exile and Zedekiah becomes king. Zedekiah leads the people into rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar which incites the wrath of the Babylonians. Jerusalem is razed, the Temple is burned and destroyed, and all the surviving people are taken into exile.
2 Chronicles ends with Cyrus the Great of Persia conquering Babylon and decreeing that the Hebrews may return to their homeland. It ends on a much more pleasant and cheery note than 2 Kings. Unlike the Christian Old Testament, some versions of the Hebrew Bible actually end with 2 Chroniclers, thereby concluding with this optimistic note.
*"But the Rabshakeh said to them, 'Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?'" - 2 Kings 18:27
**This becomes the basis of the Apocryphal book "The Prayer of Manasseh." Does this mean I'm going to have to read and review the Apocrypha now?
***This story of Manasseh's exile, repentance, and becoming a good king has no parallel in 2 Kings. Indeed, Kings points out many times that it's because of Manasseh's grievous sins that God allows the eventual Babylonian exile. So why is this story in Chronicles? Well, whatever the origin, let's examine the message. Even the most evil of evil Judean kings in exile can repent and God will return him to his home and make things all right. To the post-exilic community that the Chronicler was probably writing for, this would be quite the comforting message. CIE!
****The account in 2 Kings doesn't explain Neco's actions as being ordained by God. But here the Chronicler does, thereby justifying the death of such a good king. Why would God allow the good king Josiah to be killed? Because he was disobeying the will of God and did not listen to such prophetic words.

2 Chronicles 26-30
And we're back with more Chronicles goodness!
With Amaziah dead, his son Uzziah becomes king. He was a rather good and prosperous king, overseeing many building projects. But then Uzziah gets too big for his britches. He enters into the temple and attempts to make an offering by himself. Only the priests are allowed to do such things. They stop the the king and some sort of skin rash instantly appears on Uzziah's head. Uzziah leaves and spends the rest of his days separated from people, due to his "unclean" condition. His son Jotham takes the throne. He continues the building projects of his father and is eventually followed by his son Ahaz.
We all remember Ahaz, right? Evil king Ahaz? No? Well, if that's the case, you're in luck. Cause now we go over his reign again! This is a double delight for all you Ahaz enthusiasts out there. Ahaz starts off by worshiping other deities and following the rituals of these foreign gods. In response, God allows the Arameans to be victorious when they attack Judah. The Arameans take a bunch of people back to Damascus with them. The same thing happens when Israel and Edom later attack Judah. This pattern seems to foreshadow the eventual exile of all of Judah to Babylon.
Ahaz offers tribute to the king of Assyria so that he might come to Judah's aid. Instead, Assyria comes to fight and oppress Judah. Following these defeats, Ahaz abandons the Lord completely. He starts worshiping the gods of Aram thinking those gods gave Aram victory of Judah, so perhaps they'd help out Ahaz as well. They don't. Ahaz dies.
Boom. Enter Hezekiah. Remember Hezekiah, one of the greatest kings of Judah? Remember the song about him? Well, Hezekiah does good in the sight of the Lord, and immediately repents of the sins of his father Ahaz. He reverses all the evil policies of Ahaz and fixes up the temple. Then, with great haste, Hezekiah arranges for the people to celebrate the Passover festival, for the people had been rather lax in observing it*
But, since they begin the festival so soon, many don't have time to fulfill the prescribed preparations. They aren't sanctimoniously clean and shouldn't be allowed to participate. Hezekiah realizes this, but doesn't turn such people away. Instead, he prays that "the good Lord pardon all who set their hearts to seek God, the Lord the God of their ancestors, even though not in accordance with the sanctuary's rules of cleanness."** God heard Hezekiah's prayer and is totally cool with the unclean people coming to worship Him (30:18-20). So the people held a big old festival.
*Wait a minute. You're probably thinking, "But Smitch, didn't it say in 2 Kings that Josiah held the first Passover since the time of the judges?" And my heart warms a little as I hear you say such a thing. Ah, the thinking person, actually reading the text critically and stopping to say, "hey, this doesn't jive!"
You are absolutely correct. So how do we address this issue? What possible hypothesis do you hold? Maybe the Chronicler has a man crush on Hezekiah and wants to make him cooler? Or, maybe the author of Kings was the one with the man crush on Josiah and made him hold the Passover? Maybe it's just an innocent error?
Maybe you should just skip ahead to the Chronicler's coverage of Josiah and see what it says about it there!
Gasp! Could it be? Someone implying that we read this in light of the context of the larger book? Oh, you know how to make me feel all warm and fuzzy, don't you? All right then, let's do just that.
Over in 2 Chronicles 35 it talks about Josiah's Passover. While Hezekiah was able to get the people of Judah to observe it, Josiah got all of Judah and Israel to participate. Josiah's Passover was incredible grand in scale and accurate (the lost book of the Law he finds in he Temple may have included more details about the festival which had been forgotten), the likes of which not seen since before the monarchy. So with this info we see that both versions are correct without any real contradiction. Hezekiah held a Passover, yes, but Josiah held a mega-Passover that hadn't been seen centuries. CIE, folks. Context is everything.
**Do you think the teaching of Jesus echoes this verse at all? I think Hezekiah's little prayer pretty much sums up the teaching of Jesus. So you haven't fulfilled every requirement of your religion. So what? It's the attitude of your heart that matters. In the Gospels, it's the Pharisees and religious leaders who fulfill all the requirements of the law. But Jesus isn't impressed at all. For it's the tax collectors, prostitutes, and dregs of society that possess the heart that's willing to seek after God. And this is more important than any sacrament or ritual that may be imposed upon you.

Words to Ponder from Tommy J.
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
-- Thomas Jefferson
-- Thomas Jefferson
Breaking Dawn 679-End
Here we are, folks. The climatic conclusion. And you'll never believe what happens!
Nothing!
That's right. As predicted, no battle, fighting, or violence of any kind occurs. Just two groups of people standing at opposite sides of a field talking. If Kevin Smith doesn't direct this, they could always get Tarantino. He's does talking as well. Remember Death Proof? Ok, now remember the 85% of Death Proof that had nothing to do with cool car antics and was purely irrelevant, uninteresting dialogue? See? Tarantino could easily do Breaking Dawn. Plus, he's got experience working on vampire movies before. From Dusk Til Dawn, anyone?
So the Vampire City crew arrive, and they've brought their own batch of vampire witnesses to observe the ordeal. The situation is tense as they discover what baby Blade is and what they should do with her. Wait, there is some violence. My bad. When it's discovered that Blade is not a human baby-turned-vampire, the vampire who tattled to Vampire City is burned. But this takes place within a paragraph and is solely meant to provoke a physical altercation. Most of the Cullen clan don't care enough to fall for the bait. Those that do are easily restrained.
The visit from the Vampire City gang isn't so much about destroying Blade as it is seeking an excuse to dismantle the Cullens and annex those with particular powers into their own little club. Some of the Vampire Citizens actually try some psychic attacks, but at that moment Bella conveniently learns total control of her shielding ability and protects everyone on her side.
Still, it looks like violence is about to break out until Alice triumphantly returns with a special guest: another half human/half vampire dude from South America. This is what Alice has been doing the whole time, trying to find another person like Blade so everyone can see what Blade will eventually become. Turns out she'll reach adulthood in about 6.5 years and then she'll quit aging forever and be immortal.
Foiled, the folks from Vampire City give up and depart. For now. The victorious Cullens and crew give out a shout of celebration and start to party right there in the woods. They hold a big barbecue and a company of Ewoks come out from the trees and start playing music by rhythmically drumming on Stormtrooper helmets. R2-D2 can be seen dancing with an Ewok while Blade sits on the grass and plays patty-cake with a tiny little baby Ewok that cowers in adorable terror whenever werewolf Jacob nears. Thematic music crescendos and the scene wipes to the closing credits.
All right, so maybe that's not exactly how it happened. But it's close.
In actuality, Bella, Edward, and Blade return to their cottage and live happily ever after. Forever and ever.
Heh. I think entropy will say otherwise. It's science, people!
There you have it. Some men climb Everest. Some men swim the English Channel. Some men soar into outer space. I read all four Twilight books. You'll readily agree that this make me the most courageous, most daring, most fearless man you have ever met. And though you are in awe, you also admit great fear and respect towards me. For if I can do this, what can't I do? The possibilities are limitless, my friend. Your awe and fear are quite understandable. I am the most courageous man.
And, through rather unorthodox means, some might say the most romantic.
Nothing!

Breaking Dawn 572-679
A bunch of vampires descend upon the Cullen home to see what the big deal is. Upon seeing and understanding what Blade is, nearly all of them agree to join the Cullens in their defiance of the Vampire City folk. I have no idea who most of these people are. Seriously. There are so many random characters and names all of a sudden that there's even an appendix in the back that sorts them out.
Plus, many of these new vampires also have special, supernatural powers. So there's a bunch of talking about who has what power and how to use that power. Apparently Bella has a power that can shield herself from the powers of other vampires. And then they all start training to fight with these powers. Somewhere along the line, the Cullen house became Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. But these vampires would never win a battle against Magneto.
Before she left, Alice had left a secret, cryptic note for Bella. So Bella escapes the house and runs away to check out the address in Seattle that was in the note. There she finds a shady lawyer who's in the business of forging documents. Bella understands what Alice had intended with the note. They're not going to win this battle. So Bella orders up fake birth certificates and passports for Jacob and Blade. Hopefully they'll be able to escape the fight and disappear.
Now that would be cool. The entire Cullen clan slaughtered with only Jacob and Blade surviving. They travel from town to town, trying to keep a low profile as the Vampire City folk relentlessly hunt them down. All the while, they're still scheming for that opportunity when they can avenge the murder of their family. Now that would be a compelling story. Oh, and they could have odd, periodic meetings with Jeff Goldblum.
The likelihood of that happening? Probably about as likely as Kevin Smith actually directing a Twilight movie. So, not at all.
Eventually, they all assemble, vampires and werewolves, at the clearing where it was foreseen the potential altercation will take place. They wait and wait. Finally, bam, some mist rolls in and the Vampire City crew is about to appear. And then the chapter ends on that lovely cliffhanger.
Shall we return next time with what I'm sure will be a thrilling conclusion with lots of talking? See you next time. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel.

Breaking Dawn 471-572
They celebrate Bella's 19th birthday. Kind of. She objects that she became a vampire three days prior and died/became undead/stopped aging/whatever. In any case, she's frozen in time as a legal adult, while Edward is still stuck at the age of 17. A minor. Thanks to the arbitrary age statutes in this land, that would technically make Bella a pedophile. Next time Bella moves into your neighborhood she may not tell you she's a vampire, but she will be required by law to inform you that she's a registered sex offender.
And with that, I've probably ruined this book for everyone. You're welcome.
For her birthday, she and Edward get a little cottage a ways off from the main house. They take advantage of this new, um, privacy. Yeah, there's still more of that. I think asking what the crap happened to this series has become futile. I'll accept it and move on. Well, I'll move on at least.
Jacob tells Bella's dad, Charlie, everything. Well, at least about the werewolf part. He then brings Charlie to the Cullen house to meet Blade and the obviously physically altered Bella. Unbelievably, Charlie is rather okay with all this and doesn't ask for in depth details. He only wants to know what he needs to know, and assumes the rest. What world is this were no one reacts when they discover the existence of vampires and werewolves? Charlie probably throws a bigger fit over being expected to believe that Indiana Jones could survive a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge.
Blade is still growing fast, but the rate is slowing. But it's not slowing enough. If the same pattern continues, she'll be an adult within 4 years and dead in 15. The vampire crew plan a series of travels and expeditions across the world to see if they can learn about any previous instances or legends surrounding a child such as Blade. Bella also plans to go to Vampire City and say "Hey, I'm a vampire now, you don't have to kill me."
Then another vampire with a back story nobody cares about sees Blade, thinks the Cullens have turned a baby into a forbidden baby vampire, and squeals on them to the Italian king vampire clan in Vampire City. One of the vampire girls, Alice, sees this (cause she can see the future) and mysteriously runs away. The Vampire City crew is coming to eliminate the Cullens for creating a baby vampire.
But Blade is not a typical baby vampire, and Bella hopes they can convince the foreign vampires of that before they kill everyone. Most of the Cullens disperse across the land to recruit other vampires to come meet Blade and to join them in standing against the Vampire Citizens.
So, it looks like this could be gearing up for a super big vampire fight! Yeah, we all know that probably won't happen. Kevin Smith doesn't direct action, remember? Though it would be cool if they overtake the antagonists and rule over Vampire City themselves. Bella assumes the role of queen over all the vampires and becomes irredeemably corrupt with all her new found power. It's up to none other than Jacob and Blade to vanquish her in a bloody endgame. Yeah, I'm gonna root for that outcome.
