Particularly was this true during the last two decades of the na- tion's history. When the famous king, Aerpboapt II. died, a period of anarchy set in. Of the six kings that succeeded him, four were the victims of the assassin's blow. Ambition of the foulest type controlled the generals and grinccs of the torn and desolated king pm. _ . 2. Israel put her trust in diplomacy and politics of an infamous type. As- syria had aroused herself under the vigorous leadership of Pul, and Israel was tributary to the world-power. But a pro-Egyptian party schemed and plotted, and finally succeeded in per- suading Pekah to rebel against As- syria. Pekah paid the penalty of re- bellion with his life. Hashes was placed as Israel's puppet on the throne and for some years he was a faithful vassal. But when the opportunity appeared to be favorable to break away from Assyrla, he yielded to the pro-Egyptian Earty, and rebelled. That brought a out the end.

This is the burden of the accusation of the writer of the Kings. Why had the people, so he reasons, gravitated so steadily and so fatally in the direction of Baalism?

This absorbs water from the damp summer air and forms a corro- sive liquid which eats into the pipe rapidly as we learn to our cost.
