Pinamatay mo pa ngani an imo kabugtoan nga kalalaken-an nga mag-uruopay pa kay ha imo nga mga tawo.
What Does This Mean?
This verse is a warning from a prophet to King Jehoram of Judah. It says that he has followed bad examples like the kings of Israel and has led his people astray, even killing his own brothers.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend who starts copying a mean kid's bad habits. He starts lying and fighting, making everyone around him upset. That's what this verse is talking about, but with a king who made his people do bad things.
Historical Background
The Book of 2 Chronicles was written after the exile of the Jews, probably around the 4th century BCE. It was written for the returning Jewish community to remind them of their history and the importance of following God's ways.
Living It Out Today
In today's world, this verse reminds leaders and individuals that their actions can influence others. If a leader chooses to act immorally, they can lead others astray, just like King Jehoram did in Judah.
