They conspired against him in Jerusalem…2 Kings 14:19

Amaziah was the name of the king they were conspiring against though it doesn’t matter much. This seemed to happen a lot, just as it happens wherever there is government.

Even in democratic governments, there are people close to top leadership who conspire against the leaders. This occurs in all governments and in all nations. Often the leaders don’t know who to trust since there are many reasons (self-preservation immediately comes to mind) people do things. I know it’s cynical but, rarely do leaders and advisors do what’s best for the people. There are exceptions but not many.

Pray for your leaders and their advisors. Pray that corrupt leaders and advisors will be exposed. Pray that the good leaders will rise from the pack.
