Which king in the bible passed his use by date?

That would be Saul.

Not he one I had in mind.

[Ukulelemike]

My other thought would be Hezekiah, unto whom was added 15 years to his life by decree of the Lord.

 

[Invicta]

Not him either,  Good examples though.

[Ukulelemike]

Hm, well I know Ahab had trouble prophesied against him, but when we wept and went softly, the Lord spared him that trouble and placed it instead in his son's time.

[Invicta]

Not a Hebrew king.

[Ukulelemike]

Ahh. So good answers, just not THE answer.

Mebbe Nebuchadnezzar? Warned of God to be humble, then went on about how great he was, and his kingdom, run out by God for 7 years with the mind of a beast until the Lord opened his eyes and he gave God glory?

[Invicta]

Not Nebuchadnezzar.

Stumped me, "Invicta". I'm not sure what you mean by: the "used by date"...

If you mean expired... they all physically died. And you further qualified it was not a Hebrew king you had in mind... so my best guess is Pharoah in the time of Joseph OR it could be one of the two Pharoahs in Moses' day... (one pharaoh enslaved the Israelites, and the  other pharaoh during the time of the exodus who wouldn't obey God and let His people go.)  Any of the Pharoahs would likely have been mummified and thereby "passing their use-by date". That's my best guess.  I like questions like this... I'm eager to hear the answer

King of Salem

[Ronda]

I like your answer "wretched"!!! Melchizedek (king of Salem). Since Jesus is also identified as  "a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek"

[Invicta]

Glad that you are thinking, but Ronda is closest,

It is well after midnight here and I am off to bed,  goodnight,

[HappyChristian]

Sure, sure, Invicta...use bedtime as an excuse to leave us all hanging...

[Invicta]

OK I will keep you hanging no longer.

 

If I can remember.
