1Ki 14:13. What does this text teach us about Jehovah's personality? (w10 7/1 29 ¶5)
The answer is that this text we have just read teaches us that Jehovah thoroughly examines each individual person, always seeking to find something good in our hearts. He immediately appreciates the good in each of us and shows his compassion and blesses him.
COMMENTARY FOR CHILDREN:
It teaches me that he always sees the good in others and that he is a very compassionate God.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
This verse says that something good had been found in Abijah. Apparently Jehovah thoroughly searched his heart until he found a good quality. Compared to his family you had turned out to be, according to a certain expert, a pearl among a heap of stones, that is why Jehovah valued the good that was in this member of an unfaithful family for that reason he was compassionate and granted him a decent burial. This text teaches us something very important about the fascinating personality of Jehovah and what he looks for from each of us his servants.
It teaches us that Jehovah is never going to be carried away by appearances, but rather always thoroughly examines the hearts of people, until he finds good qualities and what is more valuable, and it also teaches us that he is a very compassionate God. .
With this action it is shown that Jehovah does not judge human beings collectively, for he carefully examines each of the hearts and looks for the qualities that are necessary to be accepted in his organization. His compassionate impartiality gives us the opportunity to attain His Forgiveness for actions we have done and have repented of.

1 Kings 13:6 , There we see that Jeroboam wanted to do something to the prophet and his hand was paralyzed, so when he found himself in those troubles, now he went to seek Jehovah's help and I ask the prophet to intercede for he a, but we see that afterwards his actions continued to be bad. So what it teaches us is that we should not only remember Jehovah when we are going through difficult times, but also in good times when we should remember Jehovah and cultivate a close relationship with God.
1 Kings 13:4 , We see that in this case Jeroboam in the same incident tries to do something to the prophet and his hand is paralyzed my and what does this teach us?, that Jehovah acts when people go against the people of Jehovah, like what happened on that occasion and we see that Jehovah was ready to act, today also Jehovah is going to be the same at Armageddon when the people want to exterminate the people of God, Jehovah will act justly and this will give way to Armageddon.
1 Kings 13:18 , There we see that the prophet was deceived by another prophet, that is to say, the prophet had received instructions from Jehovah and another prophet goes and tells him that it should not be the opposite and so he allows himself to be deceived.

1 Kings 13:21 , Now we see that the prophet was punished for not obeying Jehovah in what he had commanded him, and he ignored in this case the directives that he was not to stop at the place or eat or drink water.

1 Kings 14:16 , We see that Jehovah was going to punish both King Jeroboam because he had practiced idolatry as well as Israel for the acts they had done to follow the king in idolatry.

1 Kings 13:1,2, We see that a prophecy is announced where it was said that a descendant of David named Josiah would burn men's bones on an altar in the city of Bethel, and according to the Bible this happened three centuries later, What Jehovah teaches us is that everything he says is fulfilled without fail.
1 Kings 13:33,34, Well, we see that even after everything that happened to Jeroboam, he did not learn his lesson and continued with his blasphemous path of disobedience to Jehovah, which teaches us that we should never abuse Jehovah's mercy and although it is true that he forgives us our sins and after committing a serious sin there he allows us to return to his people, this does not mean that we can sin deliberately.
