Asa king of Judah reigned 41 years during which time Israel had many kings ( Zimri only reigned 7 days) all of them were sinful and Ahab was the worst.

isn't a summary supposed too be a bit longer?

Some summaries might be longer, but these are short ones. I originally wrote them so they would each fit into a single tweet.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
