Who are the good kings in the Bible?

Examples of good kings in the Bible

In the Old Testament, a king is described as good or bad depending on his religion. If the king served the one true God of Israel, he is described as good. If the king forsook the one true God of Israel and embraced foreign religion or foreign gods and idols, he is described as bad or evil. Here is a list of kings who stayed true to the God of Israel:

Kings who turned from good to bad

There were some kings who, though began as devotees to the true God of Israel, forsook him at some point. These kings acted in perpetual disobedience to the Lord. Jehoash and his son Amaziah forsook the one true God of Israel for foreign gods and idols. And Saul was a disobedient proud king who, aside from disobedience, committed atrocities in Israel. These are the kings who started as good kings, but along the line became evil and ungodly:
