What happened at Libnah?

Libnah was a Canaanite city that was conquered by Joshua during the Israelite conquest of the Promised Land (Joshua 10:29-32, 39; 12:15). It was located in the Shephelah region of Judah (Joshua 15:42). Libnah was later designated as a Levitical city, given to the descendants of Aaron (Joshua 21:13; 1Ch.6.57). During the reign of King Joram of Judah, Libnah revolted against Judah's rule (2Ki.8.22; 2Ch.21.10). The city is also mentioned in the context of King Hezekiah's reign, as the place where the Assyrian commander Rabshakeh returned after speaking with Hezekiah's officials (2Ki.19.8; Isaiah 37:8). Libnah was the hometown of Hamutal, the mother of King Jehoahaz and King Zedekiah of Judah (2Ki.23.31; 24:18; Jeremiah 52:1).

"People don't give up on the Bible for lack of discipline. They give up because they don't understand what they read. So they skim past it and jump straight to what it means for them, before they have listened to what God is saying through the words, the story, and the voice of the writer. It happens so often that theology has a name for it: eisegesis."

The streak feature actually got people in my congregation excited to read, especially the youth. We've started comparing notes after service.
