Can reheating cooked chili that was left unrefrigerated for 4 hours kill bacteria?

Reheating it to 165°F will kill vegetative bacterial cells, but it does not mean that the chicken would be safe to eat. Toxins possibly produced by the bacteria might not be destroyed.

Reheating cooked chili after the 3rd day make you sick?
This really depends on how much time the chili has been setting out for. I would suggest only reheating the amount you are going to consume at that time. Remember, if it smells or looks different then it did when you first ate it throw it away.
How long can chili be unrefrigerated?
* Cooked chili should not be unrefrigerated for any more than 2 hours. Less time is better. After that time frame, the chili should either be reheated or packaged and placed in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat leftovers to 165°F before consuming. * In a service setting, chili is best done in a crock pot and the hostess can leave it on a low heat (at least 140°F) while guests are there and you will not have to put it into the refrigerator. Once everyone has had enough then, let the chili cool and refrigerate or put into packets and freeze for further use. Cool the chili quickly by using an ice bath or by separating into smaller containers.

Can you get food poisoning if chili is left out?
I've read many posts about this issue, and I'm not an expert. Some people claim that any food left out anywhere for more than two hours is guaranteed to make you sick for days. So first, if you feel more comfortable throwing it out - do it. You may make yourself sick with worry rather than the actual food. I take a practical approach. Here's the answer IMHO: Assuming the chili has no harmful bacteria when initially cooked - it was properly cooked and safe to eat, then the cooked chili and pot were essentially sanitized. Assuming the serving was not buffet style with an open pot for an extended period, then the exposure during serving was limited. Assuming that the pot was covered while warm after cooking, and kept covered during the cooling period, then any outside bacteria would have a hard time getting into the pot and growing substantially overnight. To minimize risk, reheat the chili to boiling before eating to kill any potential bacteria. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or so. Anything not killed by that was probably in the chili initially, and would have caused a problem when the chili was first served. Most chili is acidic, so any growth would be limited. CAVEAT: If the chili was handled by many people during serving (like a pot luck dinner), left open to the air overnight, or contained dairy - throw it out. It may not be harmful, but I don't think it's worth the risk. IMHO.
