Chapter 306 of 1163

2 KINGS

This book records the collapse and captivity of the kingdom of Israel (chaps. 1–17) and the kingdom of Judah (chaps. 18–25). Spiritual decay led to political and social deterioration. In spite of the ministries of the prophets and the frequent chastenings God sent, Israel and Judah rebelled against the Lord and had to be judged. This is a warning to individuals (Prov. 29:1) and nations (Prov. 14:34) to listen to God’s Word and obey it.
