2 Kings
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In "2 Kings", Ahab is succeeded by his son Ahaziah, who consults the false god Baal Zebub before dying after being told by Elijah that he would. Elijah mentors Elisha and performs various miracles, some of which are similar to those performed by Jesus. The book covers the First Temple period in which both the northern and southern kingdoms become corrupt, with the northern kingdom being wiped out and the southern kingdom eventually falling to Babylonian conquest. The end of the book includes an epilogue describing the last governor appointed by Babylon and the eventual release of King Jehoiachin from prison.
