I. INTRODUCTIONTO THE SECOND BOOK OF THE KINGS

AUTHOR: Jeremiah DATE: c. 550 B.C.

Title, Author, and Date: Since 1 and 2 Kings were originally on book, see the Introduction to 1 Kings for a discussion of these matters.

Contents Continuing where 1 Kings concluded (with Ahaziah), 2 Kings traces the decline and captivity of both Israel and Judah. Israel endured a succession of evil kings reigning during a 130-year period until the Assyrian captivity. Briefly told is the history of Judah, culminating in the Babylonian captivity.The book also records the miracle-filled ministry of Elisha. Well-known passages include the raising of the Shunammite’s son (chap. 4), the healing of Naaman, the Syrian leper (chap. 5), the death of Jezebel (chap. 9), the revivals under Hezekiah (chap. 18) and under Josiah (chap. 23).

During this period Amos and Hosea prophesied in Israel, and Obadiah, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Jeremiah in Judah.
