2 Kings provides a fastpaced narrative of insight into the history
of Israel under its monarchy. This book is a continuation of the
narrative begun in 1 Samuel and continued through 2 Samuel and 1
Kings. Ralph finishes it off with a captivating and rewarding
journey through 2 Kings. Written between 561 BC and 538BC, 2nd
Kings gives us a warning about the consequences of sin, especially
the catastrophic repercussions of Israel's love affair with
idolatry. Despite struggling with other problems, we see that the
Jewish people learned from their experience. They never made a
mistake of this enormity again. Through prophets such as Elisha and
Elijah we see God's compassion for his people and the opportunity
for repentance. An opportunity spoilt by Judah, climaxing with the
subjugation of the kingdom by the Babylonians. Illuminating,
accessible and laced with his unique sense of humour, Davis'
practical devotional expository applies events to the contemporary
reader providing parallels to alert us in the 21st century.
