Decline, Captivity, and Prophets
2 Kings continues the narrative of Israel and Judah’s rulers, detailing how both kingdoms fell due to persistent sin and rebellion against God. Key prophets like Elisha perform miracles and call the people back to righteousness. The book ends with both nations in exile — Israel taken by Assyria and Judah by Babylon. 2 Kings is a powerful reminder of God’s justice, mercy, and the consequences of turning away from Him.
