2 Kings

The Truth about Our Troubled World

About this book

Explore the History of Ancient Israel and Judah to Find Hope Amid Division in the World Today
The book of 2 Kings recounts the most tragic period in the Old Testament: the collapse of the two nation-states that had once been Israel. Following rebellion against the house of David, God's people entertained false gods and endured a turbulent succession of kings, none of whom could bring the salvation they desperately needed. In this Preaching the Word volume, John Woodhouse presents a thorough yet accessible study of 2 Kings. Walking passage-by-passage through the text, he examines the destruction of Israel and Judah, and makes practical connections that will help believers endure the troubles of the world today. This expositional commentary is an essential resource for anyone interested in studying, teaching, or preaching the Bible.Ā
