Let’s get started on this overview of the books of Kings by going to the end. Here we’ll find hints that God will intentionally take away the Promised Land from His unfaithful people.
Read 2 Kings 25:1-7 and then answer the following questions:
- Where was Zedekiah overtaken by the Babylonian army?
- How is 2 Kings 25:1-7 a reversal of the opening chapters of Joshua?
