2 Kings 3-4, Psalm 119:97-112

We’ve been going back and forth between the books of 1 & 2 Kings and the books of 1 & 2 Chronicles, because each of these books contains a history of kings in Judah and Israel. However, as some of you already know the books of 1 & 2 Chronicles are focused on the kings of Judah, while 1 & 2 Kings cover a broader history including those kings from Judah as well as those from Israel, with large portions devoted to the prophets Elijah and Elisha. We’re still playing a bit of catch-up in 2 Kings, as we’ll read about King Joram of Israel who reigned at the same time as Jehoshaphat, King of Judah. Later, we’ll read about a number of miraculous signs performed through Elisha.
