Book of 2 KINGS | Complete Audio Bible | Narrated by "Ana" | The Great Bible | KJV Bible The Book of 2 Kings, an Old Testament book of the Bible, continues the narrative from 1 Kings, presenting the history of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and culminating with the fall and exile of both kingdoms. 2 Kings begins with Elijah's miraculous ascent to heaven in a chariot of fire, and Elisha, his apprentice, taking up his prophetic mantle. Elisha performs numerous miracles, demonstrating God's power and grace amidst Israel's apostasy. The narrative alternates between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, documenting the reigns of various kings. The northern kingdom consistently has wicked kings who perpetuate the sin of Jeroboam I (worshiping the golden calves). Conversely, in Judah, although several kings do evil, a few seek God and institute religious reforms. Notable kings of Judah include Hezekiah, who destroys idolatrous high places and trusts in God when the Assyrians besiege Jerusalem. God delivers Judah by striking down the Assyrian army. Yet, Hezekiah's son, Manasseh, is Judah's most wicked king, leading the people into detestable practices. In the northern kingdom, the dynasty of Omri ends with Jehu's rebellion, prophesied by Elisha. Jehu wipes out Ahab's descendants and the Baal worshipers, but he does not depart from the sins of Jeroboam I. The northern kingdom's downfall comes when the Assyrian Empire conquers Samaria, and the Israelites are taken into captivity – the result of their persistent idolatry and disobedience. Judah survives a little longer, with reforms under King Josiah, who leads a great Passover celebration after finding the Book of the Law during Temple repairs. However, Judah's repentance is short-lived, and the subsequent kings return to evil ways. The book concludes with Babylon conquering Jerusalem, destroying the Temple, and carrying the people into exile, leaving behind only the poorest people. Despite the grim ending, a glimmer of hope is offered with Jehoiachin, Judah's captive king, being released from prison in Babylon. In summary, 2 Kings narrates the history of the divided kingdoms and their eventual downfall due to persistent disobedience and idolatry. It underscores the importance of covenant faithfulness and obedience to God's law. The prophetic ministries of Elijah and Elisha, along with instances of divine deliverance, testify to God's patience, power, and continued commitment to His people. 00:00:02 - Chapter 1 00:05:14 - Chapter 2 00:11:48 - Chapter 3 00:18:13 - Chapter 4 00:28:38 - Chapter 5 00:36:15 - Chapter 6 00:44:09 - Chapter 7 00:50:07 - Chapter 8 00:57:19 - Chapter 9 01:06:42 - Chapter 10 01:15:46 - Chapter 11 01:21:01 - Chapter 12 01:26:01 - Chapter 13 01:32:07 - Chapter 14 01:38:44 - Chapter 15 01:46:58 - Chapter 16 01:51:50 - Chapter 17 02:01:15 - Chapter 18 02:10:24 - Chapter 19 02:19:10 - Chapter 20 02:24:09 - Chapter 21 02:29:37 - Chapter 22 02:34:52 - Chapter 23 02:45:30 - Chapter 24 02:49:58 - Chapter 25
