2 Kings Introduction

The Second Book of the Kings

Commonly Called the Fourth Book of the Kings.

This book continues the history of the kingdoms to the captivities. It includes the translation of Elijah and the ministry of Elisha. During this period Amos and Hosea prophesied in Israel, and Obadiah, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Jeremiah in Judah.

Second Kings is in seven parts:

  1. The last ministry and translation of Elijah, 2Ki 1:1 - 2Ki 2:11.
  2. The ministry of Elisha from the translation of Elijah to the anointing of Jehu, 2Ki 2:12 - 2Ki 9:10.
  3. The reign of Jehu over Israel, 2Ki 9:11 - 2Ki 10:36.
  4. The reigns of Athaliah and Jehoash over Judah, 2Ki 11:1 - 2Ki 12:21.
  5. The reigns of Jehoahaz and Joash over Israel, and the last ministry of Elisha, 1Ki 13:1-25.
  6. From the death of Elisha to the captivity of Israel, 2Ki 14:1 - 2Ki 17:41.
  7. From the accession of Hezekiah to the captivity of Judah, 2Ki 18:1 - 2Ki 25:30.

The events recorded in Second Kings cover a period of 308 years. (Ussher)
