1 & 2 Kings
A book study — 22 lessons · Old Testament
First and Second Kings carry the story from the splendor of Solomon and the building of the temple through the division of the kingdom, the ministries of Elijah and Elisha, and the slow decline of both Israel and Judah into exile. This study sets forth God’s covenant faithfulness and the sobering cost of unfaithful worship and leadership.
