| Summary | "The Bible, King James version, Book 12: 2 Kings" by Anonymous is a historical religious text believed to have been written in the early centuries AD. This book continues the narrative of the Israelite monarchy, focusing on the actions and decisions of various kings of Israel and Judah, emphasizing themes of faithfulness to God, divine judgment, and prophetic intervention through figures such as Elijah and Elisha. At the start of "2 Kings," the events unfold after the death of King Ahab, highlighting the rebellion of Moab against Israel and the subsequent actions of King Ahaziah, who seeks guidance from Baalzebub rather than turning to God. The prophet Elijah intervenes, prophesying Ahaziah's death. As the narrative progresses, the bond between Elijah and his successor Elisha is established, showcasing Elisha's miracles and prophetic authority. Various kings rise and fall, with Elisha playing a crucial role in guiding Israel through political turbulence, battles, and spiritual crises, setting the stage for the nation's fate in relation to their covenant with God.
