The book 2 Kings reads like tragic drama, telling the closing decades of the divided monarchy in Israel and Judah - it's failure, the Exile, the destruction of Jerusalem. If these are indeed God's chosen people, why has he allowed them to be so devastated? In this insightful commentary, Dr. T.R. Hobbs focuses on 2 Kings as the purposeful attempt of its author to interpret the tragedy for those people - to give them new understanding of their past and renew their hope for the future.
