# 2 Kings

## Chapters 11 and 12

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapters 3 and 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapters 9 and 10 Chapters 11 and 12 Chapters 13 to 17 Chapters 18 and 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapters 22 and 23 Chapters 24 and 25 | #### Athaliah judged, with Judah's royal family, as connected with Ahab In chapter 11, the judgment of God falls upon the family [1] which had corrupted Israel, and even Judah also. The daughter of the house of Ahab, the usurper of the throne of Judah, Athaliah, is cut off through the faithfulness of the high priest, whose wife had preserved one of the offspring of David. #### Unfaithfulness in Judah's priests Nevertheless there is not true zeal for Jehovah. The priests keep the money to themselves, which they had agreed to use for repairing the house of the Lord, until the king interposes to set things in order. [1] During the time that Ahab, stirred up by Jezebel, as well as his family and sons are the instruments of Israel's apostasy and corruption God sends the testimony of Elijah and Elisha. This is, in the main (after Solomon), the subject of the two Books of Kings. The fall of the house of David, brought on by its alliance with Israel, or by the example of their kings, is related in the end of the book, where we find also the connections of the Assyrians with the people of God. |
