TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

The books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings originally comprised a single volume, which was entitled "Kings." The two books were divided by early scribes and translators in order to copy the lengthy text of the book on separate scrolls and codexes.

The book of 2 Kings is the divinely inspired record of the kings of Israel and Judah, beginning with the reigns of Israel's King Ahaziah and Judah's King Jehoshaphat, and concluding with the captivities of both kingdoms, Israel's captivity to Assyria and Judah's captivity to Babylon.
