2 Królewska 17:7-8

The Book of 2 Kings is a story of a nation struggling to be faithful to a good God and the consequences of that struggle. Amid the land's idolatry, bold men rose up to call out evil and call the nation back to God. In this week of devotionals, we will look at these men and learn from their boldness as we do an overview of the Book of 2 Kings. Written by J.R. Hudberg

Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
