2 Kings
The author of 2 King is unknown, but Jewish tradition supports Jeremiah. The books of Kings were orignally contained within one book of Hebrew text, and was part of a two-volume collection with the books of Samuel. Therefore, 2 Kings is actually the fourth book in the series on the history of the Hebrew Kings as presently arranged. The accountings serves as the final account of the demise of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and correlates historical facts with theological truths. The providential care of the LORD GOD for his people, as He acts in the affairs of men and nations is recorded here for all to witness the true and living Will and Works of Him.
