You do not have to have studied 1 Kings in order to study 2 Kings with us.While 2 Kings is a continuation of 1 Kings – the book stands alone and is understandable on it’s own. But for those who missed the 1 Kings study or for those who need their memory refreshed about 1 Kings – here’s what 1 Kings was all about. In 1 Kings, we saw the rise and fall of both good and bad kings, starting with David.
