“Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and in the 18th year he sent Shaphan to the temple.”
Cover to Cover [2 Kings] | Pastor Robert J. Morgan
An overview of 2 Kings emphasizing how obedience to God leads to life while disobedience brings national and personal collapse. Pastor Morgan surveys the prophets Elijah and Elisha (their miracles and legacy), the fall of Israel and Judah to Assyria and Babylon, revivals under Hezekiah and Josiah, and the book's sober realism tempered by a final note of grace—God preserves the Davidic line.
