==Commentary==
The Second book of Kings continues the drama begun in [[1 Kings]] - the tragic history of two nations on a collision course with captivity. The author systematically traces the reigning monarchs of [[Israel]] and [[Judah]], first by carrying one nation's history forward, then retracing the same period for the other nation.
Nineteen consecutive evil kings rule in Israel, leading to the captivity by [[Assyria]]. The picture is somewhat brighter in Judah, where godly kings occasionally emerge to reform the evils of their predecessors. In the end however, [[sin]] outweighs righteousness and Judah is marched off to [[Babylon]].
