2 Kings 20

This week we will consider from 2 Kings 20, 2 Chronicles 32:24-33 & Isaiah 38-39. Last time we considered Hezekiah's 1st test: The Assyrian invasion of Judah. This week we will consider the other 2 tests: His illness and the envoys from Babylon. As we saw last time 2 Kings 18-20 are not in chronological order. Our chapters this week, 2 Kings 20, et. al., occurred before Sennacherib's 2nd invasion in 2 Kings 18:17. Hezekiah's illness (2 Kings 20:1-11, 2 Chronicles 32:24-26 & Isaiah 38) What was the reason behind Hezekiah's illness? (2 Chronicles 32:24-26) What did Isaiah say to Hezekiah & what was Hezekiah's response? (2 Kings 20:1-3, Isaiah 38:1-3) a. What do you think of Hezekiah's response?

Here are some questions to ponder as you read and study for Friday night. Like Mac shared last time, the questions we send are to help you dig into the chapter and help generate discussion not to be a limit or a rigid structure. What was common to all the kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel? What was the state of Israel during the reign of King Jehoahaz ? How was Jehoahaz different than most kings of Israel? When and how was the prayer of Jehoahaz answered? What does the meeting between King Joash and Elisha tell you about the king? What does it tell you about Elisha? What does it tell you about God? How long was the ministry of Elisha? What was the fruit of it? ( The answers to #6 you have to dig for.) Why did Elisha put his hands on the hands of the king while he shot the arrows? Why was E...
