2 Kings 11

We will be covering 2 Kings 11 which goes along with 2 Chronicles 22: 10- chapter 23. It might be a good idea to have two Bibles with you, one opened to 2 Kings and one to 2 Chronicles.

Here are some questions to help your looking at the passages we will be covering?

  1. What really is at stake in these chapters is God's promise to David. The continuing of his line and the bringing in of Messiah is in jeopardy. 'How has it come to be in jeopardy?
  2. What effect did the actions of Jehu have on the nation of Judah?
  3. Looking at 2 Kings 11 (since there are less names) who are the major actors and what is the importance of each to the story at hand?
  4. In 2 Chronicles 23:3, What does it mean that Jehoiada "strengthened himself."
  5. What groups were instrumental in bringing Josh to the throne in Judah? Is that important? Explain.
  6. What is the "Testimony" given to King Joash?
  7. How was the destruction of the House of Baal different here than the destruction of it by Jehu in the 2 Kings 10?
  8. What are some of the results that came out of the overthrow of Athaliah?
  9. What does it mean in the last verse of 2 Chronicles 23, that the city was quiet?
  10. Finally What do you think God is showing us about Himself? About ourselves and the day we live in?
