2 Kings 13

We will be covering 2 Kings 13 this week. Even though Some of the rule of Israel's (not Judah's) king Joash (Jehoash) is covered in 2 Kings 14 it fits better with King Amaziah of Judah.

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.

1. What was common to all the kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel?
2. What was the state of Israel during the reign of King Jehoahaz ?
3. How was Jehoahaz different than most kings of Israel?
4. When and how was the prayer of Jehoahaz answered?
5. 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?
6. How long was the ministry of Elisha?
• What was the fruit of it?
• ( The answers to #6 you have to dig for.)
7. Why did Elisha put his hands on the hands of the king while he shot the arrows?
8. Why was Elisha upset with the king?
9. What is the significance of the corpse touching the bones of Elisha coming back to life?
10. Why does the Lord act toward Israel as He did in this chapter?

Happy studying!
