2 Kings

THE SECOND BOOK of the KINGS, OTHERWISE CALLED THE FOURTH BOOK of the KINGS.

THIS Book contains a history of more than three hundred years, from the death of Jehoshaphat, in the year of the world 3115, to the ruin of the kingdom of Judah in 3416; including an account of the acts of Elijah and Elisha, the pious reigns of Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, and Josiah, the repentance of Manasseh, the wickedness of some other kings, the anger of God in consequence, and at length the destruction of the kingdom of Israel by the king of Assyria, and the captivity of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar.
