2 Kings 15-17: Israel, the Northern Kingdom Ends in Captivity


Listen Later

What happens when a nation ignores God’s warnings for generations? Find out in this episode of the Bible Book Club Podcast where we explore: 

  • 2 Kings 15
  • 2 Kings 16
  •  2 Kings 17

Themes of this podcast episode:

Partial Obedience Leads to Spiritual Decay – King Azariah (Uzziah) and King Jotham's lukewarm faith serves as a warning that half-hearted obedience to God is still disobedience.

Trusting the Wrong Savior is Costly – King Ahaz turned to Assyria for help instead of seeking God, reminding us that placing our trust in worldly solutions instead of the Lord will always lead to spiritual and moral decline.

Sin Has Consequences, Even for a Nation – After centuries of rejecting God’s warnings, Israel is conquered and the ten northern tribes are lost forever. Their downfall is a sobering reminder, when we repeatedly choose sin over God, we eventually get what we choose—separation from Him.

🎧 Listen now to be inspired by God’s work in the messiness of history.
