On his deathbed, Elisha tries to teach Yehoash the lesson of resilience, but he is unsuccesful. We also read of the Elisha's postmortem "miracle" and the victory of Yehoash over Aram.

We learn of Yehoachaz, a not very righteous king of Israel, but none the less God listen's when approached in a selfless way.

The same Yehoash who we praised for the Temple repairs was quick to empty the Temple treasury when faced with the threat of invasion by Hazael of Aram.

Yehoash sets up an accountable and honest system for fund raising for Temple repairs.

Athaliah is deposed, Yoash is seated upon the throne of the Davidic Kings, and ba'al is eradicated from Judah.

Athaliah, daughter of Ahab, takes advantage of the vacuum left by Yehu's murderous rampage and goes on a killing spree of her own, leading to her taking over the Kingdom of Judah.

We review the story of Yehu and where he went wrong.

Yehu allies with Yehonadab and together they trick the followers of Ba'al into attending a great ceremony. Yehu then slaughters everyone at the gathering and smashes the temple of Ba'al. Yehu's future career however, descends into failure.

Yehu continues to wreak his vengeance upon the House of Ahab, but begins to carry the violence way past his original mandate.

Yehu continues to take vengeance against the evil house of Ahab, as Ahaziah King of Judah is killed and Jezebel gets thrown out of a window to the dogs.
