2 Kings Videos

What this page covers

Where the videos go in 2 Kings

The 3 videos here reach 2 of the 6 movements in 2 Kings: “Leprosy, an Axe Head, and a Siege Lifted” (2 Kings 5–8) and “Assyria Comes, and Hezekiah Prays” (2 Kings 15–20). Others take the book as a whole.

Leprosy, an Axe Head, and a Siege Lifted (2 Kings 5–8). A foreign general is told to wash seven times in a river he does not respect, and goes away clean and angry at how ordinary it was. Later four lepers walk into an abandoned enemy camp during a famine and decide they cannot keep the news to themselves.

Assyria Comes, and Hezekiah Prays (2 Kings 15–20). King after king in the north does evil while the empire closes in, until Samaria falls and ten tribes are marched off and replaced by settlers. Then Judah hears Assyrian officers shouting insults at the wall in the local language so everyone can understand. Hezekiah carries the letter into the temple and spreads it open before God, and the army that could not be stopped goes home.
