I sat down and read 2 Kings, tonight, it seemed like a good way to relax a little bit. The book was interesting but I found myself skimming over much of it. A name with several syllables was made king, sometimes before they turned 10. Somethings happened, they didn't follow Gods laws as well as could be, then their reign was over. Then it said that the certain kings activities could be found in the annals of history. I was really surprised when I finally interpreted that the israelites finally fell out of favor. Babylon was overtaken and God was fine with it. The worship of other gods was really what did it though. After all the signs and acts and Godly deeds that had been done, the people still turned to false idols. They really had it coming.
I also found a name that I wont' forget soon. Nebuchadnezzer was the leader who over took babylon. It was also a ship in the matrix that hauled neo and morpheus's crew about. The wachowski brother really did a good job with symbolism in their matrix trilogy.

You know there are good Bible studies that will help you understand the books of the Bible better. Kings weren't just kings for no reason.. there was a purpose for why everything happened the way it did in the OT, which led to the coming of Christ. I guess I am educated in this area because I have a minor in Bible, but there are some good Bible studies online. I found a good one once about the book of Job, which is one of my favorite books in the Bible.
