2Kings 1-3

Overview of chapter 1
Ahab’s son Ahaziah, the current king of Israel, fell and hurt himself. He sent messengers to find prophets of Baal to see if he would live. Elijah, the prophet of the real God, met these men on their way and told them that the king would die. When the messengers brought word to the king sent a group of 50 military to get Elijah, but God sent fire to destroy them. This happened twice, and the third group of 50 bowed down to Elijah, so the Lord allowed Elijah to go with them. When Elijah got to the king he repeated the message that the king would die.

Overview of chapter 2
Elijah knew that he was going to die, and he journeyed from Gilgal to Jericho. He tried to convince Elisha to let him die alone, but Elisha refused to let him go alone. When Elijah got to a river the Lord divided the waters so they could cross on dry land. Elijah went to heaven in a whirlwind behind a chariot. When Elisha returned some men begged him to allow them to go look for Elijah. He allowed it, but they did not find him.

Elisha’s first act as Elijah’s successor was to purify the waters around Jericho.

When Elisha was traveling some kids made fun of him, and God sent some bears to kill them.

Overview of chapter 3
Moab rebels against King Jehoram.
