An Outline Introduction to the Bible—1 & 2 Kings

Bible: Divine revelation of God’s plan for redemption in Christ, kingdom rule in Christ, and the Glory of God in Christ—Resulting in love for God and man 1

Part 1: Old Testament—Redemption in Christ and the kingdom of God anticipated [Promised] 2

II. The Prophets: The prophetic history, and call to the nation to look to Yahweh as king and to anticipate His coming kingdom

  1. The Former Prophets: The faithfulness of Yahweh and the failure of the nation to faithfully follow Him 3
    1. 1 & 2 Kings: The nation’s kings refused to follow Yahweh as King, and King Yahweh faithfully fulfilled His promise of national discipline and exile (cf. Deu 28-29) 4
      1. The distinction and yet disappointment of Solomon’s kingdom as son of David (1Ki 1-11)
      2. The divided kingdom and yet divine witness through God’s prophets (1Ki 12-22; 2Ki 1-17)
      3. The declining and deported kingdom—and the need for a Divine Davidic King (2Ki 18-25)

1 2Ti 3:15; Eph 1:3-14; Mat 22:37-40; cf. Gen 1:1ff; Isa 45:18-25; Dan 2:44; Zec 14:9, 16-17; Rev 22:3-5

2 See for example Gen 3:15; Gen 12:3; Psa 2; Psa 22; Psa 118:22-23; 1Ch 17:11-14; Isa 7:14; Isa 9:6; Isa 53:1-12; cf. Luk 24:27, 44-47; Jhn 1:45

3 See Deu 28-30

4 The covenant curses of Deu 28-29 are seen throughout Israel’s monarchy, with the exile coming in 2 Kings 25
