2 Kings 17 — The Fall of Israel (Samaria) and the Reason Why

Reading the Bible Daily with Dave · September 5, 2025 · Speaker: Dave Jenkins

Show Summary

In 2 Kings 17, Israel’s capital, Samaria, falls to Assyria. Scripture does more than record an event—it gives God’s verdict: covenant-breaking, persistent idolatry, and refusal to heed His Word. This sobering chapter warns us against divided worship and points us to Christ, the faithful King who ends our exile.
