2 Kings 24 — Babylon’s Advance and the Fall of Judah’s Kings
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave
Date: Friday, September 12, 2025 • Passage: 2 Kings 24 (ESV) • Teacher: Dave Jenkins
Show Summary: In 2 Kings 24, Babylon rises as God’s instrument of judgment. Jehoiakim rebels, Jehoiachin surrenders, temple treasures are taken, and Zedekiah’s reign sets the stage for Jerusalem’s collapse in chapter 25. Exile begins—yet God’s Word proves certain and His redemptive plan points us to Christ, our faithful King.
