The Rise and Fall of Israel and Judah
The book of 2 Kings tells the story of Israel and Judah's final centuries, from Elijah's confrontation with Ahab to the fall of Jerusalem. We've walked the ruins of Samaria, where Jehu carried out his bloody revolution, and the hills of Megiddo, where Josiah died in battle. This map traces the key events: Elijah's ministry in the north, Elisha's miracles, Hazael's rise in Aram, and the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions that ended both kingdoms. For travelers in Israel, Jordan, and Iraq, this map connects the stories of 2 Kings to the land where they unfolded - from the Jordan River to the Euphrates.
