| Summary | "The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Kings" by Anonymous is a biblical text that reflects the historical account of the Kingdom of Israel during a tumultuous period, likely compiled in the late 6th century BCE. The book chronicles the reigns of various kings, detailing their actions, the prophetic leadership of figures like Elijah and Elisha, and significant events such as revolts, battles, and divine interventions. The opening of this text introduces readers to the prophetic ministry of Elijah alongside the reign of King Ahaziah, who seeks guidance from the god Baal Zebub after falling ill. In response, Elijah delivers a message from Yahweh, emphasizing the importance of loyalty to God over foreign idols. The narrative continues with Elijah's dramatic encounters with various captains and the king, underscoring Elijah's prophetic authority and power, and sets the stage for the transition to Elisha's ministry. Elisha’s initial actions, including parting the Jordan and healing water sources, highlight the continuity of prophetic power as the story unfolds in the context of Israel’s relationship with Yahweh amid political strife.
