2 Kings Introduction - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS COMMONLY CALLED THE FOURTH BOOK OF THE KINGS

This, and the preceding book, are properly but one book divided into two parts, because of the size of it, as the book of Samuel; it is a continuation of the history of the kings of Israel and Judah; and for a further account of it the reader is referred to the title of the preceding book.
