BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes Judah and Benjamin and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 9. BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as Judah and the Northern Kingdom as Israel. Finally, note that 1. Chronicles 1 9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy. Chronicles covers the same period of time as 2 Samuel and both describe the reign of David See the Timeline above whereas 2 Chronicles covers the same period of time as 1 Kings and 2 Kings and both describe the time from Solomon to the Babylonian Captivity. In Chronicles the kings of Israel See table below where Jeroboam I identifies first of the kings of the 1. Northern tribes are not mentioned unless they do something that relates to the kings of Judah. Note that the word chronicle means a continuous and detailed account of historical events arranged in order of time. In First and Second Chronicles God has given us a very accurate history so that we can know all that He wants us to know about the period of the kings.

Adapted Wilkinsons Talk thru the Bible Jensens Survey of the OTCHRIST IN 2 KINGSA M HODGKIN2. Kings Power for Service. The blessing that Elisha craved, in asking for a double portion of the spirit of his master, when Elijah was about to be taken from him 2. Kings 2 9, was not to be twice as great, but to have the portion of the first born son. The first born son inherited a double portion of his fathers property, twice as much as each of the other sons Deut 2. Elisha asked to have the prophetic office, and with it the power of the Spirit to enable him to fulfil it. In this last scene, we sometimes almost wonder whether we are in the Old Testament or the New. We have an ascending master, a waiting disciple, a descending power. Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto Me Acts 1 8. No Christian is exempt from the call to be a witness. Christ wants witnesses everywhere, and we cannot do it without His power. Thou hast asked an hard thing 2. Kings 2 1. 0. There are two conditions 1 Absolute surrender. In his first call, Elisha showed this thoroughness. He shows it now. Unhindered by the discouragement of others, and even by the seeming discouragement of his master, he pressed on from point to point, having counted the cost. It is a serious thing to follow Christ He always bids us count the cost. At last it meant Jordan itself death to the self life. The baptism of the Spirit always means a baptism into the death of Christ Rom 8 8 1. Gal 2 2. 0. 2 The second condition was faith. If thou see me when I shall be taken from thee, it shall be so. He kept his eye fixed on his master. And Elisha saw it. The result was, he rent his own clothes no more dependence on self and took up the mantle of Elijah, for that was to be his only power now. He put it to the test at once, and was able to do the same works as Elijah had done. The works that I do shall ye do also Joh 1. And the prophets found it out 2. Kin 2 1. 4,1. 5, and a life of blessing and service to others was the outcome Rev. E. W. Moore. Salt. Kings 2 1. 9 2. The healing of the waters of Jericho at their source, by casting in salt from a new dish, touched the people of Elishas day, and is full of significance for us. It shows the power of the Gospel to change mens lives at their source. Christ brought this life giving power in His perfect manhood. But we may recognize the new vessel also in every renewed heart which brings the power of the Gospel to other lives. Christians are to be the salt of the earth Mat 5 1. Dr. Thomson tells us there seems no reason to doubt the identity of the fountain which tradition points out as the scene of the miracle. The water is abundant, transparent, sweet and cool, and abounds in fish, and on the margin of this delightful brook grow a great number of bushes. Ditches. 2. Kings 3 1 2. The miracle by which water was brought to relieve the need of the hosts of Israel, Judah, and Edom, who had combined to put down the rebellion of Moab, also contains a lesson on the manner of the Spirits coming. When the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha, he said Make this valley full of ditches. It was a valley to begin with, a low place, a place of humility. Gods rivers choose the valleys to flow in. Water always seeks the lowest level. But ditches had to be cut, the humbling work carried still further. If we would be the means of blessing to others, we must allow the Lord to cut His channels deep in our hearts. For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, and your beasts. No sound, but the waters came. So it is with the Spirit He came sweet influence to impart,A gracious, willing Guest,While He can find one humble heart. Wherein to rest. And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. Again we are reminded that it was Calvary that procured the blessing of Pentecost. A Pot of Oil. 2. Kings 4 1 7In the multiplication of the widows pot of oil, we have another illustration of the work of the Spirit. Again, it is a lesson of emptying. The poor widow had nothing in the house wherewith to discharge her debt, save a pot of oil. We also owe a debt we cannot pay. We are debtors to live after the Spirit Rom 8 1. Rom 1. 3 8, we are debtors to carry the Gospel both to the Greek and the Barbarian, both to the wise and to the unwise Rom 1 1. Nothing of our carnal nature can avail to discharge the debt. The oil the Holy Spirit will alone avail. But as in faith we begin, at Gods bidding, to pour it out into the empty vessels around us, we shall find that His supply is an inexhaustible one, and that the only limit is the measure of our expectation.
