Journeys Through the Books of the Prophets - Melachim 2 - Part 3

Please Join Our Live Classes @ https://thetrugmans.com/events-ohr-chadash/ More @ https://thetrugmans.com In this class, we dive into one of the most tumultuous and "gory" periods of Jewish history. From the anointing of Jehu and the total destruction of the house of Ahab, to the miraculous survival of young King Joash in the south, we explore the political and spiritual decay of the divided kingdoms. We also bid farewell to the prophet Elisha, whose influence and miracles extended even beyond his death.
