Guiding Questions: II Kings 13

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What was the “Asheira” that stood in Samaria?
When the text refers to the fact that all that the kings of Israel did is detailed in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel, to which book or books does this refer?
Notice that even in death Elisha’s powers can raise people from the dead.
Additionally, notice the fact that the author of this book ties in the Covenant that God had made with our ancestors as the most compelling reason for God to save the remnant of the Jewish people.
