2 Kings Chapters 22 to 25

Part 28 of the series in 1 and 2 Kings.  Josiah's bold reforms bring the focus back to worship of God, but the exile of Judah is now inevitable and a quick succession of ungodly kings reign as puppets first of Egypt and then of Babylon until, in 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzat destroys Jerusalem and the Temple.  The book ends with hope, though, as Jehoicahin finds favour in Babylon.
