Bring in the next King!

I am now in 2 Kings. And the Kings just keep coming. They mostly do evil in the eyes of the Lord and lead the entire nation of Israel (which is now actually two nations) into sin. Even the ones who do right in the sight of the Lord do not take down the high places where the people continue to offer sacrifices and offerings.

The whole King system is not going well--to say the least.

Just like God parades the animals in front of Adam so that Adam will see what will not do as a helpmeet, it seems that the Old Testament parades every possible solution for a "helpmeet" for God and nothing seems to really work. All these people are just running around acting like a bunch of animals.
