The book of '''II Kings''' is the continuation of [[I Kings]]. Like its predecessor, it is a historical time line showing how the kings of [[Israel]] and [[Judah]] obeyed or disobeyed God and is part of the [[Old Testament]] of the [[Bible]]. It starts with King [[Ahaziah]] and continues until the last king of Judah and the start of the [[Babylonian exile]] in 586 B.C. This book was approximately written during the time of the Babylonian Exile of the Jews, somewhere between 560 and 550 B.C. (In the Hebrew Bible used by [[Judaism]], there is only one book called "Kings".) The author of this book is uncertain, but many Jewish traditions believe [[Jeremiah]] to be the author.
