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.<ref>http://www.biblecentre.org/commentaries/ar_11_ot_overview_12kings.htm</ref> <ref>The NIV Study Bible, Zondervan Corporation, 1985 </ref>
