We are going to cover a lot of ground in this week’s podcast as we shift our gaze from the northern Kingdom of Israel and Samaria to the southern Kingdom of Judah. We will see the first and last Wicked Queen of Judah, a boy king whose life is miraculously saved, and another king taken captive by the north. Jerusalem will even be invaded in this episode!
