April 23, 2013 – 2 Kings 11 – 12

As far as I can tell, Athaliah is in charge, and it says she is the mother of Ahaziah, so is this our first Queen of Judah.  I didn’t realize there were any queens, but I can’t see any other named person being the ruler between Ahaziah and Joash.

We also see that both of these new kings, Joash and Jehu, get rid of Baal worshipers.

I also guess that we have seen the end of Elisha because it appears that they move on to a new prophet or advisor when it comes to protecting the king and anointing him.
