The Book of Quickies
I am hereby nicknaming the combined books of Kings (1 & 2), which I have just finished reading, "The Book of Quickies."
Or, the "Book of Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss."
Pretty boring, all in all. Except for a few fun parts.
Such as:
Elijah and the Prophets of Baal.
Elisha Traps Blinded Arameans (and proceeds to throw a party)
Otherwise, pretty boring. A couple of good smites, lots of slaughter, but mostly "Son of some guy, reign for xx years, then he keeled over dead."
Blech. On to Chronicles.
