The history of Israel is filled with stories of corrupt kings, a divided kingdom, and exile.  However, God's sovereignty shines through as He uses broken people to achieve His purposes.  The books of 1 and 2 Kings center around the climax of the great overarching history of a world created by God and of a particular people in it who were handpicked by Him.  The Navigator Bible study follows the chronological events of Israel's eventual downfall while teaching valuable lessons about God's will and character.
