The post-split northern kingdom of Israel had been conquered and absorbed by Assyria, which itself has been conquered by the Babylonians. Only the southern kingdom of Read More

But I was re-reading the Biblical book 2 Chronicles recently—probably among the least-read books of the Bible since it goes over a lot of the same history as does 2 Kings—and re-encountered a rather tragic phrase: “…he departed with no one’s regret.” (2 Chronicles 21:20).
