2 Kings 2: Take A Sip
In this episode, we cover 2 Kings 13-25. Israel and Judah are stuck in a revolving door of bad kings, and we finally find out why. They misplaced the rule book! But I guess it didn't matter too much because after they find it, things are pretty much the same. Also, Israel and Judah fall to Assyria and Babylon and their people are exiled from the land.

2 Kings 1: The Greatest Showman
We're back! This episode we cover 2 Kings, chapters 1-12. Elijah's time comes to an end, but his young apprentice Elisha is just beginning to make a name for himself (which would probably be easier with pretty much any other name). Soon, he's enthralling crowds with necromancy, floating axes, and tasty stew. Meanwhile, Israel and Judah go through about a million more kings and good luck keeping the names straight. And of course, it wouldn't be the bible without some massacre. Arameans, Baal worshipers, and mischievous children. None are safe if Elisha has anything to say about it.

1 Kings 1: Solomon the Baby Ripper
What's the difference between a baby cut in a half and a Ferrari? Solomon didn't have any Ferrari's.
This episode, we're covering 1 Kings Chapters 1-11. David's oldest son learned nothing from his dead older brothers and attempts his own coup. Solomon is ultimately crowned king and David gives him a bit of fatherly advice - mostly he just gives him a list of executions he'd like performed. We also hear the story of Solomon's sharp (and a bit sadistic) wisdom as well as his 1000 wives who will eventually be his downfall.

David finds his kingdom usurped by his own son and is once again on the run. Finally, Yahweh commands another census and then rewards the kingdom with 3 days of pestilence for their obedience.

Customer Reviews
Obsessed.
I’m fairly new to this channel and 100% new to the Bible. I binged all the episodes in just a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for diving in deep– you confirmed my suspicions that I would not have made it through reading it on my own, let alone retained it and understood it. This is a great resource for someone who wants to get a feeling for what the Bible really is about. Highly recommend.
Great Review
For months I’ve been looking for a podcast that I can listen to while I drive, and this is very good. I enjoy the way they go through the entire Bible and point out how it doesn’t make sense to someone reading it objectively. I grew up a Christian and now I’m embarrassed that I used to believe in this stuff without question.
More entertaining and thoughtful than it has any right to be
This podcast is well researched, thoughtful, and more entertaining than I ever expected—I’m on my second (and not the last) listen through the episodes and it’s fascinating every time. Thank you so much for making this!
