Babylon in 2 Kings 20
BAB-ih-lun
This place shows up in 2 Kings 20:12: “At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Kings 20:12
“At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.”
What kids can learn
When you hear babylon in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Kings 20:12 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
