Babylon in 2 Kings 24

This place shows up in 2 Kings 24:1: “In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.

2 Kings 24:1

“In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.”

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 24:1 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
