Places
Galilee in 2 Kings 15
GAL-ih-lee
This place shows up in 2 Kings 15:29: “In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Kings 15:29
“In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.”
What kids can learn
When you hear galilee in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Kings 15:29 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
