Places
Kidron in 2 Kings 23
KID-ron
This place shows up in 2 Kings 23:6: “He brought out the Asherah from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Kings 23:6
“He brought out the Asherah from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.”
What kids can learn
When you hear kidron in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Kings 23:6 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
