The Kingdom of Israel has split into two.
Judah is tiny but retains Jerusalem and its temple, and a dynasty descended from David.
Israel is vast in comparison but in separating from Judah, it appears to have also separated itself from God.
In these chapters, Israel enters a kind of death spiral from which it seems impossible to pull out, while Judah just about clings on.
However, this nation seems one godless - or childless - king away from ending the bloodline and cancelling the divine promise that a son of David will remain on his throne forever.
