2 Kings 24 · Grade 2

Taken Far Away

Name Date

Read the Story

A king named Nebuchadnezzar ruled Babylon. His army came to Jerusalem. The people had not obeyed God for a long time.

The young king of Judah gave up. Babylon took him far away. They took many people too. They took the gold from God's house.

Only the poorest people stayed. It was a sad time. But God still loved His people. He would bring them home one day.

Memory Verse

“He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.”

2 Kings 24:14 (WEB)
