The conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in the book of 2 Kings is something that could be made into a movie. John Wodhouse, author of a commentary on 2 Kings, has taken those Scriptures and turned them into a narrative that is filled with political intrique, deception, righteousness, conquest, and the destruction of Baal worship in the kingdom. The four movements that he places on the narrative are:
Cunning (2 Kings 10:18–21)
Care (2 Kings 10:22, 23)
Destruction (2 Kings 10:24–27)
A good outcome? (2 Kings 10:28)
