Rogue monarchs, assassins, war and intrigue.
The Bible continues to toggle between the nation of Judah to the south and Israel to the north as the spiritual needle moves further away from God and edges ever closer to outright paganism.
With the Jerusalem temple now seen by Judah's kings as an exercise in architecture and interior design, the outlook for the nation has never been bleaker.
