The Family Midrash Says- Melachim 2
The Family Midrash Says- Melachim 2
The Family Midrash Says is a synthesis between the Little Midrash Says and The Midrash Says, created in response to readers' requests for an adult interpretation of the Early Prophets.
It retains the large type, the readability and the illustrations typical of the Little Midrash Says, while the text has been expanded to challenge the adult reader as well.
The Book of Melachim 2 opens with a description of the miracles performed by the prophet Elisha. It goes on to portray the often turbulent and tragic events in the lives of the kings, ending with the dissolution of both kingdoms. We gain appreciation of the fact that history is not shaped by any king's clever political maneuvering but is determined by Hashem alone in accordance with the Jewish people's moral level.
The often complex topics of the Book of Melachim 2 have been substantially simplified. Nevertheless, this volume is recommended for mature readers.
Recommended from age 10 and up.
