The words of Jeremiah then MUST be understood within his world, the events of which are presented in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, the prophetic books of Jeremiah, Zephaniah, and some of Ezekiel.

In this teaching, we examine events recorded in Kings and Chronicles and look for traces of these events within the words of Jeremiah.
