Guys, it's been a while. It has been a while. We've been traveling.

Mainly I've been traveling.

Jim's been traveling a little bit, but mainly I've been traveling. We weren't able to do this.

I've gotten a few texts, a few emails, a few tweets and people like, hey, did Bible Talk get canceled?

And I was like, I don't think so. But here we are again. You know, we've, we're sort of

landing the plane on, on Second Kings. And our goal, we're going to do two more episodes on

Second Kings and then take a summer break. But you'll hear more about that next episode.

Today, we're going to talk about Second Kings 23. Second King's 23.

And in our last episode, which was not last week, it released about a month ago, I think,

we discussed the beginning of King Josiah in his reign.

We talked about, honestly, we spent like, I re-listened to it this morning to kind of refresh my memory.

We talked about how almost like this Indiana

Jones situation where King Josiah finds not the long lost scroll, which you might come across,

you might think like this was the only scroll in existence, but Jim, you called it like the

authoritative scroll. The temple scroll. Yes, the temple scroll. We talked about how Josiah began to rebuild the temple, doing all sorts of good stuff.
