Episode 4: Where have all the good kings gone?
Circling back to Micah's political context: the story of the kings of Israel in the years before their downfall is a sorry one. So too for the southern kingdom of Judah, where Micah preached, though there were a couple of reasonably good kings during Micah's time. As this episode summarizes, Israel would be swept away by Assyria, and Judah would be swept away by Babylon.
