2 Kings 21 - 23 

Now, I'm caught up again for a hot second. 

I did google how one can die from a boil. The general answer is that it may cause infection in the body. Fig poultices can be good for boils. Now my question is, did they know this? Had they tried it already for King Hezekiah?

I remember some of the story of Josiah from Sunday School. He was a young king. A priest found the book of the covenant. Josiah was dismayed that the book of the covenant was not being followed. Josiah got all the people back in line. It is a story of learning, repentance and obedience. It is, to me, a beautiful story. I can also see reasons it was taught to children. 

I do wish that after the age of children's bible stories, we would make an effort to return to some of the more "adult" stories. Perhaps, in a way, that is what I'm doing now.
