Continues the story of the divided kingdoms, their decline, and eventual exile.

Chapter 1

KJV - 2 Kings 1:4

Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

So now, the Lord says, you must not leave this bed you're on. You will definitely die here. Afterward, Elijah left.
