Can Someone Help Me Unpack?

I'm in 2 Kings. Need I say more? Is there anyone who can provide a historical context as to why the syntax - back-and-forth between Judah and Israel - way of writing is significant? I find it terribly confusing and I'm in that mode of feeling like I'm being left out of some deeper meaning hidden in the text. It is definitely washing over me. He was a good king...he was a bad king...and did I miss entirely where and when Judah and Israel split??? Was it during the reign of one of Solomon's sons?

If you have read 2 Kings and gotten an "Ah-Ha!" meaning somewhere in all of it, will you please tell me?


Oy-Veh!
