2 Kings 17-25 (Some visual notes for the lesson tomorrow in Sunday School that I'll be teaching)
It's really cool to think that right now we are in the gathering of Israel, so we have that as a direction connection to when the tribes were scattered thousands of years ago.
Satan's arguments against our faith, and our ammunition to protect ourselves from the adversary and his attacks.
I also love the connections between 2 Kings and Nephi and Lehi. Josiah might have overcorrected, which is why Lehi didn't agree with and preached against the Jews. Josiah's Deuteronomistic reforms: God doesn't have a body, you can't see him, his name is in the temple, only temple in Jerusalem. Lehi Lehi preached that he had seen God, he has a body, Lehi built an altar and worshiped God outside of Jerusalem.
Also, since Jerusalem had been miraculously preserved with Hezekiah's guidance against Assyria, that explains why Laman and Lemuel didn't believe that Jerusalem could be destroyed. 1 Nephi 2:13
