Do yourself a favour and grab a study bible. Learn FIRST Kings. Then see how out of context your quote-mining of 2nd Kings is.
Sir, your statement was: Every time we see war and violence in the bible, it is started by humans. And God only intervenes to bring it to a hasty conclusion.
"Justified" or not, God did nothing to bring it to a hasty conclusion. He was happy about it. My context fits quite well with your statement, since you made no reference to justification. Which I fail to see.
