Synopsis
Excerpt from The Second Book of the Kings<br/><br/>We find here the key to the origin and character of all the three sources of information accessible to the compiler of Kings. 'the Book of the acts of Solomon' comprised three works written by prophets contemporary with Solomon, and which, embracing the whole period of his reign, were naturally soon gathered into one treatise, and called by one collective name. The prophetic spirit and the religious drift of all we read in the history is thus accounted for. In the notes it has been remarked that the whole purpose of the narrative is to picture Solomon's life a success, and the building of the Temple as acceptable, in so far only as the one was led in the fear of Jehovah, and the other stood as a token of obedience to the divine will; and that when Solomon's decline began, it is God who is represented as raising up the adversaries against him. A record of such a character is the composition of no mere historiographer, but bears on the face of it the imprint of pro phetic hands.

The Second Book of the Kings: With Introduction and Notes (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, provides an in-depth exploration of the biblical texts found within the books of 1 and 2 Kings. The writer, part of a group of editors under the General Editorship of A. F. Kirkpatrick, D.D, offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the Old Testament texts and the history, character, and significance of the books of 1 and 2 Kings. The writer places the work within its broader historical context by describing the division of the books from Samuel into Kings by Greek translators, their subsequent division into two parts by the Latin versions, and their later adoption by the Jewish tradition. Furthermore, the writer offers a verse-by-verse textual and historical commentary that sheds light on the complex world captured within 1 and 2 Kings, the reigns of the kings, and the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The text also provides insight on such figures as Elijah, Elisha, Micaiah and the prophets who stood as champions of God's word during some of the darkest days of Israel. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330671818_0
