About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Holy Bible, in the Authorized Version

Solomon his son, in his father's lifetime. Thus the Books of the Kings are joined on to those of Samuel; and the reign of David ?ows In a quiet stream into that of Solomon, who is followed by an uninterrupted succession of Kings, of the house of David even to the end of the Book. What may we suppose to be the design of the books of kings? What special work do they perform in preparing the way for the Coming of Christ? In order to answer this question, let us first look back to the books of samuel, and then cast our eyes forward to those of chronicles. The Books of Samuel, as has been already observed 2, display to us Samuel, who was only a Levite, and not of the family of Aaron, as raised up by an extraordinary commission from Almighty God, in a corrupt and disordered age of the Hebrew Priesthood and Sanctuary, to perform the acts of a Priest; and who offered sacrifices in various places, and not at one fixed spot; and who thus revealed a glimpse of christ, the faithful Priest not of the family of Aaron, Whom God would raise up in degenerate days, for the work of an universal and eternal Priesthood, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for us 4. Samuel also, by uniting in his own person the office of Prophet and of Priest, foreshadowed Christ, Who is the Great Prophet, as well as the Everlasting Priest.
