TOTC 09: 1 and 2 Kings

The book of Kings is a unique source for understanding the history of Israel
from the last days of the united kingdom under David to the eventual fall of
the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Presenting Israel's national history from a
divine viewpoint, these narratives measure the kings of Israel and Judah, not
by the mark they leave on secular history, but by their 'doing what is right in
the Lord's sight'. Embedded in this story are enduring lessons of the ways of
God with his people in every age.

Donald Wiseman brings to this portion of Scripture his life-long study of the
archaeology, history, languages and documents of the Ancient Near East. No
other commentary on Kings offers as much historical background and
well-considered judgment in such concise and accessible form.

This classic commentary has been completely retypeset and presented in a fresh,
vibrant new large paperback format, with new global branding.
