The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah
Author: Yigal Levin
Publisher: T&T Clark
ISBN: 9780567683908
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
The book of Chronicles, the last book of the Hebrew Bible and a central historical book of the Christian Old Testament, has in recent decades gone from being “the Cinderella of biblical studies” to being one of the most researched books of the Bible. The anonymous author, often simply called “the Chronicler” by modern scholars, looks back at the old Israelite monarchy, before the Babylonian exile, from his vantage point in the post-exilic early Second Temple Period, and attempts to “update” the older historiographies of Samuel and Kings in order to elucidate their meaning to the people of his own time. In The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, Yigal Levin does the same for the modern reader. He offers a brand-new translation and commentary on 2 Chronicles chapters 10-36, tracing the “sacred history” of the monarchy from the division of Solomon's kingdom to the final exile and return. Each chapter is translated from the original Hebrew into an English that is both faithful to the original and easy for the modern reader to follow. Extensive footnotes provide full explanations of the translator's choices and of linguistic and literary issues, taking note of alternative versions offered by a wide array of ancient and modern versions and translations. The comprehensive commentary on each section provides historical background and explains the text both on a literary and a historical level, making full use of the most up-to-date research on the text, literature, history, geography and on the archaeological background of the biblical world. The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah is to be followed by The Chronicles of David and Solomon on 1 Chronicles 10 – 2 Chronicles 9, and then by The Chronicles of All Israel on the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 1-9 and including comprehensive essays on the book of Chronicles, its time, purposes, methods and meanings.

The Kings of Judah and Israel
Author: Christopher Knapp
Publisher: Triangle Press
ISBN: 9781583391747
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The inspired books of Kings and Chronicles bear a relationship one toward the other somewhat similar to the four Gospels. They each give their own insight even though not exactly similar -- no two in the same way. Yet together they form a most perfect harmony, being arranged by one Master of Assemblies. Each Gospel in itself perfect, yet requires what the others contain to express the fourfold beauty there is in Christ. As Christ was King -- so in the two Books into which we want to glance we find kings. Some very Godly, others exceedingly wicked -- others began very wicked and became Godly. The King of kings who came as the true King of spiritual Israel fulfilled all the expectations of the true Israel.

First & Second Chronicles- Everyman's Bible Commentary
Author: John Sailhamer
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575678799
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
To its own generation the book of Chronicles was a vivid reminder of hope in the faithfulness of God, a reminder of the promise--made both to the world and to the house of David--of peace and prosperity, to be fulfilled through the covenant people of God. Structurally, the book may be considered an exegetical summary of Old Testament history. Not only does it recount the important events of God's dealing with Israel, but it also explains the significance of those events to Israel's history.

The World of Ancient Israel
Author: Society for Old Testament Study
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521423922
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Encapsulating as it does research that has been undertaken on the sociological, anthropological and political aspects of the history of ancient Israel, this important book is designed to follow in the tradition of works in the series sponsored by The Society for Old Testament Study which began with the publication of The People and the Book in 1925. The World of Ancient Israel is especially concerned to explore in greater depth than comparable studies the areas and degrees of overlap between approaches to the subject of Old Testament research adopted by scholars and students of theology and the social sciences. Increasing numbers of scholars have recognised the valuable insights that can be gained from a cross-disciplinary approach, and it is becoming clear that the early biblical traditions about the formation of the Israelite state must be examined in the light of comparative anthropology if useful historical conclusions are to be drawn from them.
