This commentary on I and II Kings is written from a Protestant Evangelical position. Auld looks at the historical and theological aspects of the book. He uses linguistic and literary skills to analyze each chapter and verse. The period of this book covers the last days of King David's reign through the destruction of the temple by the Babylonians. Auld does well to help teachers, preachers and lay people with this easy to read yet in depth book.

In this illuminating commentary, A. Graeme Auld helps readers understand the message--historical and theological--contained in the story of the Israelite monarchy. The message of the books of Kings remains relevant to today's world. It concerns power and the constant need for remaining faithful to an authority that is superior to earthly rulers.

Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.

A. Graeme Auld is Professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Edinburgh School of Divinity in Edinburgh, Scotland.
