Description:
This new translation of I Kings, by the translator and coauthor of the Anchor Bible Commentary edition of II Kings, recounts the history of Israel. Beginning with the death of David, the book describes the reign of his successor, Solomon, the building of the first Temple, and the division of the monarchy into the two separate kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The great prophecies of Elijah, who reminded the Israelites that their loyalty to God would determine their fate, form a second thread throughout the text. Mordechai Cogan examines these dual themes in a refreshingly clear and eloquent style, providing authoritative commentary on both the historical and religious aspects of this Old Testament book.
