The "Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries" provide compact, critical
commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use of
theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also useful
for upper-level college or university students and for those
responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to
providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament
writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of
careful interpretation, to assist students of the Old Testament in
coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical
texts themselves.
This study of the Books of Kings unfolds with attention and
sensitivity to the immense literary artistry that craft these
narratives. While setting forth the literary and theological
significance of these traditions concerning the major figures in
these canonical books, i.e. Israel's Kings, this commentary
consistently trains our attention upon the minor characters also
resident in these stories. Fixing upon these individuals as well as
the prophets, the exegetical discussion often discloses how God's
Word is embodied and made known by those we might least expect.
While steadfastly avoiding analogical readings, the theological and
ethical exposition skillfully engage the reader by amplifying the
resonances in these texts echoing in our own world today. The
present volume gives an up-to-date, readable commentary on the
books of 1-2 Kings. The commentary covers critical issues section
by section while emphasizing the larger theological and literary
issues in Kings and illustrating its relevance for modern
readers.
