II Kings (Volume 11 in the acclaimed Anchor Bible) is the chronicle
of the raging conflicts that tore the United Kingdom of Israel
apart, creating the rival nations of Israel to the north and Judah
to the south. It tells of the time of the great prophecies of
Elijah and Elisha, and of the legendary conquerors of not only the
Jews, but the whole of the Middle East--Sennacherib, Hazael,
Tiglath-pileser III, Nebuchadnezzar, and Shalmaneser. The book of
II Kings was written with a dual purpose. It provided a
chronological history of the divided kingdoms of Israel, from the
time of division, through the destruction of the city of Jerusalem,
and the final exile of the Jews into Babylonia. It also served as a
reminder to all Israelite monarchs that their loyalty to the God of
Israel, as worshipped in Jerusalem, determined the course of
history. In his telling of the story, the book's author emphasized
to his contemporaries and future generations that in order to avert
the calamities that befell the Chosen People (their conquest by
nonbelievers, the destruction of Jerusalem, and their ignominious
exile), they would have to avoid a repetition of the misdeeds of
the past. If they remained loyal to their God, their God would
remain loyal to them. Complete with maps, charts, photographs, and
extra-biblical documentation, II Kings presents an important and
illuminating new translation which explores a tumultuous epoch of
change that forever affected theological and world history.
