Commentary on THE BOOK OF KINGS

By Dr Peter Pett BA BD (Hons-London) DD

The book of Kings commences with the death of David and the enthronement of Solomon and describes God's dealings with Israel and Judah throughout the reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah, the former ending with the fall of Samaria, and their scattering among the nations, and the latter with the destruction of Jerusalem, and the commencement of the Exile.
