Will we use these things wisely for kingdom purposes, or foolishly abuse them for selfish gain? Then the middle of the story, on the divided kingdom, shows the destructive consequences of sin among the people of God - especially the sin of idolatry.

By contrast, at the end, the people faced complete reversal: they and their king were in exile; Jerusalem and the temple lay in ruins. How can this story of reversal, told by the very people who suffered that defeat, be of value today, and equip us for every good work? In this rich and insightful commentary, John W. Olley guides us through The Message of 1 \u0026amp; 2 Kings. With deft, accessible scholarship, he shows us how the writers of Kings retell the past as preached history, and how that helps us to understand the way they speak to us today. Within the account of paths leading to short-term success but ultimate failure, there are pointers of hope, of God's continuing purposes and promises, and of the peoples' response in the present. In rich and often surprising ways, the story told in Kings is one that continues to shape the faith and life of Christian believers today. Unpacking its meaning careful precision, Olley helps us understand that everyday life, along with the turmoil of national and global events, is the arena in which God's people are called to worship, trust and obey him. Part of the million-selling Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries, The Message of 1 \u0026amp; 2 Kings offers a cogent, readable exposition of the Biblical text as well as thoughtfully discussion of how it is relevant for Christians today.

Presenting Israel's national history from a divine viewpoint, these narratives measure the kings of Israel and Judah, not by the mark they leave on secular history, but by their 'doing what is right in the Lord's sight'. Embedded in this story are enduring lessons of the ways of God with his people in every age.?Donald Wiseman brings to this portion of Scripture his life-long study of the archaeology, history, languages and documents of the Ancient Near East. No other commentary on Kings offers as much historical background and well-considered judgment in such concise and accessible form.  \u003cbr\u003e***-Publisher.***  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 and 2 Kings","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572892959007,"sku":"9781844742646","price":72.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781844742646_130558.jpg?v=1769400140"},{"product_id":"1-kings-the-wisdom-and-the-folly-focus-on-the-bible-commentary-series-262835","title":"1 Kings - the Wisdom and the Folly (Focus On The Bible Commentary Series)","description":"\"The range of scholarship is extraordinary (is there any learned book or paper on First Kings that this writer has not winkled out?).
