"Keep the charge of the LORD your God ... that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn." --1 Kings 2:3
In this detailed commentary on 1 Kings, John N. Oswalt highlights the prophetic value of Old Testament narrative. Israel's fate is tied to its kings, and particularly whether they treasure or disregard God's revelation. A faithful king cultivates a faithful people. But when kings stray from God's commands, God sends prophets to call them back to repentance. Oswalt explains the book of 1 Kings and reveals its prophetic voice for modern life.
The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series is a premier biblical commentary rooted in the original text of Scripture. Each volume includes historical and literary insights and addresses exegetical, pastoral, and theological concerns, giving readers a full understanding of the text and how to apply it to everyday life.
John N. Oswalt is visiting distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He is the author of several books, including The Bible among the Myths: Unique Revelation or Just Ancient Literature? and two commentaries on the book of Isaiah.
