AB 11: 2 Kings
A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
II Kings 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.
Cogan and Tadmore are historically oriented experts in Mesopotamian " studies. Thus it is not surprising that they concentrate on the Mesopotamian
historical backdrop of the book. - Tremper Longman"
Series: The Anchor Yale Bible Commentary, volume 11.
