"The LORD warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and every seer."--2 Kings 17:13
In this detailed commentary on 2 Kings, John N. Oswalt highlights the prophetic value of Old Testament narrative. The kings of Israel and Judah persist in ignoring God's word. Faithful to his word, God brings judgment on the north and the south. But despite Israel's covenant failure, 2 Kings ends with a flicker of hope that God will fulfill his word to David. Oswalt explains the book of 2 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.
