Full Description
The Book of Kings covers a period of about
four hundred years, beginning with the last days of King David and
ending with the Babylonian exile. During most of this period, the
Jewish people was devided into two kindoms, the Kindom of Judah in the
south, and the Kindom of Israel in the North. The Kindom of Judah was
ruled by the descendants of King David, the rightful anoited kings. The
Kindom of Israel was ruled by kings from among the other tribes. The
high point of the Book of Kings, and indeed of all Jewish history, was
reached with the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem by King
Solomon, which is described in detail in Chapters 6 & 7. The Torah
Anthology provides a picture of the Temple that is complete yet easy to
understand, in both its text and the many original illustrations of the
Temple and its furnishings.
