Building on a lifetime of research and writing, A. Graeme Auld examines passages in Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and Isaiah that recount the same stories or contain similar vocabulary. He advances his argument that Samuel and Kings were organic developments from a deftly crafted, prophetically interpreted, shared narrative he calls the Book of Two Houses—a work focused on the house of David and the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem. At the end of the study he reconstructs the synoptic material within Kings in Hebrew with an English translation.

Features

aAcritique of the dominant approach to the narrative books in the Hebrew Bible

A solid challenge to the widely accepted relationship between Deuteronomy, cultic centralization, and King Josiah’s reform

Key evidence in the heated contemporary debate over the historical development of Biblical Hebrew
