"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.
