Using the Cambridge Paragraph Bible, J. R. Lumby travels through the first book of Kings after introducing the author, canonicity, and a discussion of the Hebrew text. From David's later years and death to the reign of Jehoshaphat, the lineage of Israel's first Kings is outlined in this commentary.
There are no better books in exposition of the different parts of Scripture than those contained in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges. The series has long since established its claim to an honorable place in the front rank of first-rate commentaries; and the teacher or preacher who masters its volumes will be, like Apollos, mighty in the Scriptures.
