Beginning this volume is a chronological table of the kings of Judah and Israel. Drawing from other Old Testament references, Lumby's commentary of Kings continues in this second volume with a wealth of historical background and cultural facts. His elucidations are concise, providing a solid commentary for 2 Kings in just under 300 pages.
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.
