Commentaries

| Jerome Walsh | 1 Kings (Berit Olam) | Intermediate
 | Outstanding!!
 | An excellent ‘narrative commentary’ (but read with discernment). Catholic series, assumes results of critical scholarship. However, the author is interested the final form of the text, and exposits the narrative with skill. (more…) | |
| Iain Provan | 1 and 2 Kings (NIBC) | Easily Accessible
| Great!
| Accessible & Evangelical. Provan is interested in the narrative techniques of Kings, particularly ‘patterning’. E.g. Asa is patterned after the character of Solomon. Gives little time to historical/ archeological approaches. (more…) | |
| Paul House | 1 & 2 Kings (NAC) | Intermediate to Advanced
 | Great!
| Theological and literary approach. Includes synthesis of other recent work. Evangelical perspective. (more…) |
