From the time God appointed Saul of Gibeah the first king of Israel, to the time of the nation’s Babylonian captivity, a total of forty-two kings ruled over the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
Fascinating stories arise from this era. Stories of wise kings, warrior kings, mighty kings; honorable, God-fearing kings. Tales of kings who were irredeemably corrupt; evil, murderous, wicked kings. And a queen whose bogus reign ended in her violent demise.
But through all these stories runs one intriguing thread: When the kings were good, did what was right in the eyes of the
Lord and boldly enforced His law, the people, too, were good. But when the kings were bad, the people were, well, rotten.
This book offers a brief, memorable and sometimes humorous story about each of these kings; it will stir up your interest in the rulers of the Old Testament, and send you dashing back to Scripture, to meet them yourself!
