The book combines recent research with archaeological and epigraphic evidence. It sets the scene with the geography and history of Israel, its origins and social structure, and moves on to look at towns and villages, agriculture, industry and trade, as well as religion and the arts.

Detta är en i arkeologiskt grundad tematisk genomgång av Israel före den persiska erövringen. Den levererar precis detta, vilket gör att den egentligen inte är användbar utan en pendang i form av en serie härskarbiografier och händelsebeskrivningar av mindre historiskt nogräknat slag. Det gör tyvärr att den skjuter bredvid målet, om detta är att vara en beskrivning av Israeliternas historia: För lite kontext ges för att informationen som man bidrar med skall bli användbar.
