Of Prophets and Kings: A Late Ninth-Century Document (1 Samuel 1-2 Kings 10)

by Antony F. Campbell

This erudite book presents the evidence for an early document, extending from 1 Sam 1:1 to 2 Kgs 10:28 and deriving from northern prophetic circles toward the end of the ninth century B.C. and identifies the text of this document, without appeal to emendation or dislocation of the present OT text. This book also considers its significance and some of the consequences which derive from it.
