The Hebrew Monarchy Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Hebrew Monarchy "The Hebrew Monarchy" is the eleventh volume of "Carroll's Interpretation of the English Bible." They have been published in the following order: "Revelation," "Genesis," "Exodus-Leviticus," "Numbers to Ruth," "The Pastoral Epistles," "Daniel and the Inter-Biblical Period," "The Four Gospels," Volume I, "The Four Gospels," Volume II, "The Acts," and "James, Thessalonians, Corinthians." The present volume concerns itself with the transition period marking the change of the government of the Hebrew nation from that of the judges to that of the kings. Only three kings are considered - Saul, David and Solomon. The book is of intense interest from its opening sentence to its closing word. There is nothing known to me in the catalogue of commentaries covering this period that is more luminous or that holds a greater interest for the Bible student than the present volume. Not only does Dr. Carroll deal with the history, which in itself grips the reader with an enduring charm, but as he progresses in the interpretation of the history he brings to us lessons new and old out of the Divine Word that cannot fail to edify, enlighten, and strengthen every one who shall be so fortunate as to peruse these pages. In going over this manuscript and preparing it for publication I feel that I have been treading upon sacred ground. It was revised by Dr. Carroll in his last illness while he lay in bed, and the marks of his fast increasing infirmity of body abound throughout the volume.
