1 Kings: 1-11 (Concordia Commentary)
This history presents God—the holy, righteous, just, merciful, compassionate, gracious, omnipotent, and omniscient Deity—in relationship with Israel, from the tenth to the sixth centuries BC, anticipating the Son of David and Solomon, Jesus Christ. This record of Israel’s kingship always returns to the basis of that history—that God’s people depend on Him for life and salvation.
