Israel had undergone captivity once before, in Egypt. This time the people were in exile because of disobedience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe books of 1 and 2 Kings were meant as an antidote for the sorrow of heart that afflicted their souls. Robert L. Hubbard, Jr. guides you through the maze of kings and empires, prophets and priests, that are the subjects of those two Old Testament historical books. In those books, Hubbard says, are \"peaks of unbelievable glory and valleys of unforgettable despair.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis study of 1 and 2 Kings and of the chaotic time chronicled in those books is written in a comfortable style but with scholarly care. Hubbard applies to our lives today the lessons learned through years of pain. Scholar and layman alike will appreciate the combination of readability and scholarly investigation that marks this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBERT L.
