Spanning 1500 years, this chronicle charts all the leaders of Israel from the ancestors through the united monarchy under David and Solomon, to the fall of Israel (to the Assyrians) and Judah (to the Babylonians), ending with the Second Temple Period, which saw Persian and Greek rule, and finally, Roman domination. The volume covers crucial questions in biblical scholarship, such as the fierce debates about interpretation of the Bible and how archaeology can inform our readings of Old Testament accounts, as well as the concept of kingship itself as it applies to ancient Israel.
