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 \u0026amp;quote;peaks of unbelievable glory and  valleys of unforgettable despair.\u0026amp;quote;\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","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147087036656,"sku":"9781575678979","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575678979_p0.jpg?v=1763796897","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575678979","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
