In this detailed commentary on 1 Kings, John N. Oswalt highlights the prophetic value of Old Testament narrative. Israel's fate is tied to its kings, and particularly whether they treasure or disregard God's revelation. A faithful king cultivates a faithful people. But when kings stray from God's commands, God sends prophets to call them back to repentance. Oswalt explains the book of 1 Kings and reveals its prophetic voice for modern life.
