AB This 7th volume in the popular Old Testament for Everyone series tells the story of Israel when it was a monarchy, from the accession of Solomon to the exile. In the story, the people of Israel acknowledge the ways in which they failed to follow Yahweh, their God, and ask God's forgiveness. Perfect for daily devotions, Sunday school preparation, or brief visits with the Bible, the Old Testament for Everyone series is an excellent resource for the modern reader
