1 Kings

John Van Seters
"A clear, forceful, and innovative presentation of historiographic forms in the Book of Kings. It sets a high standard for the subsequent treatment of historical narrative both within this series and in Old Testament studies in general, and will serve as an important reference work for years to come."

David M. Gunn
"Burke Long writes with style, clarity, and a most welcome sensitivity to the literary qualities of his text. The book is a mine of information and insight. . . Strongly recommended to student and research scholar alike."
