Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The remaining historical books, which now come under consideration, record a continuation of Hebrew history. They complete the story of Jehovah's dealings with the Chosen People. After the rapid conquest of Canaan, there followed the period of the Judges. At length the monarchy was established under Saul, reached its culmination under David and Solomon, was disrupted under Rehoboam, and then passed into a period of decadence, until at last the Hebrews were carried in captivity to Assyria and Babylonia.
