"This detailed commentary on 1 Chronicles 10-2 Chronicles 9, the second of the author's planned three-volume commentary on the book of Chronicles, will be very helpful to anyone interested in the book itself, and to anyone eager to know more and think more about the stories and portrayals of David and Solomon in 1-2 Chronicles and the Hebrew Bible as a whole. The author should be congratulated." -- Ehud Ben Zvi, University of Alberta, USA "This volume is more than a commentary-it is a super-commentary that evaluates and reflects upon the modern exegesis. It addresses the textual, literary, ideological, and historical dimensions of the Book of Chronicles, and it does so with clarity and scholarly sensitivity. Professor Levin's unique expertise in the historical geography of the Land of Israel, coupled with his profound understanding of biblical lists and genealogies, positions him as perhaps the foremost scholar equipped to interpret the Chronicler's particular interest in these genre- areas that have long puzzled earlier commentators. This book is a masterful contribution by a mature scholar who commands the full range of disciplines necessary for a modern biblical commentary. It offers a compelling interpretation of a work that reflects the historical thinking and theological vision of an anonymous historian of the early Second Temple period." -- Aaron Demsky, Bar-Ilan University, Israel.
