Synopsis

History of Israel, Volume IV: Disruption and Decline of the Kingdom This volume explores how Israel and Judah entered a turning point, with the kingdom splitting and powerful forces shaping its fate. It lays out the political, religious, and military pressures that led to the decline, including the struggle between the northern and southern kingdoms and their responses to external threats.

In clear, accessible prose, the book traces:
- How the ten-tribe northern kingdom and the kingdom of Judah divided, and what that meant for borders, loyalties, and identity.
- The rise and fall of key powers, especially the Assyrian empire and Egypt, and how their actions influenced the fate of Israel.
- The evolving role of prophets, reform, and literature as Israel and Judah faced upheaval.
- Major episodes like the destruction of Samaria, the siege events, and the shifting alliances that shaped this era.

What you’ll experience:
- A structured overview of the political split and its consequences for governance and culture.
- Context on foreign pressures and how they accelerated decline.
- Insights into the development of prophetic and literary voices during this period.
- A guide to the major turning points that ended the united monarchy and set the stage for later history.

Ideal for readers who want a detailed, evidence-based account of how the kingdom’s power and morality evolved as it faced external and internal challenges, and for those studying the broader arc of ancient Israel.

Ideal for readers of historical narratives that connect dynasty, faith, and statecraft during a tumultuous era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
