A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Author splan, in illustration of the history of the Hebrew people, embraces three books. The first in order of time, though it was second in the order of publication, is The Pillar of Fire, or Israel in Bondage. The central figure of this book is Moses. It takes up the Hebraic history at the time of the sale of Joseph into Egypt, and closes it with the promulgation of the Two Tables of the Divine Law from Sinai. The present work, The Throne of David, is an attempt to illustrate, after the same plan, the grandeur of Hebraic history, when the People of God had attained, under the reigns of David and Solomon, the height of their power and glory as a nation. The central figure of this work is David, Prophet, Priest, and King, and type of HIM, who as the last Prince of his house, transferred the Throne of David from earth to heaven from Jerusalem below to Jerusalem above. It presents David as a shepherd, and a poet; in his friendship with Jonathan; in his victory over the Philistine ;in the splendour of his regal magnificence ;in his flight from Prince Absalom ;and in all the scenes of his later life. Absalom in his rebellion, and Solomon in his kingly glory, are leading features of the work. The aim of the writer is to invest with popular interest one of the most interesting periods of Hebrew history distinguished by the contemporaneous existence of four of the most wonderful men of any age, viz., David, Saul, Samuel the Prophet, and Solomon the greatest and wisest of men.
