The Bible's First Kings. Uncovering the Story of Saul, David, and Solomon, Hardback/***

This book argues that the Jewish kingdom of the Bible was real, as were its first three kings, Saul, David, and Solomon – even if the biblical stories distort their actions to glorify them. Combining fresh archaeological evidence with astute readings of key texts, the authors offer a compelling reconstruction of this fascinating ancient polity.
