The Melchizedek Bible, Volume 2 The Books of David

Volume 2 is from Joshua through the first set of Psalms and the Proverbs..These books are collectively the books of David because the turbulent eras of the first kingdoms of Israel in the Promised Land corresponds with the situation of David's generation that was wrestling with internal strife and corruption. .There were many ongoing struggles for power within the newly established kingdom of Israel. From the time when the aging Joshua relinquishes the rule given to him by Moses, until the days of Solomon and Proverbs, the kingdom of Israel was afflicted with internal strife between good and bad rulership. .After the kingdoms of David and Solomon, many of the kings were bad guys, and so Elijah appears on the scene to rebuke Ahab and his corruption. .Next, a line of prophets denounce the rulers of Israel, and warn of impending doom. Before long that is manifest in the Assyrian invasions of Israel, and the Israelites are taken captive, and exiled over by the rivers of Babylon. .Volume 3, The Books of Elijah, follows after volume 2, The Books of David.
