1 Kings

Commentary on 1 Kings – Frank Marshall

Today’s free biblical commentary is Frank Marshall’s work for schools on 1 Kings. Marshall demonstrates great skill in his pithy summaries of the reigns of the kings or Israel and Judah, which I am sure many will find helpful when teaching on the book today.

My thanks to Book Aid for making this public domain book available for digtisation.
