Focusing on a nuanced interpretation, this study reexamines the concept of kingship in the Old Testament, moving beyond the traditional view of kings as predominantly tyrannical figures. It delves into the original context of kingship and highlights five significant rulers: Jeroboam, Ahab, Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Josiah. By emphasizing a more positive vision of kingship, the book draws on themes from the Psalms, Sirach, and Chronicles, ultimately presenting a hopeful and joyful perspective on humanity.
