PREFACE.

"Teach the Bible from the Bible itself."-Congress of Church School Managers, Leeds, 1877.

THIS book gives the authorised version of the First and Second Books of Kings from the Death of Solomon, arranged in Lessons, with Analyses, Notes, and Summaries. No other books need be used with it, for it at once takes the place of the Bible, without superseding it, and also the handbooks now in such common use by students. It is so arranged that there is a lesson to learn and a lesson to read upon nearly every subject, and the summaries at the heads of the lessons may with advantage be revised alone, just before examination.

Important texts to be committed to memory are printed in larger type.

LESSON 1.-The FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS are united in one in the ancient Hebrew copies.
