Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Hebrews, Vol. 2 of 2 I have often been asked as to the historical limits of my book. My theme has been the history of the Hebrews. But this terminates amid the ruins of ancient Jerusalem, under which we may say that the ancient Hebrew people found its grave. The history of Israel, it is true, goes farther; it is continued in the history of the Jews, and has not yet reached its end. Perhaps I may some day find time and opportunity to follow up the History of the Hebrews with a history of the Jews, at least in its earlier portion. The analysis of the text of the Book of Kings has been carried out on the presuppositions gained from the analysis of the Books of Judges and Samuel, of which I have given the results in the Translation of the Old Testament, edited by Kautzsch (1894). It was a satisfaction to me to see that, starting from these principles, I reached conclusions quite similar to those reached by the translator of the Book of Kings in Kautzsch's work, in which it should be noticed that the symbol 'Sa' (in 1 Kings) corresponds to my own symbol 'So.'
