Summary
Volume 2 of Matthew Henry’s An Exposition of the Old and New Testament covers the historical books of the Old Testament from Joshua through Esther, that is, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1–2 Samuel, 1–2 Kings, 1–2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. Henry says this volume spans Israel’s story “from their first settlement in the promised land” after Egypt and the wilderness to their restoration after Babylonian captivity. So the material moves from conquest and settlement to monarchy, division, decline, exile, and return. In practical terms, it is the section of his commentary focused on narrative history rather than law, prophecy or poetry.
