This paper was written by Carol Morgan with footnotes supplied by Ken Morgan. The main text is a flowing narrative giving the history of Israel and Judah from the division of the kingdom to the fall of Jerusalem. The footnotes (over 300) deal with various technical, exegetical, chronological, and archeological problems associated with this period of history. There are also six appendices on subjects too long and involved for footnotes. For example, one of the appendices discusses the serious problem with the dates of Hezekiah's reign.

This is a paper written by Ken Morgan. It begins with the divine judgment on King Jehoiachin in Jeremiah 22:30 ("Write this man childless!") and the impact it had on the Davidic covenant. It then explains how these subjects affect the interpretation of the two genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke. The difficulties of reconciling these genealogies are also discussed, and a solution is proposed.
