The Expositor's Bible: The First Book of Kings is a scholarly theological work by Frederic W. Farrar. Farrar was a cleric of the Church of England, a schoolteacher and author. Excerpt:" Were we to judge the compiler or epitomator of the Book of Kings from the literary standpoint of modern historians, he would, no doubt, hold a very inferior place; but so to judge him would be to take a mistaken view of his object, and to test his merits and demerits by conditions which are entirely alien from the ideal of his contemporaries and the purpose which he had in view."
