A Compendium of the History of the Jews from the Time of Nehemiah and Malachi to the Birth of Christ (1827 Clarke), essay
A Compendium of the History of the Jews, from the Time of Nehemiah and Malachi to the Birth of Christ; Filling Up the Chasm Between The Old and New Testaments (1827) is an essay by Adam Clarke.
Abstract
Just as the title points out, Clarke's brief history is designed to fill the gap between the Testaments, beginning with "the closing" of the Old Testament and the death of Nehemiah and ending with the birth of Christ and the advent of the New Testament. A straightforward, concise account based predominately on Josephus, whom he follows quite closely, with a number of brief anecdotes culled from 1-4 Maccabees.
