The Second Book of KingdomsΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β′

A six-tier Greek reverse-interlinear of all 24 chapters of the Septuagint text: each word color-coded by grammatical case, with gloss, parsing, Wallace-style syntax, aspectual semantic force, and a lexical note; each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note, under a chapter argument-outline.

695 verses · 17,927 annotated words · 24 chapters. The Greek follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint (Rahlfs–Hanhart in its main wording, itself an ancient, public-domain text); the distinctively copyrighted apparatus is not reproduced. Versification follows the LXX.
