Royal illness as portrayed in the Hebrew Bible anticipates the failure of kingship resulting in the destruction of Israel and Judah. This is the first systematic study of royal illness in this context. It will be of interest to students and scholars of history in the ancient Near East, biblical studies, medical humanities, and disability studies.
