In 1858 , Davidson became Hebrew tutor in New College. Here he produced an ''Elementary Hebrew Grammar'' (2nd ed., 1896 ) and his ''Hebrew Syntax'' ( 1894 ). In 1862 his first book on Job (chapters 1-14) was published by Williams & Norgate. When, in the following year, the chair of Hebrew fell vacant, Davidson was appointed professor by the unanimous vote of the Free Church Assembly . In 1871 he was chosen to be one of the Old Testament revision committee. Davidson was the author of a book on Job, published in 1884 as one of the ''Cambridge Bible Series''. For the same series he wrote the commentaries on Ezekiel , Nahum , Habakkuk , and Zephaniah . He wrote also in the series of handbooks published by T. & T. Clark a commentary on the ''Epistle to the Hebrews'' ( 1882 ); and he furnished many important articles for the ''Bible Dictionary'' edited by Dr. Hastings, among them ''Covenant'', ''Eschatology of the Old Testament'', ''God'' and ''Prophecy''.
