n 1 Kings covers the 120 year period from the beginning of Solomon's reign in 971 B.C. through Ahaziah's reign ending in 851 B.C.
n The key date is 931 B.C., the year the united Kingdom was divided to become the Divided Kingdom.
? Northern Kingdom of Israel - 10 tribes. ? Southern Kingdom of Judah - 2 tribes. n In the original Hebrew Bible, the books of 1 & 2 Kings
were originally one book. n Four major events in 1 Kings:
? David's death ? Solomon's reign ? The division of the Kingdom ? Elijah's ministry. n 1 Kings is a record of disobedience, idolatry, and ungodli-
ness which serve as an explanation for the Assyrian Captivity of Israel in 721 B.C. and the Babylonian Captivity of Judah some 135 years later in 586 B.C.
n The first half of 1 Kings details the life of Solomon.
n Near David's death, Adonija, Solomon's half-brother, at-
tempts
to take David's throne. Nathan the prophet
alerts David
who quickly directs the coronation of So-
lomon as
coregent.
n The Temples is constructed in Jerusalem 5:1 - 6:38
n Solomon's great request: 1 Kings 3:9 - "Therefore give to
Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your
people, that I may discern between good and evil. For
who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
n The divided kingdom brought:
? Two nations
? Two sets of kings
? Continual strife and conflict, sometimes resulting in war.
n The northern kingdom is plagued by apostasy.
n Of all the northern and southern kings listed in 1 Kings, only
Asa (15:9-24) and Jehoshaphat (22:41-50) do what is
right in God's eyes.
