1 Kings Introduction

The First Book of the Kings

Commonly Called the Third Book of the Kings.

First Kings records the death of David, the reign of Solomon, the building of the temple, death of Solomon, division of the kingdom under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, and the history of the two kingdoms to the reign of Jehoram over Judah, and Ahaziah over Samaria. Includes the mighty ministry of Elijah.

The book is in seven parts:

  1. From the rebellion of Adonijah to the death of David, 1Ki 1:1 - 1Ki 2:11.
  2. From the accession of Solomon to the dedication of the temple, 1Ki 2:12 - 1Ki 8:66.
  3. From the division of the kingdom to the death of Jeroboam and Rehoboam, 1Ki 12:1 - 1Ki 14:31.
  4. The kingdoms to the accession of Ahab, 1Ki 15:1 - 1Ki 16:28.
  5. Accession of Ahab to his death, 1Ki 16:29 - 1Ki 22:40.
  6. From the reign of Jehoshaphat to the accession of Jehoram over Judah, and Ahaziah over Samaria, 1Ki 22:41-53.

The events recorded in First Kings cover a period of 118 years (Ussher).
