8. I. INTRODUCTION
TO THE FIRST BOOK OF THE KINGS
AUTHORS: Jeremiah DATE: c. 550 B.C.
Title Originally one book, 1 and 2 Kings are appropriately titled from their
subject matter, which traces the history of the kings of Israel and Judah from
Solomon to the Babylonian captivity. First Kings concludes abruptly with the
beginning of the reign of Ahaziah in 853.
Author Jewish tradition attributes the book to the prophet Jeremiah. Clearly the
author used historical sources in compiling the book (11:41; 14:19,29), and the last
chapter of 2 Kings must have been written by someone living in Babylon rather
than in Egypt, where Jeremiah died.
Purpose The purpose of the book was not only to record the history of these
kings, but to show that the success of any king (and of the nation as a whole)
depended on the measure of his allegiance to God’s law. Failure resulted in decline
and captivity.
Contents Important passages in 1 Kings include the description of Solomon’s
great wisdom (chaps. 3-4), the dedication of Solomon’s Temple (chap. 8), the visit
of the Queem of Sheba (chap. 10), and the ministry of Elijah (particularly his
confrontation with the priests of Baal on Mt. Carmel, chap. 18).
