      Introduction

      Fitting right on the heels of Second Samuel, First Kings is the exciting record of the continuing legacy of kings of both Israel and Judah. The long story of David, a righteous king in God’s eyes, comes to an end, and the activities of his son, Solomon, and grandson, Rehoboam, lead to a rebellion and national split. For the second half of First Kings, we are looking in on two Kingdoms and their dealings with each other. What can you gain from reading First Kings, and before what background was it written? Let’s find out.

      Author

      Who is the writer of First Kings? Since these two books may seem like natural extensions of First and Second Samuel, one might think that the two Kings books were penned by the same writers—Gad and Nathan. That isn’t the case, however.

      First and Second Kings was written by Jeremiah the prophet. How do we know that? First, Jeremiah’s penmanship of First Kings has never been questioned by authorities—either Jewish or Christian. It also seems likely because Second Kings ends right up to Jeremiah’s time. Also, First Kings seems to focus al lot on the activities of prophets, and less on the actual kings of Judah and Israel. Elijah and Elisha are highlighted several times in First Kings, for example.

      Doesn’t it seem strange that Jeremiah is not mentioned at all in the story of First or Second Kings? Not at all. After all, Jeremiah was not writing in order to gain glory for himself in the writing of this record. He was no doubt inspired to write these things in order to preserve the history of God’s chosen people before the destruction of Jerusalem, which is an event that Jeremiah lived to experience.

      So yes, even though Jeremiah is not
