1 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:

to the death of David, 1:1-2:11.

3. From the division of the kingdom to the death of Jeroboam and Rehoboam,
12:1-14:31.
4. The kingdoms to the accession of Ahab, 15:1-16:28.
5. Accession of Ahab to his death, 16:29-22:40.
6. From the reign of Jehoshaphat to the accession of Jehoram over Judah, and
Ahaziah over Samaria, 22:41-53.
The events recorded in First Kings
cover a period of 118 years (Ussher).
