1 Kings
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
1 Kings is a book in the Hebrew Bible that covers Israel's history from the death of King David to the destruction of the nation, including the division of the kingdom. The book focuses on the reigns of various kings in both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, with some being good and others being wicked. The book also highlights the importance of prophets in Israel's history, including Elijah and Elisha, who performed miracles and signs from God. Despite its historical nature, the book's value lies in God's assessment of events and the way it offers moral lessons and instructions for obedience to God's word.
