| Summary | "The Bible, King James version, Book 11: 1 Kings" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the early centuries AD. This book is part of the Old Testament and chronicles the reigns of the kings of Israel, especially focusing on King Solomon, as well as the events concerning the kingdom's division after his death. Central characters include King David, Solomon, and several key political and religious figures of Israel, whose actions and decisions impact the nation's fate. The opening of 1 Kings introduces a critical period in Israel's history, beginning with the old King David nearing death. His final decisions set the stage for the power struggle between his sons—primarily Adonijah and Solomon—as they vie for the throne. Amidst this turmoil, Bathsheba and Nathan seek to ensure that Solomon, whom God had chosen to succeed David, is confirmed as the rightful king. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights themes of loyalty, divine prophecy, and the consequences of leadership, providing a backdrop to the significant events that will shape Israel's future.
