1+Kings

The books in the history section of the Old Testamentare Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, **1 Kings**, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. The book is called **1 Kings** because it tells us about the fate of the kings in Israel. So that basically wraps it up for ya. Stay tuned for 2 Kings coming up next on 7CS2.
 * 1 Kings** is in the Old Testament of the bible under history. It goes for about 37 pages and it continues the history of the Isralite monarchy that begun in the books of Samuel. It can be made into 3 differerent books, 1 The succession of Solomon as king and the death of his father, 2 the reign and achievements of Solomon and 3 the division of the nation into the northern and southern kingdoms. In both of the Kings books (**1 Kings** and 2 Kings) each ruler is judged by his loyalty to God. The kings of the nortern kingdom fail but the kings of the Judah have mixed results.
