1 Kings Overview + 1: David, on His Deathbed, Fights for Solomon’s Succession

Recap of Where We Are + How Kings Fits into the Bible:

The Bible is a collection of small stories that together tell a much larger story.

• The larger story is the entire history of our redemption, with Jesus as the ultimate hero.
• Kings is in the middle of that history. We are on a journey through God’s plan to save us. 

How does 1 and 2 Kings fit into the Bible?

• 1 Kings is the 11th book in the Old Testament and 2 Kings is the 12th.
• The Old Testament has 5 divisions. The next division is called the History books which include 12 books. The division is aptly named because these books describe Israel’s history in Canaan. We have discussed 5 of the History books, seasons 5-10. The Books of Kings are right in the middle of The History Books, which begins with the book of Joshua and ends with the book of Esther.
