P022892
The Book of 1 Kings is a portion of the true history of Israels monarchy composed for the sake of theology. The focus on the kingship is supplemented by mention of prophets who interacted with the monarchs, but the main subject of this elegant literature is God.
This history presents Godthe holy, righteous, just, merciful, compassionate, gracious, omnipotent, and omniscient Deityin relationship with Israel, from the tenth to the sixth centuries BC, anticipating the Son of David and Solomon, Jesus Christ. This record of Israels kingship always returns to the basis of that historythat Gods people depend on Him for life and salvation.
