division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern
Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the
Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern
Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1Chronicles 1-9 is not identiﬁed on the timeline
because these chapters are records of genealogy.

1 Chronicles covers the same period of time as 2 Samuel and both describe the reign of
David (See the Timeline above) whereas 2 Chronicles covers the same period of time
a s 1 Kings and 2 Kings and both describe the time from Solomon to the Babylonian
Captivity. In Chronicles the kings of Israel (See table below where Jeroboam I identiﬁes
ﬁrst of the kings of the 10 Northern tribes) are not mentioned unless they do something
that relates to the kings of Judah. Note that the word "chronicle" means "a continuous
and detailed account of historical events arranged in order of time." In First and Second
Chronicles God has given us a very accurate history so that we can know all that He wants
us to know about the period of the kings.

Christ in the Historical Books

4. The Six Books of the Kings: [1&2 Samuel; 1&2Kings; 1&2Chronicles]

In the Hebrew, these six books are only three, each pair forming but one book.

Samuel and Kings form a consecutive history. The Key-note of both is Kingdom.

Chronicles is the story of 2Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings told over again from a diﬀerent
standpoint. Its Key-note is Theocracy. It deals only with the Kingdom of Judah, and relates
to the history as it touches the Temple and the worship of God. It was possibly written by
Ezra.

The special privilege of the Children of Israel was to have God for their King, and to be
chosen by Him to be a peculiar people unto Himself, to show forth His praise in the world.

During the period of the Judges, Israel had rejected God from being their King. This
rejection reached a climax in Samuel's day, when ''they asked for a King like all the
nations'' [1Sam 8:5,19,20]. When God's children are afraid of being diﬀerent from the
world around them, they lose their power of testimony for Him.

God gave them Saul-- a King after their own heart.

When Saul broke God's covenant through disobedience, God gave them David-- ''a King
after His own heart'' [1Sam 13:13,14].

David was a type of the one perfect King. Solomon, likewise, was a type of Him. But after
Solomon, God's power departed from the kings and became vested in the prophets. Elijah
sent word to Ahab, ''Behold, Elijah is here! And Ahab went to meet Elijah'' [1Kings 18:8,16]
As [D.L.] Moody said, ''Who was king now?'' Moses was a prophet. Samuel was a prophet,
as well as being the last of the Judges, and also priest. But the great line of prophets began
with Elijah, and they represented God to His people through all the years of the decline
and fall of the monarchy.
III. Christ in the Historical Books

7. 1Kings --

We need the magniﬁcent reign of Solomon, the Prince of Peace, to complete the picture of
Christ our King. The Lord said to David: ''Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a
man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be
Peaceable, and I will give peace and quietness in Israel all his days.'' Solomon's peaceable
kingdom was the result of the victories David had obtained. [Likewise,] it is because Christ
has fought and conquered our enemies that we can enjoy the peace of His glorious reign in
our hearts. The Kingdom of God is ''righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost''
(1Chron 22:9, margin; Rom 14:17).

The Temple. [1Kings ch. 5 - 8]

The glory of Solomon's reign was the building of the Temple. He seems to have been raised
up specially for this purpose, for David says: ''He hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon
the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. And He said unto me, Solomon thy son,
he shall build My house and My courts… Take heed now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to
build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it'' (1Chr 28:5-10). But for the account
of the Temple, we will wait till we come to the Book of Chronicles.

''Solomon in All his Glory.'' [cp. Mat 6:28,29]

The wisdom of Solomon is a foreshadowing of the wisdom of Christ, in ''whom are hid all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge'' [Col 2:3].

Psalm 72 is a ''Psalm for Solomon.'' It describes the glory of his kingdom, but it finds its
perfect fulfillment only in the reign of One greater than Solomon, who shall indeed one day
''have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.'' But
though the millenial fulfilment of this Psalm is yet to come, it has a fulfilment already in
those hearts where the King is reigning in righteousness. Solomon said to Hiram, King of
Tyre, ''The Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither
adversary nor evil occurrent'' (1King 5:4). The magnificence of his kingdom is described in
1Kings 4:21-34: ''And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms, from the river unto the land
of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served
Solomon all the days of his life… And he had peace on all sides round about him. And
Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree.''

The Queen of Sheba. [1Kings 10:1-13; 2Chr 9:1-12]

Our Lord Himself draws the contrast between the Queen of Sheba, who ''came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,'' and the men of His
generation, who were so indifferent though ''a Greater than Solomon'' was among them
[Mat 12:42]. Following the same line of thought, the visit of the Queen is a beautiful picture
of a soul coming to the Saviour and finding full satisfaction in Him. (Ed: See caveats
regarding Typology - Study of Biblical types)
She came from afar off, and we ''who sometimes were afar off are
made nigh by the blood of Christ.'' [Eph 2:13]

She brought all her hard questions to Solomon, and communed with
him of all that was in her heart. We may bring all our difficulties to the
Lord, and we shall find, as she did, that ''there is not anything hid from
the King'' which He cannot solve for us. We, too, shall find that He is
''made unto us wisdom'' [1Cor 1:30].

And when she had seen all his wisdom, and riches, and the
appointments of his kingdom, and his marvellous buildings, there was
no more spirit in her. And she said: ''It was a true report that I heard in
mine own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed not
the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the
half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame
that I heard. Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which
stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. Blessed be
the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of
Israel: because the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made He thee
king, to do judgment and justice'' (1Kin 10:6-9). [cp. 1Cor 2:9; 1Joh 3:2]

The Kingdom Divided. [1Kings 12 and onward]

Then follows the history of the divided kingdom-- a picture of the divided heart and of the
impossibility of serving two masters. The kings of Israel [the northern kingdom] followed
the example of ''Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin,'' by setting up the
worship of the golden calves, and all their kings were given to idolatry. The history of the
Kingdom of Israel is an almost unbroken story of wickedness, king after king coming to the
throne through the murder of his predecessor.

2Kings 17 gives us the account of the Captivity of Israel, and goes fully into the reason of
this punishment. They had descended to the very level of the nations whom God had
[commanded] His people [to] drive out of the land-- exactly what He had predicted, as the
result of their disobedience, had come to pass. They forsook the Lord, and served the gods
of the heathen, and walked in their ways, and wrought according to their wickedness, and
therefore God permitted the King of Assyria to carry Israel away captive into Assyria,
according to His warning, given by Moses in Deu 29:24-28. ''And the Lord rejected all the
seed of Israel, and aﬄicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He
had cast them out of His sight'' (2Kin 17:20).

The Prophets.

Long before the outward semblance of royalty had disappeared, God had transferred the
power from the kings to the prophets. Out of the darkness of this evil time, two figures
stand forth as His witnesses, showing us that through all the failure, God was quietly
working onwards towards His eternal Kingdom of Righteousness.
Elijah and Elisha, in the contrast of their characters and of their mission, remind us of John
the Baptist and of our Saviour. Our Lord Himself referred to John the Baptist as fulfilling the
prophecy that Elijah must first come before the coming of the Son of Man. ''Elias verily has
come,'' He said [Mat 17:10-13]. Elijah the rugged prophet of the wilderness, clad in his
mantle and leathern girdle-- the ordinary dress of the Fellaheen [sic.], which every prophet
wore-- suddenly bursts upon the scene in the court of Ahab, and pronounces the judgment
of the Lord. ''As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be night-mist, nor rain
these years, but according to my word'' [1Kin 17]. [Note: ''The matar or 'rain' falls at all
hours during the winter, while the tal or 'night-mist' falls in the night in summer and
autumn.'' (Rev. J. Neil)]. The secret of his power lay in those few words ''before whom I
stand.'' He knew what it was to have power with God, and therefore, he had power with
man. He reminds us of John, clad in the same manner, at the court of Herod, denouncing,
as fearlessly, the sins of that king [Mar 6:17,18].

On Mount Carmel [1Kin 18], it was ''at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice''
that God sent the fire from heaven. We have several instances of deliverance coming at
the time of the morning or evening sacrifice, reminding us of the power of the Cross which
those sacrifices foreshadowed.

The Forerunner.

When God was about to send the rain in answer to Elijah's prayer, Elijah sent Ahab the
message, ''Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.'' [1Kin
18:44]. And then it appears that Elijah acted the part of sais to Ahab. The modern sais of
Egypt is the ''runner'' attached to the household of kings and nobles. The same custom
was in vogue in Israel, for Samuel warned the people that the king they so eagerly desired
would exact this oppressive custom of his subjects: ''He will take your sons, and appoint
them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his
chariots'' [1Sam 8:11]. ''These facts lend great force to the act of Elijah, who, in an ecstasy
of joy and zeal at the triumph of Jehovah, and desirous to 'honour the King' who for a brief
moment had honoured God, when the hand of the Lord came upon him, girded up his
loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel-- that is, for a distance of some twenty
miles or more across the plain of Esdraelon the man of God acted as the sais or runner of
the King, clearing the way for his chariot and announcing his arrival!'' [Palestine Explored,
Rev. J. Neil]. Does not this oﬃce of outrunner explain the ﬁgure of Hebrews 6:20: ''whither
Jesus entered for us as a forerunner''? He who, in His condescension, has said that in
heaven ''He will gird Himself and make (His people) sit down to meat, and will come forth
and serve them,'' is pictured here as having entered only a brief moment earlier to
announce their arrival and to be prepared to receive them there [Luke 12:37].

Elisha. [His call is recorded in 1Kings 19.]

Elisha's was a ministry of blessing and healing. In this he was a type of Christ. We have,
moreover, in the life and miracles of Elisha a series of most beautiful lessons on Christian
life and service. ''Ploughing one day with his father's oxen and servants, in the open
country, he saw the outlawed prophet of Gilead coming towards him. Passing by, he cast
his mantle upon him. Elisha knew what the sign meant. He was a wealthy man. The call
was to follow Elijah as a servant, pour water on his hands, perhaps to die with him. There
was no time to think, the decision had to be made in a moment. The call of God in his heart
was at once responded to. Obtaining leave to say farewell to his parents, he kills the oxen,
smashes up the implements, and shows to all his companions that he has no more to do
with his former life. God is calling each one of us, let us follow at whatever cost'' (W.H.
Wilson).

THE OLD TESTAMENT

REFLECTIONS OF CHRIST
PAUL R. VAN GORDER

OT Reﬂections of Christ

1 KINGS

The books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles present the history of the Kingdom of Israel.
The ﬁrst four give it from a human standpoint, and in Chronicles, it is seen from God's
viewpoint.

The time covered by 1Kings is about 120 years. The book begins with the death of David
and closes with the death of Ahab. One Bible scholar has said, ''During this time the nation
passes from affluence and influence to poverty and paralysis.'' The tragic note sounded in
1Kings 11:1 marks a turning point in Israel's history. ''But King Solomon loved many
foreign women… '' As a result, the flesh prevailed over the Spirit. We therefore read these
sad words in 1Kings 11:4, ''When Solomon was old, … his wives turned away his heart after
other gods.''

When 1Kings opens, Samuel is dead and David is dying. 1Kings 2 tells how this shepherd,
warrior, king, and psalmist went to be with the Lord. Solomon, David's son, then ascended
to the throne of all Israel. This book is important because it tells a story of sharp contrast:
ﬁrst, Israel's greatest splendor; second, Israel's tragic downfall. After Solomon's death,
there was a rebellion. The nation divided into two kingdoms-- Israel in the north and Judah
in the south. King after king led the people into idolatry. It's the old story of sin followed by
punishment.

Two men stand out more conspicuously than all the rest named in 1Kings-- Solomon and
Elijah. The story really centers upon these two leaders. As we study these men, we fulﬁll
the purpose for this volume-- to see Christ in every book of the Old Testament.

SOLOMON'S REIGN--

The name Solomon means ''peace.'' His reign is a type or picture of that reign of peace by
Him who is greater than Solomon [Luke 1:32; Mat 12:42]. (Ed: See caveats regarding
Typology - Study of Biblical types)

Solomon's reign was notable for ﬁve outstanding reasons:

Wisdom (1Kings 3:9-12; 4:29-34).

Jewish legend says that Solomon could even converse with the beasts
of the ﬁeld. His proverbs, 3,000 of which are recorded, demonstrate the
great wisdom that God had given him. What marvelous guidelines they
are for the conduct of life even now!

Peace and prosperity (1Kings 4:25).

Solomon's reign was an unusual time for Israel. The land had been torn
apart by war. Now came a time of calm, of peace. ''And Judah and Israel
dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his ﬁg tree, from Dan
even unto Beersheba, all the days of Solomon'' (1Kings 4:25).

The building of the temple (1Kings 5-7).

Solomon's temple was unsurpassed in his day for its splendor and
luxury. It was the crown jewel of Solomon's reign. Out of Israel came
30,000 men working in relays of 10,000 per month. In addition, 150,000
''strangers,'' 70,000 of them carriers and 80,000 stone workers, along
with 3,300 supervisors, assisted in the work.

God enters the temple (1Kings 8).

When the structure was completed and dedicated, the glory cloud, the
Shekinah, came down and ﬁlled it. This was the visible manifestation
of the presence of God in the midst of His people.

The visit of the Queen of Sheba (1Kings 10).

This inﬂuential ruler said to Solomon, ''It was a true report that I heard
in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom'' (1Kings 10:6). The
wealthy ruler was so impressed with what she had heard and seen that
she gave the glory to God, saying, ''Blessed by the LORD thy God, who
delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel'' (11Kings 0:9). A
Gentile queen beholding the wealth and beauty of Solomon's reign is a
picture of what God has yet in store for this earth.

ONE GREATER THAN SOLOMON--

The gospel according to Matthew begins with the words, ''The book of the genealogy of
Jesus Christ, the son of David.'' The designation ''son of David'' immediately brings
Solomon to mind, arrayed in all his kingly glory. His reign is a foreview of what will take
place when David's greater Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, rules over the earth.

God has decreed that a man is going to rule this world in wisdom. Isaiah wrote, ''And there
shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots;
and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD, … but with
righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth;
and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall
He slay the wicked'' (Isa 11:1,2,4).

Our Lord's millennial reign will be a time of peace and prosperity. The prophet Micah
declared of Christ, ''And He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations
afar oﬀ; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his ﬁg tree, and none shall make
them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it'' (Mic 4:3,4).

A temple will again stand in old Jerusalem. If you study carefully Ezekiel 40 through 49, you
will learn about this magnificent edifice. The glory of the Lord will fill that place, and
people of all nations will come to it. Micah predicted,

Many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
and to the house of the God of Jacob (Mic 4:2).

Zechariah delivered this additional prophecy:

And it shall be, in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;

half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea;

in summer and in winter shall it be.

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth;

in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one.

And it shall come to pass that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against
Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and
to keep the feast of tabernacles. (Zech 14:8,9,16).

FROM KINGS TO PROPHETS--

How tragic the change! Chapter 10 tells of Solomon and all his glory. Then chapter 11 tells
of Solomon's sin, chronicles the beginning of the rebellion by Jeroboam, and records
Solomon's death. The division of the kingdom and fall into idolatry soon followed. We
naturally wonder why. The answer, of course, is that fallen man spoils everything he
touches.

From this point onward, the Lord God no longer revealed Himself primarily to kings; rather,
He turned to the prophets. From 1Kings 11 to the beginning of the New Testament, God
spoke to His people primarily through these specially chosen men.

ELIJAH--
The experiences of Elijah the prophet give us a challenge for today, for he was active in a
time of apostasy. The end of our age will also be marked by apostasy, so a study of the evil
men of Elijah's day will tell us what may be expected. The same conditions exist now as did
then. [King] Ahab had married Jezebel. This wicked woman introduced Baal worship and
other forms of idolatry. Ahab was sitting in the place of authority on the throne of Israel,
yet he was denying the God of Israel. Similar conditions are sometimes seen in the
conduct of the religious leaders of our day.

In 1Kings 18 we read of two prophets, Obadiah and Elijah. Obadiah feared the Lord and fed
the prophets of God who were hiding in a cave. But he lived in the house of Ahab, a
compromising position! Ahab never spoke a word against Obadiah. But concerning Elijah,
the wicked king said, ''Art thou he who troubleth Israel?'' (18:17). Elijah did not shrink from
a confrontation with Ahab. God's exoneration of Elijah took place on Mount Carmel, and
that prophet became the instrument of God's judgment upon the the prophets of both Baal
and the groves [ie., places of worship to multiple idols].

PRACTICAL TRUTH--

In 1Kings, one truth looms large on the horizon: a government that leaves God out,
whether dictatorship or democracy, is doomed to failure. Government by man always
ends in disorder. Yet even though the thrones of earth disintegrate, the throne of heaven
will abide forever.

COMMENTARY CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY

ON THE WHOLE BIBLE
1 KINGS

ROBERT JAMIESON, A. R. FAUSSET AND DAVID BROWN. Published 1871 - A generally

excellent commentary

See also index to the Unabridged Version of this well done commentary

Spurgeon's Comment: "Of this I have a very high opinion. It is the joint work of Mr.
Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and Dr. David Brown. It is to some extent a compilation and
condensation of other men’s thoughts, but it is suﬃciently original to claim a place in
every minister’s library; indeed it contains so great a variety of information that if a man
had no other exposition he would ﬁnd himself at no great loss if he possessed this and
used it diligently."

EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY

1 Kings
F W Farrar

Warren W. Wiersbe - If you can locate the six-volume edition of the Expositor’s Bible, buy
it immediately! It takes up less space than the original ﬁfty-volume set, and not everything
in the original set is worth owning. Samuel H. Kellogg on Leviticus is a classic; so is
Alexander Maclaren on the Psalms and on Colossians. (A Basic Library for Bible Students)

Cyril J. Barber - This set, originally published in 1903, contains expositions by both
conservative and liberal theologians. The most important works are by Dod (Genesis),
Chadwick (Exodus and Mark), Kellogg (Leviticus), Blaikie (Joshua, I and II Samuel), Adeney
(Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther), Maclaren (Psalms), Moule (Romans), Findlay (Galatians and
Ephesians), Plummer (Pastoral Epistles and the Epistles of James and Jude), and Milligan
(Revelation.) (The Minister’s Library)

1 Kings 17:14 Dwindling Resources

The barrel of meal shall not be used up, neither shall the cruse of oil
fail. 1 Kings 17:14

At some point in life most of us face the problem of dwindling

resources. The story of the widow of Zarephath should encourage us to
trust the Lord to supply our needs at all times.

H. A. Ironside told of a Christian widow who lived in Scotland. With

several “bairns” in the home, it was extremely difficult for her to
provide food and clothing for her household. Through it all, she lived
close to the Lord and lovingly taught her children to put their
confidence in Him. The day finally came when the purse was empty
and the pantry depleted. Only a handful of flour remained in the big
barrel. The mother reached down into the container to scrape up the
last bit in order to make some bread for her hungry little ones. As she
bent over the barrel, her faith began to waver and she could hold back
the tears no longer. Her little son Robbie heard her sobs and began
tugging at her dress till she lifted her head and looked into his
questioning eyes. In his Scottish dialect he asked, “Mither, what are ye
weepin’ aboot? Dinna God hear ye scrapin’ the bottom o’ the barrel,
Mither?” Ironside said, “In a moment her failing faith reasserted itself.
Ah yes, God did hear. All else might be gone but He remained, and His
Word declared that her every need would be supplied.”

KEIL AND DELITZSCH

Commentary
1 Kings

James Rosscup - "Keil, C. F. and Franz Delitzsch. Commentary on the Old Testament. 25
volumes. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1950. This is the best older, overall treatment of a
critical nature on the Old Testament Hebrew text verse by verse and is a good standard
work to buy. The student can buy parts or the whole of this series. Sometimes it is
evangelical, at other times liberal ideas enter." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An
Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

JOHN KITTO
Commentary on 1 Kings
Pictorial Bible

Spurgeon's Comments on Kitto: "Then, of course, gentlemen, you will economize

rigidly until you have accumulated funds to purchase Kitto’s Pictorial Bible. You mean
to take that goodly freight on board before you launch upon the sea of married life. As you
cannot visit the Holy Land, it is well for you that there is a work like the Pictorial Bible, in
which the notes of the most observant travellers are arranged under the texts which they
illustrate. For the geography, zoology, botany, and manners and customs of Palestine, this
will be your counselor and guide… A work of art as well as learning."

JOHN KITTO
Daily Bible Illustrations
1 Kings

Spurgeon comments-"Should always be consulted… Exceeding meritorious. Refer to it

frequently… They are not exactly a commentary, but what marvelous expositions you
have there! You have reading more interesting than any novel that was ever written, and
as instructive as the heaviest theology. The matter is quite attractive and fascinating, and
yet so weighty, that the man who shall study these volumes thoroughly, will not fail to
read his Bible intelligently and with growing interest."

LANGE'S COMMENTARY
1 Kings

Spurgeon - "It must have cost great eﬀort to make the homiletical part of this volume as
good as it is. It is a treasury to the preacher, and is all the more precious because we have
next to nothing upon the books of the Kings."

Spurgeon's Comments on Lange's Series: "These volumes are not all of equal value,
but as a whole, they are a grand addition to our stores. The American translators have
added considerably to the German work, and in some cases these additions are more
valuable than the original matter. For homiletical purposes these volumes are so many
hills of gold, but, alas, there is dross also, for Baptismal Regeneration and other grave
errors occur… We are very far from endorsing all Zöckler’s remarks." (Caveat: Be a
Berean - Acts 17:11)

CYRIL BARBER - recommendations from his book The Minister's Library Volume
2 & Volume 3

Barber, Cyril John. The Books of Kings 2 Eugene, OR: Wipf & Stock, 2004. “A plain,
highly readable study that pastors, college students, seminarians, and lay people will
find helpful.”
DeVries, Simon J. 1 Kings. Word Biblical Commentary. Waco, Tex.: Word Books, 1985.
A capable, reasonably conservative treatment of the text. The introduction is most
helpful, and the bibliographies are exceedingly valuable. Though pastors will find the
critical issues discussed of marginal worth, this is the best commentary on 1 Kings to
be produced in many years.
Dilday, Russell H. One [and] Two Kings. The Communicator's Commentary. Waco, TX:
Word Books, 1987. A well-articulated commentary. The Introduction is brief and to-
the-point. Dilday sees the purpose of these book as illustrating the "Sovereign Lord of
History using men and nations to work out his redemptive purposes." Throughout
there is evidence of the author's wide reading. Prominence is given, however, to
liberal and Baptist writers (a strange mix when one considers the historic roots of the
Southern Baptist movement). The comments on the text are very brief. While the
chapters are well-written, they lack a homiletic outline. They do follow the text, and
Dilday's rhetorical acumen is evident on every page.
Ellul, Jacques. The Politics of God and the Politics of Man. Grand Rapids: Wm. B.
Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1972. Basing his political theory on the fact that the
problems of our times are theological and not sociological, the writer shows from a
study of 2 Kings how God has provided a blueprint for selfgovernment in the Bible.
Rewarding reading.
Farrar, Frederick William. The First Book of Kings. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian
Publishers, 1981. A thorough and delightful exposition of this history of Israel from
Solomon to Elijah. In places it manifests an unwise dependence on the LXX and
follows some higher critical theories in vogue at the time.
*_______ The Second Book of Kings. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers,
1981. Treats Israel's history from the ascension of Elijah to the deportation of Judah.
Remains one of the most satisfactory works for the expository preacher.
Gray, John. I and II Kings: A Commentary. Old Testament Library. 2d ed. rev.
Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1971. †An expansion and revision of the writer's
earlier commentary. Includes a vast amount of archaeological and exegetical
material, covers every significant verse, and makes a valuable though critical
contribution to the study of these books.
Jones, Gwilynm H. 1 and 2 Kings. 2 vols. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
Co., 1984. Capably introduced. Carefully attends to the history, customs, culture, and
etymology of Hebrew words. Deals adequately with the text of these two books.
Helpful.
*Kirk, Thomas, and George Rawlinson. Studies in the Books of Kings. 2 vols. in 1.
Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1983. It is difficult to refrain from
speaking eloquently of the value of this work. Kirk's handling of the life of Solomon (1
Kings 1-9) is done so well that it suggests messages by the score and provides, in
addition, pertinent areas of application. It is instructive as well as revealing, edifying,
and also enlightening. And Rawlinson's handling of the remainder of 1 Kings 10-2
Kings 25 provides one of the finest syntheses of biblical history (set against the
background of the ancient Near East) that has ever been written. Rawlinson's
chronology is lacking, but this in itself is not sufficient to condemn his work to
oblivion. The chronology of other similar treatises was also faulty up to the time
Thiele produced his Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings. Any deficiencies,
therefore, can easily be corrected by checking Rawlinson against Thiele. What is
important is that here we have a work that makes the OT come alive.
Long, Burke O. Second Kings. Forms of the Old Testament Literature. Grand Rapids:
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1991. Walter Bruggemann wrote of this book, “Long
has written a shrewd, discerning, and comprehensive study that will become an
enduring point of reference for future study. It is evident that Long knows all the
literature in a thorough and masterful way. He is, moreover, intentional about
method, and works his method with power and insight.... The focal point of his study
is form analysis ... [and] in his case the study of the text spills over, well beyond form
criticism into a wealth of analytic and interpretive insight. His book is a model for
mobilizing detail into a sensible and illuminating whole.”
Nelson, Richard D. First and Second Kings. Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for
Teaching and Preaching. Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1987. Examines the Books of
Kings, treating the text as theological literature. Emphasizes the literary impact this
work had when it was first released. Disregards the inspiration and authority of the
text in favor of its canonical importance. Deftly draws readers into an examination of
the text.
Wallace, Ronald S. Readings in I Kings: An Interpretation Arranged for Personal and
Group Bible Study, with Questions and Notes. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans
Publishing Co., 1995. “In this concise, practical commentary on I Kings, Wallace
succeeds in giving ‘fresh thoughts fresh clothing.’... He draws readers into biblical
characters’ lives ... and his love for the Bible is evident as he bridges the centuries to
show each stories’ modern practicality. He sees ‘persons like ourselves in situations
that we can easily match with our own today,’ and he pulls no punches exposing their
human foibles and weaknesses.”--Bookstore Journal.
*Whitcomb, John Clement, Jr. Solomon to the Exile: Studies in Kings and Chronicles.
Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1971. An ideal book for discussion groups.
Recreates the OT setting, graphically depicts the cause of decline in Israel and Judah,
and draws valid lessons from these incidents that are applied to the needs of the
present.

CHARLES SWINDOLL

Book of First Kings Overview - Insight for Living Ministries

Chart of 1 Kings

Excerpt - How do I apply this? Solomon was known as the wisest

man of his day. He was arguably the wealthiest man of his time. He
enjoyed God’s favor in many ways, yet his legacy is tarnished by the
faithlessness he displayed in his later years. In direct contradiction to
God’s command for a king not to “multiply wives” (Deuteronomy
17:17), Solomon married many foreign women. First Kings laments,
“When Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other
gods” (1Ki 11:4). Solomon began to rely on his fortune, his military
might, and his political alliances instead of the God who gave all of
those blessings to him. He focused on the gifts, forgetting the Giver.
How often do you do the same? Are there any direct commands from
God you are ignoring? Today, take time to recall the blessings in your
life, and then thank the Lord for them. Rely on Him, not your
possessions or position, as your source of strength and signiﬁcance.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of
the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7NIV)
