Introduction

authorship, audience, history

1 Kings is the sixth of the Historical Books. It opens with Solomon, the temple, and a kingdom at its height, then divides the nation after his death and traces the two kingdoms downhill through their kings. Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel is here.
