1 Kings
Treated in 120 passages across the library.
The history of Israel from the death of David through the divided kingdom. It tells of Solomon's wisdom and his building of the temple, his later turning to other gods, and the splitting of the kingdom into Israel and Judah. Its second half follows the prophet Elijah: the fire on Mount Carmel, the still small voice at Horeb, and his stand against Ahab and Jezebel.
