    848 BC. 1 Kings can be divided into two sections; A united kingdom, 1 Kings 1:1 – 11:43, a divided kingdom (1 Kings 12:1 – 22:53). 1 Kings appears as a continuation of the books of Samuel until the narrative takes a unique turn at the death of Solomon and a major event occurs. The once united kingdom divides into the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. At this point, the narrative becomes a parallel accounting of monarchs from both kingdoms. The author selects

    1:21 interprets the Jebusites as continuing to dwell at Jerusalem, within the territory otherwise occupied by the Tribe of Benjamin. The Books of Kings state that once Jerusalem had become an Israelite city, the surviving Jebusites were forced by Solomon to become serfs; though since some archaeologists believe that the Israelites were simply an emergent tribe in Canaanite society, it is possible that this is an etiological explanation for serfs than a historically accurate one. It is unknown what

    Throughout the Old Testament, several kings rose to the throne of Israel and Judah. These kings were known for their wickedness in the eyes of the Lord, many of whom permanently damaged their kingdoms. Possibly the only king who displayed no such traits was Hezekiah. Hezekiah bowed to the Lord in all things and upheld all his statutes. It is for this reason he is righteous. Therefore, from Hezekiah's fear in God, his constant communication and faith, and his reliance on only the LORD in Judah, God

    Jephthah was considered an illegitimate child because his mother was a prostitute. Because of this, his family rejected him and banished him from their home (Tullock, & McEntire, 2012). Jephthah, I would have to imagine, became hardened out of this rejection and took a life of a criminal not only surviving but becoming a military style leader to operate his criminal enterprise (Tullock, & McEntire, 2012). Using his talents and experience, he became leader of the Gileadites by defeating the Ammonites
