This book was approximately written around the time of the [[Babylonian Exile]] of the [[Jews]], somewhere between 560 and 550 B.C. The author of this book is uncertain, but many Jewish traditions believe [[Jeremiah]] to be the author. The book shows the story of [[Solomon]] and the accounts of many other kings during his time.

The book of '''I Kings''' is a historical time line showing how the kings of [[Israel]] and [[Judah]] obeyed or disobeyed God and is part of the [[Old Testament]] of the [[Bible]].
