The book of 1st Kings was written to illustrate how the kings of Israel and Judah obeyed or disobeyed God. 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.
