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. It starts with King Solomon and ends with King Ahaziah. This book was approximately written around the time of the Babylonian Exile of the Jews, somewhere between 560 and 550 B.C. and is followed by II Kings. (In the Hebrew Bible used by Judaism, there is only one book called "Kings".) The author of this book is uncertain, but many Jewish traditions believe Jeremiah to be the author.
