Project Gutenberg 2005-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 144 Anonymous Anonyme Anonymous, Anonymous The World English Bible (WEB): 1 Kings From www.ebible.org with slight reformatting by Martin Ward "The World English Bible (WEB): 1 Kings" by Anonymous is a religious text, part of the Old Testament, that was likely compiled during the early centuries of the Common Era. The text presents the narrative of the Israelite monarchy, focusing on key figures such as King David, his son Solomon, and the ensuing political and spiritual conflicts within the kingdom. The main topics include kingship, divine guidance, and the aftermath of leadership decisions, alongside the tensions between Israel and surrounding nations. At the start of this portion, the narrative introduces a frail King David, who is nearing the end of his reign, prompting power struggles among his sons. Adonijah attempts to claim the throne despite Solomon being designated by David as his successor. The plot thickens as Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and Nathan the prophet intervene to ensure Solomon is recognized as king. The ensuing events set the stage for Solomon’s rise to power, the anointing ceremony, and the consolidation of his rule as he receives guidance from David on governance and justice, facing the complexities of his royal responsibilities. This opening clearly establishes the political intrigue and familial dynamics that will unfold throughout the chapter. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
