1 Kings
- 1 Kings* is a historical narrative in the Hebrew Bible, traditionally attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, chronicling the reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah from the death of King David to the release of Jehoiachin from prison. While *1 Kings* primarily focuses on the ancient Israelite monarchy, its themes resonate across various cultures, including India, where concepts of kingship, governance, and divine legitimacy have longstanding significance in sociopolitical structures. The narrative examines the rise and fall of leaders, the impact of their decisions on national stability, and the moral and ethical principles guiding rulers, paralleling the lessons found in Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana about dharma and righteous leadership.
