| | She reminds the king of his vow to her that Solomon, her son, should be his successor to his throne. | | | He urged the king to immediate action and to put an end to all Adonijah's pretensions at once, which the king did; and Solomon was anointed by the chief priests and proclaimed king. | | | THESE books give an account of David's death, of his successor Solomon, of the division of his kingdom between the kings of Judah and of Israel, with an abstract of the history down to the captivity. |

| | Thus the "book of the kings of Israel" is mentioned 17 times (for all kings except Jehoram and Hoshea); the "book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah" is mentioned 15 times (for all except Ahaziah, Athaliah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah). | | | The Hebrew title reads, melakhim, "kings," the division into books being based on the Septuagint where the Books of Kings are numbered 3rd and 4th, the Books of Kingdoms (Basileion), the Books of Samuel being numbered respectively 1st and 2nd. | | | The separation in the Hebrew into 2 Books of Kings dates to the rabbinic Bible of Daniel Bomberg (Venice, 1516-17), who adds in a footnote, "Here the non-Jews (i.e. |

| | Throughout the historical books of the Bible, of value are truthfulness and objectivity of this Sacred Book. | | | The persecution was caused by king Ptolemy's anger with the high priest Simon, at whose prayer the king was prevented by God from entering the sanctuary of the temple at Jerusalem. | | | The books written after Ezra were not included in the list of Sacred books, for which reason they are called deutero-canonical, even though they are highly respected and can be found in many translations of the Bible. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Third and Fourth Books of Kings |
| | Books of the Kings of Judah and Israel. | | | In the Book of Kings, as is shown by its contents, another matter predominates, namely, the relation of each king to revealed religion. | | | In this manner the writer teaches that the unlawful cult offered in the high places and the idolatry practised both by kings and people in spite of the admonitions of the prophets were the cause of the downfall of Israel and of Juda. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: First and Second Samuel |
| | The Book of Kings was divided at the same time, and the four books, being considered as a consecutive history of the Kingdoms of Israel and Juda, were named "Books of the Kingdoms" (Basileiôn biblía). | | | At the most, it might be said that the first two chapters of the third book originally were part of the Book of Samuel, and were later detached by the author of the Book of Kings to serve as an introduction to the history of Solomon; but even this is doubtful. | | | The explanation concerning the dress of the king's daughters in David's time (II, xiii, 18) supposes that a considerable period had elapsed in the interval, and points to a date later than Solomon, during whose reign a change in the style of dress was most likely introduced by his foreign wives. |

| | The kings of the Northern Kingdom are presented in the same way except that their ages and mothers are not usually mentioned. | | | As DeVries states, Ahab did a previously unthinkable sin by "marrying the baalist daughter of a baalist king." Phoenicia was the center of Baal worship at that time, and Ahab& wife brought an evangelistic zeal for Baal with her. | | | An alliance with Phoenicia was developed and sealed with the marriage of Omri& son to the daughter of the king of Sidon. |

| | Anyone who's seen the film will know that Willocks doesn't go in for subtlety or understatement, and anyone who loves a shocking, gore-drenched story of lust, betrayal and (inevitably) miscegenation can snuggle down comfortably with his latest work of fiction. | | | The plot of "Bloodstained Kings" is somewhat complicated, appropriate for a novel in which none of the characters, at any given moment, knows exactly what's going on. | | | At the opening of the story Lenna is keeping her husband, Filmore Eastman Faroe -- clever, that -- drugged up and imprisoned in a stone bunker on her property. |
