Notes

1 Kings 2:10–12

David died peacefully after ruling for forty years, confident that Solomon, his chosen heir, would lead the kingdom. People have suggested different locations for David’s tomb, but none are confirmed (see Acts 2:29). Royal tombs were in use at least until the time of Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:21).

1 Kings 2:1–12

David gave Solomon his final advice in two parts:

personal guidance for spiritual living (1 Kings 2:2–4) and
directions about people David had interacted with (1 Kings 2:5–9).

1 Kings 1:1–2:12

The book of 1 Kings begins with the Lord's promise to David (see 2 Samuel 7:11–16). Solomon was the rightful and God-chosen heir to what God gave his father David. The problems during Solomon's rise to power suggested there would be more troubles later in his reign and between Israel and Judah in the future(1 Kings 1:1–2:46; 11:12–43).
