Summary "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 11: 3 Kings" is a historical and religious text that likely originated in the early modern period, with significant revisions made in the 18th century. This book is a continuation of the biblical narrative detailing the history of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, primarily focusing on King Solomon's reign and the events that lead to the division of the kingdom after his death. At the start of "3 Kings," we find King David, advanced in age, struggling with succession as his son Adonijah attempts to claim the throne. Queen Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan work to ensure that Solomon, David's chosen heir, is declared king. As the narrative unfolds, key themes of wisdom, justice, and the consequences of disobedience to God emerge, particularly as Solomon makes critical decisions that establish his reign and build the temple in Jerusalem. The opening portion sets a dramatic stage for power struggles, divine guidance, and the establishment of Solomon as a wise and just ruler, reflecting the significant moral and theological ideas central to the biblical narrative.
