Chapter 22 51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
The Books of Kings are books included in the Hebrew Bible. They were originally written in Hebrew and are recognised as scripture by Judaism and Christianity. According to Biblical chronology, the events in the Books of Kings occurred between the 10th and 6th centuries BC.
1 and 2 Kings (like 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Chronicles) are actually one literary work; in Hebrew tradition they are simply "Kings". The division of this work into two books was introduced by the translators of the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament), and was subsequently followed in the Latin Vulgate and most modern translations. In 1448 the division into two sections also appeared in a Hebrew manuscript and was perpetuated in later printed editions of the Hebrew text.
