The main topics covered in 1 & 2 Kings include:

• A. The life of Moses and the Exodus
• B. The events in Ezra and Nehemiah
• C. Reign of Solomon, the division of Israel, the separate and surviving kingdoms, and the fall of Judah and Israel
• D. The prophets of Isaiah

Answer: (C)

This item tests your grasp of what 1 and 2 Kings cover in biblical history. These books trace the reign of Solomon, then show how his death divides the united monarchy into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. They follow the successive kings of each realm and highlight how faithfulness or disobedience to God shapes the fortunes of both kingdoms. The narrative culminates in the falls of these kingdoms—Israel’s exile and destruction, and Judah’s subsequent exile and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple—leading into the exile period.

Other options point to different parts of Scripture: Moses and the Exodus belong to the earlier historical narrative in the Pentateuch; Ezra and Nehemiah focus on the post-exilic return and rebuilding; Isaiah concerns the prophetic writings during a later period and is not the historical arc of the kings. The description that includes Solomon’s reign, the division into separate kingdoms, and their eventual falls best matches the scope of 1 and 2 Kings.
