A short Insight into MELACHIM 1, Chapter 1 By Rabbi Nisson Dov Miller

(PLEASE LEARN FOR A REFUA SHELAMA FOR THE GEDOLIM Rav Elyashiv -Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha, Rav Shteinman - Aaron Yehuda Leib ben Gitel Feiga, Rav Weiss - Yitzchak Tuvia ben Rikal, Rav Belsky - NAME ADDDED Chaim Yisroel ben Chana Tzirtel, Rav Yosef - Yaakov Chai ben Margalit And Telzer Rosh Yeshiva, Yitzchok Izak ben Trina Rivka Vizhnitzer Rebbe-Moshe Yehoshua ben Margulios for a refuah shleima b’soch kol cholei am Yisrael.) Many of the commentators wonder why the first two chapters of the Sefer Melachim are included in this book. Seemingly, just like the last part of the Sefer of Shmuel deals with David and his kingdom, these two chapters deal with the waning days of the life of King David. To begin the book of Melachim, which was written by Yirmiyahu Hanavi, with the establishment of the kingdom of Shlomo Hamelech, would seem to be more fitting.
