Did King David write 1 Kings and 2 Kings?

Answer:

Answer

No. 1 Kings and 2 Kings originally formed a single book, but was divided during the Christian era because of the difficulty of fitting all the text onto a single papyrus scroll. The Book of Kings was originally written by an anonymous author now known as the Deuteronomist, as part of the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings).
