释义 | > as lemmasKings b. In plural. Chiefly as Kings (with singular agreement), or in the Book of Kings: (the name of) the two (or alternatively, esp. formerly, four; see note) books of the Old Testament relating the history of the Kings of Israel and Judah, from the accession of Solomon to the destruction of the Temple in 586 bc.In the original Hebrew text 1 and 2 Kings are a single book. In the Septuagint, the Vulgate, and the older English versions, there are four books of Kings, 1 and 2 Samuel being regarded as the first two; this system of division, following the Septuagint, is still often used in the Orthodox canon, although typically with the books entitled 1–4 Kingdoms in English.
