1 Samuel (1 Kings), and 2 Samuel (2 Kings).
I have a couple of versions, The KJV, The Douay-Rheims, and La Reina Valera. And one day I might get to read them all. I'm very glad to have read 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel KJV. I look forward to the other books of Kings.

Dates are for Kings II. Rating is for Kings I&II together. II carried I up! Elijah and Elisha, Nebuchadnezzar, right and evil in the sight of the Lord… II

1st Kings starts with the death of King David and the reign of Solomon the wise. About halfway through he dies and the country goes haywire. These books also chronicle the lives of Elijah and Elisha. It ends with Nebuchadnezzar conquering Jerusalem and burning the temple.
Many people don’t realize that Israel divided after the death of King Solomon. God was angry at Solomon and degreed that his line would not rule Israel but he had to keep his promises to David.
There was a revolution and Judea split off into a separate nation. This is further confused by the similarity between the names of the next two kings: Jeroboam for ten tribes of Israel and Rehoboam (Solomon’s’ son) for Judea.
This explains a lot of the confusion found in reading 1st & 2nd Kings. It’s really the chronology of the kings of two different countries intertwined. There’s a lot of back and forth history of the kings. The fact that they are constantly at war with each other and with either Syria or Egypt or both makes it worse.
So keep this in mind as you read it. You’ll still find it confusing and probably boring, but it may help you know who’s doing what and to whom.
A very important event that most people miss in here is the 10 degree test Hezekiah sets for Isaiah.
If you research Earth’s lost day where NASA found a discrepancy. This 10 degrees explains part of it.
(Be prepared for a lot of hard to pronounce names. Don’t let them get you bogged down. The correct pronunciation isn’t important to understanding the lessons learned from the history.)
Important kings: David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Naboth, Ahab, Jehoshaphat, Naaman, Jehu, Jehoash, Hezekiah, Josaih.
Special events: Solomon’s choice, Queen of Sheba’s visit, building the temple, Elijah & the widow’s son, Elijah testing Baal, Elisha succeeding Elijah and Elisha’s miracles, the destruction and repair of the temple, Hezekiah’s ten degrees, the fall of Jerusalem and burning of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar.
