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).

-----------------------There are two biblical narratives that tell of Solomon's succession to David. The first narrative, in 1 Kings, is somewhat muddled and ends with David, on his deathbed choosing Solomon to be his successor. The second narrative is in 1 Chronicles, which was a later rewrite of the Book of Kings and other books in the Deuteronomic history. Possibly recognising the problems inherent in the account in 1 Kings, the Chronicler simply has David, while still healthy and active, announce that God has chosen Solomon as his heir.Since Solomon had older brothers, it was not anticipated in the 1 Kings story that Solomon would ever be king, until David was near death, so there was no reason for David to prepare him to be king. The story in 1 Chronicles is more flexible, since David had some time, perhaps years, to prepare Solomon to be king, before his own death.
