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).
A:We do not know exactly where 1 and 2 Chronicles were written, but we do know they were written during or, more likely, just after the Babylonian Exile. If they were written during the Exile, then they were written in or near Babylon. Otherwise, they were written in the city of Jerusalem.

The greatest king of Israel was King David.To list all of the righteous kings:David (1 Kings 15:5), Solomon (see 1 Kings 3:3), Asa (1 Kings 15:11), Yehoshaphat (1 Kings 22:43), Yehu (2 Kings 10:30), Yehoash (2 Kings 12:3), Amatziah (2 Kings 14:3), Azariah (2 Kings 15:3), Yotam (2 Kings 15:34), Hizkiah (2 Kings 18:3), and Josiah (2 Kings 22:2). With one exception, the righteous kings were all those of Judah, not the Ten Tribes.
The Book of 2 Kings is part of the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), which was written in the time of King Josiah (641-609 BCE) and completed during the Babylonian Exile. Another view among some scholars is that the Deuteronomic History was actually written during the Babylonian Exile.
