It's interesting how much time takes place through 1-2 Kings. A period of about 400 years worth of history is covered in the work. In contrast, 1-2 Samuel covers only a period of about 100 years. It's interesting to see how much time is devoted to each king. It might make for an interesting infographic. Likewise, a chart showing how much time takes place in each book of the Bible. Here's a rough estimated break down of the books we've covered so far:
Genesis: Thousands of years+
Exodus: 300+ years (starts with Joseph, most takes place in about 40 years or so)
Leviticus: Weeks?
Numbers: ~40 years
Deuteronomy: Months?
Joshua: ~30 years (although most of it takes place in 1 year)
Judges: ~400 years
Ruth: Months?
1-2 Samuel: ~100 years
1-2 Kings: ~400 years
