1 Samuel |
The Books of Samuel are part of the Tanakh (part of Judaism's Hebrew
Bible) and also of the Christian Old Testament. The work was originally written
in Hebrew, and the Book(s) of Samuel originally formed a single text, as they
are often considered today in Hebrew bibles.
Together with what is now referred to as the Book(s) of Kings, the translators
who created the Greek Septuagint divided the text into four books, which they
named the Books of the Kingdoms. In the Latin Vulgate version, these then became
the Books of the Kings, thus 1 and 2 Samuel were referred to as 1 and 2 Kings,
with 3 and 4 Kings being what are called 1 and 2 Kings by the King James Bible
and its successors.
