« 2 Samuel Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Historical Books, (12), from Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1st, 2nd Samuel, 1st, 2nd Kings, 1st, 2nd Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther.

9. 1st Samuel, 1-31
10. 2nd Samuel, Chapters 1-24,
These books were named after Samuel, not only because he is the principle figure in the first part, but also because he anointed the other principle characters, Saul and David. Orignally a single book which was divided when translated into Greek, the books of Samuel cover a period of time in Israel's history from the birth of Samuel to the close of the reign of David. First Samuel presents the transition from Israel's judges to the monarchy. Second Samuel deals almost exclusively with the history of David and presents a vivid picture of the theocratic monarchy in which the king represents God's rule over the people.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
