The Books of Samuel (Hebrew: ספר שמואל, Sefer Shmuw’el) are part of the Tanakh (part of the Hebrew Bible) and also of the Christian Old Testament.
The two books
The Books of Samuel were originally one book. The first Greek translation was split in two because it is unusually long. Other languages followed.
The first book of Samuel tells the history of Israel from the birth of Samuel until Saul’s death.
The second book of Samuel tells the story of King David of Israel
