The books of 1 and 2 Samuel were originally part of a single text, split in certain translations shortly before the birth of Christ. Some of the Bible’s most famous characters are depicted in this book.

By the end of this book, Saul has fallen; the book of 2 Samuel begins with David’s ascension to the throne.
