The two Books of Samuel contain valuable historical material concerning the religious and moral conditions of the period. Samuel is the great prophet-judge who helps to unite the scattered tribes under one king, Saul. The history of the reigns of Saul and David is also recorded.

2 Samuel 10

10:1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
