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 22

22:51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and showeth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
