The books of The Bible are just that: books or letters written independently of one another that were accumulated together over time. The chapters and verses, aside from selected books, were subdivisions added later by monks, if I remember correctly. The main exception to this was Psalms, where each chapter was originally written as a separate song and therefore only the verse divisions were added later.

Why are there books of the Old Testament missing from the Protestant Bible?
A:The split between Christianity and Judaism occurred before the Jews had decided on which scriptures would form the canon of the Hebrew Bible. Being unable to seek advice from the Jews, the early Christian Church, which eventually split into Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, adopted the Hebrew scriptures that were believed most likely to be inspired works. Independently, the Jewish scribes discarded some of these books on the grounds that they were not considered inspired. Most Protestant Churches eventually discarded from their Old Testament the books that were not included in the Hebrew Bible. They also discarded material such as the Additions to Esther, on the same grounds.
How did the Catholic Bible get seven extra books?
The seven books to which you are referring are from the Septuagint, which was the Greek translation of the Bible that was in common use while Our Blessed Lord was preaching and teaching. Most of the Bible references in the New Testament are taken from the Septuagint. This is the Bible that the Church accepted and was translated into Latin for use by the worldwide Church. They are considered "extra" books now only by people raised in a protestant background as those who revolted against the Church in the sixteenth century rejected them due to their support of Christian teachings.
