"There was a man named Elkanah who lived in Ramah in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham and grandson of Elihu, from the family of Tohu and the clan of Zuph." (I Sam.1:1 NLT New Living Translation)
Most people are unaware that the two "Samuel" books and the two "Kings" books found in most modern translations of The Bible were originally compiled into ONE BOOK OF THE KINGS.
The "old" publication of my King James Version has many "subtitles" beneath the book titles and "chapter summaries" beneath each chapter number, added by the publisher as [it is assumed] as a study aid.
And beneath the title of "The First Book of Samuel" of this publication of the KJV Bible, is the subtitle:
"Otherwise called THE FIRST BOOK OF KINGS"
Therefore... the "first verse in the Book of Kings," according to the original manuscripts is I Samuel 1:1 -- the prophet God assigned to anoint Israel's "first king" [Saul].
