Best Answer

There isn't a book in the Old Testament (or the New Testament) that is all names. However, there are places in the Old Testament that has a lot of names listed in them. Numbers has a lot of names in it because it has a record of the census taken of the children of Israel while they were in the desert. But that only accounts for a couple of chapters, not the entire book which has 36 chapters. Joshua also has a lot of names in it because it's telling who gets what in the promised land. I Chronicles has more names than any other book in the Old Testament because it is a historical record of people from Adam to Abraham. The 1st 9 chapters are all names in a book with a total of 29 chapters. Ezra also has a long list of names in chapters 2, 8 and 10. Nehemiah has a list in chapters 7, 10 and 12.

The book in the Old Testament that is mainly a list of names is the Book of Chronicles, specifically 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles. These books trace the genealogy of the Israelite tribes and chronicle the history of the Jewish people, including the reigns of the kings of Israel.

The seventh book of the Old Testament (and Hebrew Scriptures) is the book of Judges. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua all proceed Judges. In the categorizing of the Hebrew Scriptures in Judaism, the book of Judges is part of the Nevi'im, "The Prophets". Christian categorizing of the Old Testament has no such official categorizing.


What are the names of the chapters of the Old Testament?

I am assuming you are seeking information concerning the names of the books of the Old Testament; for the "Chapters" are not "named" they are numbered. There are 39 Books in the traditional Bible; the shortest Book is "Obadiah" and contains one chapter' the longest book is "Psalms" and contains 150 chapters. You can find the complete listing of the books in the table of contents in the front of the Bible; for time sake I will not list all 39 here.
