The Books of 1 and 2 Samuel were originally written as a single book, the Book of Samuel, part of what is now known as the Deuteronomic History, during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah. The Book of Samuelwas eventually split into two, to make it easier to fit onto a single papyrus scroll.

Samuel was written during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah, partly as a politial document, for the people of the remaining small kingdom of Judah.
