Books of the Kingdoms


The Books of the Kingdoms are the names of four books of the Hebrew Bible given in the Septuagint version; 1 and 2 Kingdoms are equivalent to 1 and 2 Samuel, and 3 and 4 Kingdoms are equivalent to 1 and 2 Kings in most modern English versions. They are also known as the four Books of Kings in the Vulgate version, and occasionally as the Books of Reigns in English.
