Which book is described as covering Samuel?

• A. 2 Samuel
• B. 1 Samuel
• C. Judges
• D. Kings

Answer: (C)

The question is about which biblical book is associated with Samuel’s era and leadership. In the Faith Bible Institute context, Samuel is a transitional figure who sits at the boundary between the era of the judges and the monarchy. The book that’s described as covering Samuel is the book of Judges because it sets up the crisis and leadership pattern of Israel during that transitional period and introduces Samuel as the last judge who begins the move toward a centralized kingship. This framing helps explain Samuel’s role within Israel’s history as a judge and prophet who bridges the time before and the time of the kings.

In contrast, 1 Samuel focuses more specifically on Samuel’s birth, calling, and early career plus Saul’s rise; 2 Samuel centers on David; and Kings follows the kingship era after Saul and David. So Judges is the best fit for the description that centers on Samuel within the broader narrative.
