The multi-author nature of the text of the Hebrew Bible has led biblical scholars to postulate its creation by centuries of writers who collected, compiled, revised, edited, and interpreted ancient traditions.

The writers of the Bible were less concerned with historical accuracy than with allegorical tales with a purpose. The Book of Judges takes up where Joshua finishes, with the exploits of clan elders within the 12 tribes that were supposedly created after the conquest of Canaan. The last of these judges is Samuel, whose transitional tale between tribalism and monarchism is told in the Book of Samuel. As in other books of the Bible, Samuel contains contradictions and duplications that suggest its composition from conflicting sources and traditions.

Samuel is a confused figure because the text went through four redaktions. Read a book.
