1 Samuel & Chronicles
1 Samuel
Reading 1 & 2 Samuel is like reading several books at once due to the parallels between Samuel and 1 Chronicles. For fun, you may want to read the Chronicler’s version of the story; the Chronicler does not always see things the same way as the author of Samuel. God’s voice pours through both versions.
The following is a list of the major parallels between Samuel and 1 Chronicles:
