===== Former Prophets ===== The Former Prophets are the books Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings. They contain narratives that begin immediately after the death of Moses with the divine appointment of Joshua as his successor, who then leads the people of Israel into the [[Promised Land]], and end with the release from imprisonment of the last [[Kings of Judah|king of Judah]]. Treating Samuel and Kings as single books, they cover: * Joshua's conquest of the land of Canaan (in the [[Book of Joshua]]), * the struggle of the people to possess the land (in the [[Book of Judges]]), * the people's request to God to give them a king so that they can occupy the land in the face of their enemies (in the [[Books of Samuel]]) * the possession of the land under the divinely appointed kings of the [[Davidic line|House of David]], ending in conquest and foreign exile ([[Books of Kings]])
