<P> The Books of Samuel , 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel , form part of the narrative history of Israel in the Nevi'im or `` prophets '' section of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament , called the Deuteronomistic history , a series of books ( Joshua , Judges , Samuel and Kings ) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and aim to explain God 's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets . According to Jewish tradition , the book was written by Samuel , with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan . Modern scholarly thinking is that the entire Deuteronomistic history was composed in the period c. 630 -- 540 BC by combining a number of independent texts of various ages . </P>
