The next twelve Books of The Bible are the Historical Books
of the Old Testament, from Joshua to Esther; covering the time from the conquest
of Canaan, through the reigns of the Kings, to the people being taken into exile
in Babylon and their final return. They span roughly 800 years of Israel's history
from about the thirteenth to the fifth century BC.
These two Books describe how the Israelites
conquered and settled in the Promised Land. As a nation the Israelites were beginning
a major new phase of expansion. The famous march around, and subsequent destruction
of the Walls of Jericho set the scene for the taking over of the towns and villages
of the Canaanites. In the Book of Judges the story of Samson and Delilah is told,
occurring during a lawless time of Israel's history.

These are the only two Books in The Bible
named after women, and they tell fascinating stories of two truly remarkable women.
The Book of Ruth is a touching story of deep devotion and loyalty, while the Book
of Esther is a story of intrigue and irony which displays Esther's great courage
and devotion to her people.

Israel's ancient history, like that of many
nations, is a story of kings and wars. In 1 Samuel is the story of David slaying
the giant Goliath while 2 Samuel tells of his subsequent reign as King. These 8 Books
record the transition in Israel from the period of the judges to the monarchy, the
later division of the nation and its fall into captivity, and the final return from
exile.

The next five Books of The Bible are the Books containing
Poetry, Songs and Wisdom. Recorded here are the Songs of Praise of David and the
wise Proverbs of his son Solomon.
The Books of Job, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes
belong to a type of literature which was common in the ancient Near East. It is known
simply as "Wisdom".
One kind of wisdom is the short pithy saying which gives advice about one's behaviour
and everyday living. Sayings of this kind have been collected in the Book of Proverbs
and parts of Ecclesiastes.
A second kind of wisdom is a reflection on life and its problems - a dialogue as
in the Book of Job, or a monologue as in Ecclesiastes, where the "Philosopher"
reflects on his experience of life.

The Book of Psalms is the hymn book and
prayer book of The Bible. Composed by different authors over a long period of time,
these hymns and prayers were collected and used by the Israelites in their praise
and worship, until finally this collection was included in their scriptures. They
became the treasured book of worship of the Christian Church from its very beginning.
The Song of Solomon is a collection of love poems, mostly in the form of songs addressed
by a man to a woman, and by the woman to the man. These songs have often been interpreted
as a picture of the relationship between God and His people, between Christ and His
Church.
Psalms

The last 17 Books of the Old Testament are named after particular Jewish prophets
some of whom came at crisis points in the history of Israel and Judah: when the Assyrians
were laying siege to Jerusalem (Isaiah); at the time of the Babylonian invasion,
when Jerusalem was destroyed and the nation carried into exile (Jeremiah and Ezekiel);
when the exiles returned to rebuild the city and the whole of their national life
(Haggai and Zechariah).
In The Bible the four longer Books of the four
"major" prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel (as well as Lamentations)
- come before the shorter Books named after the twelve "minor" prophets.
The Book of Isaiah is named after a great prophet who lived in Jerusalem in the latter
half of the eighth century BC. He is generally regarded as the greatest of the Old
Testament prophets with many of the passages in this Book being considered to be
amongst the finest in literature.
The Book of Daniel gives a fascinating account of the dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar,
Daniel's survival in the lions' den and also the stories of the fiery furnace and
the mysterious writing on the wall.
