The Book of Ezra (Hebrew עזרא; Greek Έσδρας; Latin Ezra) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew with some sections in Aramaic and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final writing, by unknown authors, is placed between the late fourth and mid-third century BC in Judea.

It consists of 10 chapters describing the return of the Jews from exile in Babylon and the rebuilding of the temple (about 538-515 BC), and then the reforming activity of Ezra in Jerusalem (perhaps from 398 BC).

The two books of Chronicles (Hebrew דברי הימים divré ha-yamim, "things of the days"; Greek A'-B' Παραλειπομένων 1-2 Paraleipomenōn, "I and II [book] of omissions"; Latin 1-2 Paralipomenon) are two texts contained in the "Tanakh" (where they are counted as a single text) and in the Christian Bible.

They are written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, their final editing, by unknown authors, is placed around 330-250 BC in Judea. They represent a reworking of the history of the Jews already narrated in other historical texts.

The first book consists of 29 chapters containing various genealogies from Adam to David and a description of his reign (until about 970 BC). The second book consists of 36 chapters describing the reign of Solomon and the history of the kingdom of Judah, its destruction, the Babylonian exile and return (from about 970 BC to 538 BC)

The books of Samuel (Hebrew שמואל' Σαμουήλ 1-2 samuèl or A'-B' Βασιλέων 1-2 basiléon, "1-2 kings"; Latin 1-2 Samuel) are two texts contained in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh, where they are counted as a single text) and in the Christian Bible.

They are written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, their final editing by unknown authors, is placed in the sixth-fifth century BC in Judea, on the basis of previous oral and written traditions, in particular of the so-called Deuteronomist source of the seventh century BC.

The first book consists of 31 chapters describing the prophetic ministry of Samuel, the reign of Saul, and the youth of David, set in Judea around 1100-1010 BC. The second book consists of 24 chapters describing the reign of David around 1010-970 BC.

The two Books of Samuel constitute, with the following two books of Kings, a continuous work, so much so that the Greek version of the Septuagint and the Latin version of St. Jerome, the so-called Vulgate, have preferred to call them in their entirety the Four Books of Kings (in Greek Basileion).

The name "Books of Samuel" derives from a late Talmudic opinion that attributed their compilation to the prophet Samuel.

Both the books of Samuel and those of Kings are to be traced back to a single project, that of outlining the historical events of Israel from the end of the era of the Judges until the end of the monarchy with the Babylonian invasion of Nebuchadnezzar II: a period of time that covers over six centuries. The final editing dates back to the sixth century BC.

The Book of Ruth (Hebrew רות; Greek Ῥουθ; Latin Rut) is a text contained in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and Christian.

It is written in Hebrew and its writing, by unknown authors, is placed by various scholars between the fifth and second century BC, probably in Judea.

The book of Ruth describes the story, set in the Judea of the time of the Judges (XI century B.C.), of the gentile (i.e. not Jewish, as Moabite) Ruth, model of piety and great-grandmother of the future king David. Rut married a Jew who had immigrated to his country and was left a widow. In turn, she immigrates to the land of Israel, where she meets a relative of her husband, Booz, who is unexpectedly willing to marry her to redeem her from despair. The common thread of these events is the very strong bond that exists between the young widow and her mother-in-law Noemi (name also transcribed as Naomi), herself a widow, a bond that will ensure that the two women will not separate even in the most desperate moment, and that the young woman will sacrifice her last chance to rebuild her life in her country of origin in order to stay with the old woman.
