Shemuel; Books of Samuel

Japanese: サムエル記 - サムエルき(英語表記)Shemuel; Books of Samuel
Shemuel; Books of Samuel
A historical book of the Old Testament. In Judaism it is considered one of the prophecies. Originally in one volume in the Hebrew manuscripts, it was first divided into two volumes in the Greek Septuagint, and was called Basileiōn (Regnorum) rather than Samuel. This division was continued in the Vulgate and is still in use today.
The Book of Samuel tells the story of the founding of the kingdom of Israel. Its contents are divided into four main parts: (1) the birth of Samuel and his upbringing at the temple at Shiloh, (2) how David was summoned by Saul and eventually became king, (3) the story of King David and the history of royal succession, and (4) an additional section.
The Book of Samuel contains many similarities, repetitions, and contradictions. There are different accounts of the duration of the monarchy (1 Samuel 9:1-10:16, 8, 10:17-27), and the story of David being introduced twice as king to Saul (1 Samuel 16, 17). There are two theories: the Book of Samuel was created from several continuous sources, and it is a compilation of independent stories from various legends, but the latter opinion is widely accepted. The sources for the Book of Samuel are old sources from before 800 BC and new sources from the late 8th century BC, and it is estimated that these were compiled into the form we know today around 550 BC.

Japanese:
旧約聖書の歴史書の一つ。ユダヤ教では預言のなかに入れられる。ヘブライ語写本では元来1巻であったが,ギリシア語七十人訳聖書 (セプトゥアギンタ ) で初めて2巻に分けられ,名称も Samuelではなく Basileiōn (Regnorum王国の書) とされた。この区分はウルガタ訳にも継承され,今日ではこれが一般的である。
『サムエル記』は,イスラエルの王国建設の物語であり,その内容は (1) サムエルの誕生とシロの神殿での成長過程,(2) ダビデがサウルに召しかかえられ,やがて王となった経過,(3) ダビデ王の物語,王位継承史,(4) 追加の4部に大別される。
『サムエル記』には,多くの類似点や繰返し,矛盾が含まれている。王制の期限に関しての異なる記述 (サムエル上9・1~10・16,8章,10・17~27) ,王としてのサウルに重複して紹介されるダビデの記事 (サムエル上 16,17章) などが書かれている。『サムエル記』はいくつかの継続した資料をもとに作られたという説と,さまざまな伝説の独立した物語をまとめたという説があるが,後者の意見が広く受入れられている。また,『サムエル記』の資料は元来前 800年以前の旧資料と前8世紀末の新資料とがあり,これが前 550年頃ほぼ今日の形にまとめられたと推定されている。
