Salibi subjects the text of 1 & 2 Samuel, in the received and often problematic Hebrew, to long overdue critical analysis. Salibi then reconstructs from artificially conflated text seven original stories told, surprisingly, not in prose but in consistent and coherent verse. In the last four chapters, Salibi presents a compelling argument for setting the 1 and 2 Samuel stories in Western Arabia.
