This volume presents collected essays of a symposium held in Jena in 2012 which investigated the relationship between I-II Sam and I Chr. Fundamental questions and methodical difficulties that arise when "late" parts of the Books of Samuel are questioned regarding their relationship to the Books of Chronicles are discussed.

This volume presents collected essays of a symposium held in Jena in August 2012 whose main question was whether there was something like a post-chronistic feedback into the Books of Samuel. The articles investigate the relationship between I-II Sam and I Chr in general aspects as well as by means of a number of case studies. Can I Chr be regarded as a relecture of some Samuel scroll? If so, is it possible to identify some of the latest layers in Samuel as chronistically influenced, that is: as a rereading of the relecture ? And by which methods and criteria could that goal be achieved?
