[2] The Expedition of the Philistines Against the Hebrews, and the Hebrews' Victory Under the Conduct of Samuel the Prophet, Who was Their General
[3] How Samuel, When He Was So Infirm with Old Age that He Could Not Take Care of the Public Affairs, Intrusted them to His Sons; and How, Upon the Evil Administration of the Government by Them, the Multitude were so Angry, that They required to have a King to Govern Them, Although Samuel was much Displeased Thereat

[11] How David, Upon Saul's Laying Snare for Him, Did Yet Escape the Dangers He was in, By the Affection and Care of Jonathan, and the Contrivances of His Wife Michal, and How He came to Samuel the Prophet
