The historical books are a division of Christian Bibles, grouping 12 or books of the Old Testament[1][page needed] that follow the Pentateuch, beginning with the Book of Joshua.[2] It includes the Former Prophets from the Nevi'im and two of the ungrouped books of Ketuvim of the Hebrew Bible together with the Book of Ruth and the Book of Esther which in the Hebrew are both found in the Five Megillot.[1][page needed] These books describe Israel’s history as a people in the land of Canaan. These books make up the historical books in the Old Testament, with several differences between Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Biblical canons.
