 18 1,1   |           The second section, the Prophets, consists of eight books:
 19 1,1   |         Samuel, Kings (the Former Prophets), and Isaiah, Jeremiah,
 20 1,1   |            The Twelve (the Latter Prophets). The reasons for the omission
 21 1,1   |           between Major and Minor Prophets is first found in the Latin
