The book abbreviation "Kgdms" = Samuel
I saw this while in the Factbook looking up the city of Helam, it had "referred to as Ailam" and the reference was 2 Kgdms 10:16 which when clicked on went to 2 Samuel 10:16
Is this an alternate name? I did a search of the forums for Kgdms but didn't come up with anything relevant so thought I would start a new post

"1/2 Kingdoms" seems to be the name for the Samuel books in the Septuagint - you can see this e.g. in the L6 Canon Comparison tool:
Have joy in the Lord!

In the Septuagint, the books 1-2 Samuel are usually called 1-2 Kingdoms, and 1-2 Kings are usually called 3-4 Kingdoms. So:
- 1 Samuel == 1 Kingdoms
- 2 Samuel == 2 Kingdoms
- 1 Kings == 3 Kingdoms
- 2 Kings == 4 Kingdoms
I also believe some English transaltions of the Vulgate use 'Reigns' instead of 'Kingdoms'.

The bible book names in the Douay-Rheims... You will note Chronicles is Paralipomenon and Ezra/Nehemiah are 1 + 2 Esdras. These forms of book names were in use in the RC church up into the early 60s, So any RC writers would naturally refer to them in this way.
