Commentary

1 and 2 Samuel for Everyone

---

Outline: Which would you rather be - small in your own eyes or someone after God's own heart? An insecure Saul, or a David whose confidence was in his Maker? Israel, a nation small in its own eyes, wanted to be just like its pagan neighbours - led and protected by earthly kings. By demanding a king, the people rejected their true Sovereign Lord, who, nevertheless, granted their request. Who would the Children of Israel's future be under human overlords? Should they have been careful what they wished for? The books of 1 and 2 Samuel vividly describe the passing of the age of the judges and the founding of the Israelite monarchy. We read of the rise and rule of Samuel, the last and greatest of the judges, and his role in establishing Saul and, later, David as kings over Israel. The wars, deceptions, victories, friendship, intrigue, rivalry, jealousy, and (for David) adultery and family discord that marked the reigns of these two ensure that 1 and 2 Samuel are among the most readable - and relevant - books of the Old Testament. Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, the author takes us deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament. And, as he guides us in our understanding of these time-honoured words and the ancient world they describe, he helps us to apply what we read to our lives.
