I and II Samuel (Daily Study Bible)

The books of Samuel present a drama in which the principal players are the God of Israel the prophet Samuel and the first kings of Israel Saul and David. In his masterful commentary David F. Payne shows that this Old Testament book combines history and theology as it narrates Samuels virtues Sauls defeats and Davids successes in relation to Gods activities during an important phase in the life of Israel.Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclays New Testament series the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study for group discussion and for classroom use the Daily Study Bible provides a useful reliable and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.
