CHRIST IN 2 SAMUEL
A M HODGKIN
Christ in All the Scriptures - Contents
David was three times anointed: first in his father's house [1Sam 16:1-13], then over Judah, and lastly over all Israel. God has
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the oil of gladness. He is King of kings and Lord of lords, but as David-- though anointed king-- was
in exile while Saul reigned over the people, so Christ is rejected by the world, and the ''Prince of this world'' is reigning in the hearts
of men.
A day came when the men of Judah gathered to David and anointed him king in Hebron. ''The Spirit clothed Amasai and he said,
Thine are we, David, and on thy side'' (2Sam 2:4; 1Chr 12:18). It is a joyful day in the experience of the believer when he yields the
full allegiance of his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, and says, ''Thine am I, and on Thy side''; when he can look up into His face and
say, ''Thou art my King'' (Psa 44:4).
''Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house
of Saul waxed weaker and weaker'' (2Sam 3:1), until at last Abner said to the elders of Israel: ''Ye sought for David in times past to
be king over you. Now then do it: for the Lord hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of My servant David I will save My people
Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'' ''Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto
Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh… And they anointed David king over Israel'' (5:1-3). ''One from
among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother'' (Deu 17:15).
''The king is near of kin to us'' (2Sam 19:42). ''In all things made like unto His brethren'' (Heb 2:17). Here we see all Israel united
under their rightful king. A picture of a heart which is wholly true in its allegiance to the King of kings.
God's promise to Israel was that He would save them from all their enemies by the hand of David. And this was literally fulfilled, from
the day that he slew Goliath, all through his reign. We never read of his being defeated. So Christ has vanquished our great enemy,
Satan. [Christ] has come ''that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear'' [Luke 1:74]. ''He
must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet'' [1Cor 15:25]. ''Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no
end'' (Isa 9:7).
''And David took the stronghold of Zion'' [2Sam 5:7]. This is like the central citadel of our will. When that is surrendered to the Lord,
His reign is established. [cp. 2Cor 10:4,5]
In the story of Mephibosheth [2Sam 9], we have a beautiful picture of the grace of our King, in bringing us nigh and making us ''as
one of the King's sons,'' ''to eat bread at His table continually.'' He brings us into His bancqueting-house and bids us partake, saying,
''Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved'' [Song 5:1]. He Himself is the heavenly food, for He says, ''The bread that I
give is My flesh,'' and ''My flesh is meat indeed'' [John 6:51,55].
David's Sin.
But any type of our blessed Saviour falls short somewhere. And David, as a type, is no exception. We come next to the record of
David's awful sin [2Sam 11]. How can such a sinner be described as ''a man after God's own heart''? [1Sam 13:13,14]. All through
the life of David there is one characteristic which marks him out from other men, and in special contrast to Saul, and that is his
continual trust and confidence in God, his acknowledgment of God's rule, his surrender to God's will. The great desire of his heart
was to build God's House, yet when God sets him aside because he has been a man of war, he acquiesces with perfect grace to
the Divine will [2Sam 7:5-13; 1Chr 28:3-5]. When Nathan brings home to [David's] conscience the great sin of his life-- absolute
monarch that he is-- he acknowledges it at once [2Sam 12], and the depth of his penitence is such as only a heart that knows God
can feel. For all time, the fifty-first Psalm stands out as the expression of the deepest contrition of a repentant soul. In that Psalm,
David speaks of a broken heart as the only sacrifice he has to offer, a sacrifice which God will not despise. And the high and Holy
One that inhabiteth eternity goes further in His wondrous condescension and says, by the mouth of Isaiah, ''I dwell in the high and
holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the
contrite ones'' (Isa 57:15).
The Bible does not cloak sin, least of all in God's own children. It does not spare God's saints. There were steps leading up to
David's sin-- his multiplying wives, his tarrying still at Jerusalem when he should have been at the war. It is always the case that
there is backsliding of heart, before it is seen in outward act. David sinned grievously, but his repentance was immediate, deep, and
sincere. God, indeed, blotted out his transgressions, according to the multitude of His tender mercies, but he did not remove the
consequences of the sin: He chastened David through sore trials in his own family.
A Rebel.
In the flight of Absalom, after the murder of his brother, we have a picture of a rebel soul far off from God. In David, we have a
picture of God's sorrow over sinners. ''The King wept very sore… And David mourned for his son every day… And the soul of David
longed to go forth unto Absalom'' [2Sam 13]. In the word of the wise woman of Tekoa, ''God deviseth means, that he that is banished
be not an outcast from Him'' (2Sam 14:14, R.V.), we have an echo of God's words: ''Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have
found a ransom,'' or ''atonement'' (Job 33:24, margin).
Even when Absalom was in rebellion, the King commanded, ''Deal gently, for my sake, with the young man, even with Absalom.'' In
this, we see the forbearance of God with sinners. And when he heard of his death, he cried: ''O my son Absalom! my son, my son
Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!'' David would fain have died for the rebel, but he could not
[2Sam 18]. How this carries our thoughts on to the One who was not only willing, but able to lay down His life, the Just for the unjust,
to bring us to God [1Pet 3:18].
Love's Allegiance.
In David's exile [2Sam ch. 15-17], we have again a picture of the rejected Saviour. The eastern walls of Jerusalem are bounded by a
deep ravine-- the torrent-bed of the Kidron. When the rebellion of Absalom drove David from his own city, we can imagine him
coming forth by an eastern gate-- probably what answered to the modern gate of St. Stephen-- and following the winding path down
the rocky side of the valley. The King did not go alone. A band of faithful servants went with him; and a little in advance, six hundred
Philistines from the city of Gath, under their leader, Ittai, the Gittite. David had probably won the hearts of these men during his
[stay] in the Philistine city of Ziklag, some thirty years before, and now they were ready to stand by him in time of trouble. When
David came up with this band at the bottom of the ravine, he tried to dissuade Ittai from following him. He besought him as a
stranger, and as one who had but recently joined his service, not to attach himself to a doubtful cause, and he bade him return with
his blessing. But Ittai was firm, his place, whether in life or in death, was by the master he loved. Touched by such devoted
allegiance, David allowed Ittai to pass over the torrent-bed with all his men, and with the little ones that were with him-- no doubt the
families of the band. With the voice of weeping, all the exiles passed over, and climbed the grassy slopes of the Mount of Olives on
the other side. David set captains of thousands over the people that were with him-- a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite.
The devotion of his followers comes out at every turn. When they found that their King intended to go forth with them into the battle,
they would on no account allow it, but restrained him with the words: ''Thou shalt not go forth; for if the half of us die they will not care
for us; but thou art worth ten thousand of us!'' [2Sam 18:3].
A thousand years have passed. Again a rejected King goes forth from the Jerusalem gate, and down the pathway into the dark
valley, and up the slopes of Olivet. Instead of the strong band that went with David, there are but eleven men to go with David's Son,
and of the chosen three not one remains awake to share His agony [Mat 26:36-46]. ''I have trodden the wine-press alone, and of the
people there was none with Me'' [Isa 63:3]. The enthusiasm of David's followers led them to restrain him from going into the battle.
But when the soldiers came to take the Lord of Glory, His little body-guard all forsook Him and fled, and He who is the chiefest
among ten thousand, and altogether lovely [Song 5:10,16], laid down His life for rebels and deserters.
Nearly two thousand years have passed since then. ''Our Lord is still rejected and by the world disowned.'' There is still the golden
opportunity today of making His heart glad by such a devotion as Ittai's. We are His blood-bought possession. It is His purpose that
we should share His glory throughout eternity. And He claims our heart's love now.
Hushai the Archite and Zadok and Abiathar were to represent the King at the very center of rebellion-- ''in the world, but not of it'';
ambassadors in an enemy's country [cp. 2Cor 5:20]. In Shimei, who cursed David in his rejection, we have a picture of those who
reviled Jesus, wagging their heads and mocking Him.
''I will smite the King only,'' was Ahithophel's advice to Absalom, ''and I will bring back all the people unto thee.'' ''Smite the
Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered'' [Mat 26:31]. Jesus, our Shepherd, was ''stricken, smitten of God'' for us [Isa 53]. And
the King passed over Jordan, that river of death.
The Return of the King.
We have a vivid picture of the return of David to the city of Zion [2Sam 19:9-40]. The people clamored for the return of the King.
''Now, therefore, why speak ye not a word of bringing the King back?'' The King heard of this and sent an encouraging message to
the elders. ''And the heart of all the men of Judah was bowed to the King, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word
unto the King, Return thou, and all thy servants.''
''Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus'' [Rev 22:20]. According to Eastern custom, the men of Judah went right over Jordan to meet
their King, and bring him back, and the crowd of rejoicing subjects increased as they drew near the city. One day the cry will go forth,
''Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him'' [Mat 25:6]. The ''the dead in Christ shall rise first,'' and the saints that are
alive on the earth shall be caught up to meet Him in the air [1The 4:16,17]. Our King has set this certainty of hope before us, and
calls us to live in the joyful expectation of it. This should lead to faithfulness in service-- ''Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is
with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be'' (Rev 22:12)-- and [according] to holiness of life (Titus 2:11-14).
A Gospel for the Hopeless.
The ''Mighty Men'' of David's kingdom [2Sam 23:8-39] were those who came to him in the time of his exile, when he was fleeing from
Saul. They were escaped outlaws and criminals, but under David's leadership they became brave, self-controlled, magnanimous
men, like their captain. ''Every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented,
gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there was with him about four hundred men'' (1Sam 22:2).
''This Man receiveth sinners'' [Luke 15:2]. It is a glorious Gospel that is committed to our trust! It is the Gospel for the outcast, for the
refuse of society. It is the Gospel of hope for the worst and the lowest. The transforming power of the Cross of Christ is seen in
changed lives wherever the Gospel is preached.
THE OLD TESTAMENT

REFLECTIONS OF CHRIST
PAUL R. VAN GORDER
2 SAMUEL
This book tells the story of one person, David. It could appropriately be called ''the acts of King David.'' One thousand years after
David, the Lord Jesus Christ was born of his seed and lineage. He was David's son and David's Lord. Consequently, we can expect
Second Samuel to be full of teaching concerning Christ.
The time covered by the book is limited to about 38 years of Israel's history. It tells of David's early training as a shepherd, as a
servant to the king, and as a warrior in hiding. This sets a fitting backdrop for David's later life, where he is seen in three aspects:
A wonderful shepherd to his people.

A wise king as he rules.
A tough soldier who fights courageously.
As Saul is pictured in 1Samuel as the people's choice, so, 2Samuel pictures David as God's choice.
OUTLINE OF THE BOOK--
David's Eulogy for Saul and Jonathan (2Sam 1)

David's Reign at Hebron (2-4)
David's Reign over all Israel at Jerusalem (5-10)
David's Great Sin and Its Punishment (11-21)
David's Song of Deliverance and Last Words (22,23)
David's Numbering of Israel (24)
Limiting our consideration of 2Samuel to a single brief chapter [of Paul Van Gorder's book] is most difficult. So that we may
condense some of the great truths found in this book, we will think of it historically, prophetically, and typically.
HISTORICAL TEACHING--
Chapter 5 of 2Samuel reports that David moved up against Jerusalem, captured it, and made it the capital of his kingdom. We learn
later that this city also became the center of the worship of Jehovah. This is actually the third time Jerusalem is mentioned in the
Bible. The first occurs in Genesis 14, where Abraham, returning from the rescue of Lot, was met by Melchizedek, priest-king of
Salem, and [Abraham] gave a tithe to God. (Psalm 76, a psalm of Asaph, also refers to Jerusalem with the term ''Salem''.)
The second mention of the city is found in Judges 1:8, which records how Judah drove the Jebusites from the city and burned it,
even though the Jebusites remained in control of the citadel.
The third, here in chapter 5 of 2Samuel, tells how it became the capital of the Davidic kingdom. The history of Jerusalem, the most
important spot on the face of the globe, begins here. Another writer has said, ''If Palestine is the theater of the world's dreams, then
Jerusalem is the stage.'' The psalmist wrote of Jerusalem, ''Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the
sides of the north, the city of the great King'' (Psalm 48:2). From the days of David until this present time, Jerusalem has been the
center of the world's attention. In some ways, it has been the ''storm center.''
You will find it most helpful to trace the history of Jerusalem, beginning with 1055 B.C. and proceeding until the New Testament
days. Much of this history can be learned by reading the following passages of Scripture:
[The city and Temple besieged, taken captive, destroyed]--1Kings 14:25,26; 2Chronicles 12:2; 2Kings 14:13; 2Chronicles 25;
2Kings 16:5; 2Chronicles 28; Daniel 1:1; Ezekiel 1:1; 2Kings 25:1; Jeremiah 32:28-30
[The Temple rebuilt]-- Ezra 1:1-5; 2:1-70; 3:1-3; 4:4-24; 7:12-21;
[The city rebuilt --Neh 1:1-11; 2:1-10]
[Prophecy concerning Jerusalem -- Dan 9:25-27, 25 was fulfilled in Nehemiah's day.]
The greatest event in the history of the world, the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, took place in Jerusalem.
If you thumb the pages of the history of Jerusalem after our Lord's birth, you will find that the sands of Israel, and especially the
environs of that city, have been drenched with the blood of rampaging armies. The city has been besieged approximately 20 times
since A.D. 70. Why? Not because of its maritime value, for it is not on the sea. Not because of its population, for other cities have
exceeded it by millions. But somehow it is a strategic center. It has a purpose in the economy of God, and Satan wants to control it.
As we examine carefully the prophetic Word, we find that many great events are yet destined to take place there. God will one day
gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle. Jehovah Himself will fight against them (Zechariah 14:2,3). The Lord Jesus Christ
will return to the Mount of Olives, which is located just to the east of Jerusalem (Zech 14:4). Jerusalem will become the capital of the
millenial kingdom [of Christ] (Zech 8:20-23). And the law and the word of the Lord will go forth from that city (Isaiah 2:1-3).
Jerusalem has repeatedly been caught between opposing armies; it has often been ''the iron between the trip hammer and the
anvil.'' But a day is coming when Jerusalem will become a ''quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down'' (Isaiah
33:20).
PROPHETIC TEACHING--
A main prophetic teaching of 2Samuel is found in the Davidic covenant, spelled out in 2Sa 7:14-16. This is one of the mountain
peaks of Scripture! The covenant with David was confirmed by God's own oath, for Jehovah said, ''I have made a covenant with My
chosen, I have sworn unto David, My servant: Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations'' (Psalm
89:3,4). God further stated, ''Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure forever, and his
throne as the sun before Me'' (Ps 89:35,36).
Note the five terms of the Davidic covenant:
a Davidic house-- a posterity.

a throne-- a royal authority.
a kingdom-- a sphere of rule.
a perpetuity-- forever.
a promise-- disobedience followed by chastisement, but no abrogation [of the promise].
These promises are carried over into the New Testament. Acts 15:14-17 gives us the divine program for the church age, and the
Davidic covenant will be fulfilled when this age is complete.
TYPICAL TEACHING-- (Ed: See caveats regarding Typology - Study of Biblical types)
As much as any book of the Old Testament, 2Samuel demonstrates the grace of God. David himself received God's grace time and
time again. This is shown markedly in his awful sin, his restoration, and his assurance of God's forgiveness.
David's care of Mephibosheth is a picture of the sinner received, forgiven, and exalted to a place of fellowship and protection.
Consider these reflections of God's redeeming grace in Christ:
Mephibosheth was lame (2Sam 4:4),

having fallen at the hands of another. [Rom 5:12]
He was sought by David,
even though he belonged to the family of the king's enemies (9:1-3). [Rom 5:6,8-10]
He was found in the house of Machir (9:5).
''Machir'' means ''sold.'' [Rom 7:14]
He was in the land of Lodebar, which means ''no pasture'' (9:5). [1Pet 2:25]
He feared the king (9:6). [Mat 10:28; Heb 9:27]
He took the place of humility before David (9:6).
This reminds us of the publican [Luke 18:13] and the prodigal [Luke 15:19].
David gave him the highest place (2Sam 9:10). How full is God's measure of grace! [Eph 1:3]
He lived in the city of Jerusalem, which means ''peace'' (9:13). [Rom 5:1,2; Php 4:7]
He carried the marks of his fall to his grave,
but grace kept them out of sight (9:13). [1John 3:1-3]
All of this speaks volumes about the work of our Lord, in making possible the salvation of sinners, and about our acceptance before
Him.
A tremendous Messianic note is sounded in 2Samuel 19:10, ''Now, therefore, why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?''
The Davidic covenant will find its fulfillment in David's greater Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will one day return. [Rev 22:16,20]

The Books of Chronicles by James G. Murphy Publication Date: 1880 Pages: 164
Expositionally examining the books of Chronicles as a prelude to the New Testament, James G.
Murphy provides comprehensive studies on the scope of the text and its relationship to the Pentateuch under
the law. Murphy offers thorough analysis of the literary composition and distinguishing characteristics of the
text—while relying on extra-biblical sources for clarification on events.
Far beyond anything indicated by the small price of this work is its exceeding value for thoroughness of verbal
exposition, exegetical criticism, and homiletic suggestiveness.—Baptist magazine
. . . it contains a vast amount of information, which ministers, Sunday-school teachers, and Bible classes may
turn to good account.—Christian World
James G. Murphy was professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Assembly’s College and the author of
numerous books, including The Elements of Hebrew Grammar, The Human Mind, A Critical and Exegetical
Commentary on the Book of Genesis, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Exodus, with a
New Translation, and A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Leviticus.

The Chronicles by Richard G. Moulton Publication Date: 1901 Pages: 300
Covering in detail the genealogy and history covered in the books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, Richard
G. Moulton’s exposition emphasizes on the restoration of Israel. Moulton expresses the importance of the
Chronicles in understanding Israel’s historical relationship with Yahweh under the law.
In view of the significance and possible results of Professor Moulton’s undertaking, it is not too much to
pronounce it one of the most important spiritual and literary events of the times.—The Outlook
Unquestionable here is a task worth carrying out: and it is to be said at once that Dr. Moulton has carried it out
with great skill and helpfulness. Both the introduction and the notes are distinct contributions to the better
understanding and higher appreciation of the literary character, features, and beauties of the Biblical books
treated. —The Presbyterians and Reformed Review
Richard G. Moulton (1849–1924) was professor of English literature at the University of Chicago. Moulton was
born in England and educated as a lawyer before immigrating to America.
An Apparatus Criticus to Chronicles in the Peshitta Version with a Discussion of the Value of the Codex
Ambrosianus by W. E. Barnes Publication Date: 1897 Pages: 104
Concisely examining the Peshitta (Syriac Vulgate) with regard for semantic variation and omission, W. E.
Barnes provides verse-by-verse elucidation of the text. Barnes seeks to convey the inherent purpose of the
text—while noting several instances of textual substitution and mistranslation. The author draws upon the
Jacobite MS, Florentine MS, Peshitta, Septuagint, and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for semantic comparison.

Colleges: The Two Books of the Kings.
The Books of the Chronicles by R. Kittel Publication Date: 1895 Pages: 90
Examining the composition of the English translation based on the reconstruction of the original Hebrew, R.
Kittel provides critical examination of the text with regard for semantic interpretation and historical context.
Kittel draws upon the Masoretic Text, LXX, Targum manuscripts, Peshita, and Latin Vulgate in order to draw
conclusions on semantic variation and omission. He incorporates views from the early Church Fathers in order
to provide further clarification on key topics.
. . . it is not only valuable, but indispensable.—The London Quarterly Review
R. Kittel (1853–1929) was educated at Tübingen University before becoming professor of Old Testament at
the University of Leipzeig.
The First and Second Books of Chronicles by A. Hughes-Games Publication Date: 1902 Pages: 240
Viewing the books of 1 and 2 Chronicles as an aggregate of compiled history, A. Hughes-Games offers in-
depth exposition of the text from historical context—while looking at the original compilation of the books in the
Septuagint. Following an extensive introduction to the text covering literary composition, canonical positioning,
semantic variations, and questions of authenticity, A. Hughes-Games moves verse-by-verse while offering
clarification of critical points.
A. Hughes-Games was venerable archdeacon of Holy Trinity Church, Hull.

F. M. Fearnley is also the author of The Bread of God, This Life and the Life to Come, and Elijah and Elisha.
The Parallel Histories of Judah and Israel, vol. 1 & 2 Author: Maximilian Geneste Publication Date: 1843 (654 pages)
Volume 1 - Examining the intimated relationship and history between Israel and Judah, Maximilian Geneste
provides extensive commentary on the composition and arrangement of the text, historical context, and
elucidation of reiterated motifs. Offering direct interpretation through semantics, Geneste seeks to convey the
spiritual state of Israel and Judah during this period of time. Volume one covers the text from the reign of
Rehoboam until the fall of Jerusalem.
Volume 2 - Examining the intimated relationship and history between Israel and Judah, Maximilian Geneste

Notes on the Hebrew Text of the Books of Kings by C. F. Burney Publication Date: 1903 (444 pages)
Focusing on providing exegetical commentary on the books of Kings, C. F. Burney's Notes on the Hebrew
Test of the Books of Kings offers textual criticism, hermeneutic and presuppositional interpretation, and
semantic analysis of the text. Looking at the Old Testament parallels throughout the text, Burney delineates
the importance of idiomatic and colloquial use of language throughout the books.

Expository Readings on the Books of Kings by John Cumming Publication Date: 1859
Fully illustrating the books of Kings, John Cumming's Expository Readings on the Books of Kings offers easy
to understand commentary within an exegetical framework. Cumming provides textual criticism, hermeneutics,
and exposition of the text, while focusing on practical application of key themes.
Comment - Interesting - seems to have a devotional quality.
John Cumming (1807–1881) was an influential and renowned preacher of the National Scottish Church in
Covent Garden. He published approximately 180 books in his lifetime. In 1832, Cumming was appointed to
the Crown Court Church in Covent Garden, London, a Church of Scotland congregation that catered for Scots
living in London. At the time, the congregation had approximately 80 members, but Cumming was able to grow
his congregation to around 900, and he regularly preached to congregations of 500-600 on Sundays. Some of
his views on eschatology are questionable at best.
The Mystery of the Kingdom: Traced Through the Four Books of Kings by Andrew J. Jukes Publication Date: 1884
Originally delivered as a series of lectures on the books of Samuel and Kings, Andrew J. Jukes offers valuable
exegesis, while focusing on the difficult transition from theocracy to monarchy. Jukes distinguishes between
use of literal and figurative language within the text, and seeks to elucidate the inherent meaning within the
passages.
The book is remarkable as an effort to substantiate the fact of a developmental process in prophecy and
revelation, the principle laid down being that God invariably adapts Himself to the condition of those whom He
addresses; and the point is aptly and ingeniously illustrated in many ways . . . we have found it to be effective
and interesting.—The British Quarterly Review
This classic on 1 Kings is organized as follows:
Introduction. On the Existence and Principle of a Mystic Sense.

I. The General Character of the Books of Kings
II. The Steps Which Led to a King
III. The Steps Which Led to a King (continued)
IV. The Respective Characters of the First Two Kings
V. The Causes of God’s Rejection of the First King
VI. The Relative Position of the First Two Kings, From the Rejection Until the Death of Saul
VII. Various Estimates of David, During the Reign of Saul
Andrew J. Jukes (1815–1901) was a prolific author and clergyman educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Restitution of All Things, Four Views of Christ, and The Differences of the Four Gospels. Among those
influenced by Jukes was Hudson Taylor
The Kings by Richard G. Moulton Publication Date: 1896 (308 pages)
The Kings contains succinct explanation and clarification on textual arrangement, parallel motifs and figurative
language, chronological sequence, and the scope of the text. Intended as an aid for historical interpretation,
Richard G. Moulton's commentary provides useful clarity for clergy and laymen alike.
The volume contains a valuable introduction to the book as a piece of literature, and notes are added when
necessary. Professor Moulton brings to this work unusual gifts and experience as scholar, teacher, and writer;
genuine literary feeling which has been cultivated by close study. Here is not only a "well of English undefiled,"
but books written in such strong and simple language that a child can understand them. A copy of this edition
should be in every family, and we are persuaded it would not remain unread.—The Protestant Episcopal
Review
Richard G. Moulton (1849–1924) was Professor of English Literature at the University of Chicago. Moulton
was born in England and educated at Cambridge as a lawyer before immigrating to America—later receiving a
PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of over 30 titles including Shakespeare as a

Ancient Classical Drama.
Notes on 1 Kings: James Davies Publication Date: 1872

and the reiteration of theocratic themes throughout the text. Davies utilizes the Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, and
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for clarification on textual arrangement, semantic variation, and historical
context.
James Davies is also author of St. Matthew's Gospel, Acts of the Apostles, Book of Common Prayer,
and History and Literature of the Tudor and Stuart Periods. Davies was educated at the University of London.
The First and Second Books of Kings: James Robertson Publication Date: 1902 Pages: 273
Looking at purpose, authorship, date of composition, and chronology of the text, James Robertson offers
practical explication of the text, while giving special regard to the didactic themes. Robertson provides
extensive notes for clarification of key parts of the text, as well as further reading.
Dr. Robertson is the editor of the volume which contains The First and Second Books of Kings, and his name
is a guarantee for thorough and judicious work. We have not been a better introduction . . . [its] framework is
clearly brought out.—The London Quarterly Review
James Robertson (1839–1902) was educated at the parish school of Drull, the University of Toronto, Princeton
Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary. Robertson went on to become the minister of Knox
Church in Winnipeg and a missionary in New York. He played a large part in founding the University of
Manitoba, as well as hundreds of churches. The Toronto Globe noted at the time of Robertson's death: “No
man living knows more about the Canadian Northwest, its resources, its development, its social, moral and
religious conditions and necessities.”
The Books of the Kings of Judah and Israel: A Harmony of the Books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles by William Day
Crockett Publication Date: 1897 Pages: 364
Chronologically moving through the Books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, William Day Crockett provides
thorough exegesis that is systematically divided between the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon. Discoursing
on Israel's want for a monarchy, Crockett inculcates the reoccurring sin and redemption cycles that Israel
initiates—regardless of admonition and warning.
His work is in line with the revival of interest in the Bible as literature. There is an analytical outline, and a full
appendix and index. Mr. Crockett has shown skill and judgment that will commend his work to the great mass
of students.—Public Opinion
Mr. Crockett's work is an honest, laborious and successful piece of this study of the Old Testament as it is, that
is to be so highly commended both a piece of work and as an aid to others in the study of the central section
of the history of the Old Testament as it lies in the documents. It ought to have a 'wide acceptance and
usefulness.'—The Presbyterian and Reformed Review
William Day Crockett (1869–1930) was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Canton, Pennsylvania.
Crockett is the author of several titles including A Harmony of the books of Samuel, Kings, and
Chronicles and A Satchel Guide to Europe
Saul, the First King of Israel: A Scripture Study - Joseph Augustus Miller Publication Date: 1853 Pages: 318
Eminently thoughtful, useful, practical sermons. We do not see how Saul’s life-failure could be more profitably
set forth.’ – Spurgeon
Covering in detail the text of First and Second Samuel, Joseph August Miller explicates the text with the
purpose of practical application of critical themes—exempli gratia: exemplification of faith, humility,
repentance, and obedience. Drawing attention to the intent of the heart rather than the profession of religion
and mores, Miller offers insightful and exegetical commentary on the moral state of Israel in the time of Saul.
This is the most interesting and instructive volume. The character and the history of Saul form a striking and
affecting study; although, as our author remarks, 'in comparison with the other scripture memoirs, but little has
been written on this piece of biography.' With great minuteness, and force, and beauty, he brings out the chief
points in the career of the first monarch of Israel; and at the same time makes the narrative of outward events
serve as a key to unlock the chambers of his inner being. —The Eclectic Review
Joseph Augustus Miller was educated at Highbury College before being ordained minister of Queen-Street
Chapel in Sheffield.
Samuel the Prophet - F. B. Meyer Pages: 280
In Samuel the Prophet, F. B. Meyer discusses the critical themes embedded in the text of First Samuel—in
context of Israel's transition to a central government. Meyer's commentary conveys the ramifications of Israel's
partiality to obedience of the Lord, and explicitly views this as a period of dispensation for Israel.
He left a big witness as a Christian, husband and expositor on the spiritual life. Here he is clear, simple, to the
point, and practical in application. The book is especially suited for pastors, Sunday School teachers and
laypersons. Sometimes he overdoes things, as in seeing Hittites and confederates as depicting “The evil habits
of the old past” (p. 12). Yet in many cases he is apt, as using Gideon to show the need to look to God for
adequacy. He sees Saul as unsaved, having the Spirit on him but not in him (103).- Rosscup
F. B. Meyer (1847—1929) was educated at Brighton College, University of London, and Regent's Park
College. Meyer was well known for his friendship with Dwight L. Moody, as well as authoring over forty titles.

Cyril J. Barber - One of the finest devotional commentaries ever produced. (This comment is related to

Spurgeon - ‘Dr. Blaikie is a good writer. This Life of David has supplied a great lack.’ – Spurgeon
Samuel and Saul: Their Lives and Times - William Deane Publication Date: 1889 230 pp.
“A pleasing exposition of the Biblical text.” – Cyril J. Barber
Examining the roles of Samuel and Saul in Israel, William J. Deane offers comprehensive exposition of the text
with regard for key themes and events. Moving chapter-by-chapter the author provides historical context of
key events, analysis of Israel's propensity to fall away from the law, and the transition into monarchical rule.
The whole style of treatment is careful and suggestive. The writer avails himself of the labors of English and
Continental commentators, so that the reader of this book will have the fullest lights that modern research has
thrown on the subject. Such a book will be a distinct acquisition . . .—The London Quarterly and Holborn
Review
William J. Deane was Rector of Ashan, Essex.

Promise and Deliverance, Volume 2 The failure of Israel's Theocracy by S G De Graaf - 1905
Scroll to Page 67-399 for The History of Israel under a Theocracy - goes from Saul to the Captivity to Babylon
(1 Samuel - 2 Chronicles)
It can be difficult to find a quality narrative Bible curriculum for teens and adults. The four volume Promise and
Deliverance series by S.G. De Graaf, first published years ago, is still among the best. Many years
ago Christianity Today called it “A landmark in interpreting the simple stories of the Bible” and that assessment
is as valid as ever.
For years the author, Reverend De Graaf, led a weekly class for those who taught Bible to children, both at
Sunday schools and at day schools. This book is the fruit of repeatedly answering the question, “How do we
tell this Bible story?” and is helpful for teachers of little ones, for teens to study on their own, and also for
anyone else who wishes to study the Bible.
So what is so special about the Promise and Deliverance series? It focuses on the meaning of each story and
on how to understand and share it. In the introduction to the first volume, the author reminds us that the
purpose of telling a story is to make it come alive for the hearer, but also warns us about letting the main point
get lost in details. Since God wrote the Bible in order that we might believe, not merely to entertain us, this
should never be forgotten.
In each story God reveals himself in a particular way, and the important thing is to try to understand what God
intends to reveal to us in that specific story. And, no, it is usually not a moral lesson. Instead, it is usually
something about who God is and about how he makes and keeps his covenant with us. He is the main
character, says De Graaf, and we must not make the mistake of focusing on human actions instead of on God.
These concepts are fundamental to each of the more than 200 Bible narratives. Each narrative, based on a
specific Bible passage, is prefaced with a short section that outlines the main goals of the story. The main
thought is summarized in a single sentence, and the actual story follows. Each narrative not only describes
the Bible events but also interprets them, applying them to our lives today. Thus Promise and Deliverance can
also serve as a devotional. (Description by Annie Kate at The Curriculum Choice)
All 4 Volumes of De Graaf's in Promise and Deliverance:
1. Promise and Deliverance I: From Creation To The Conquest Of Canaan

2. Promise and Deliverance II: The failure of Israel's Theocracy
3. Promise and Deliverance III: Christ's Ministry and Death
4. Promise and Deliverance IV (Christ and the Church)
Lights and Shadows in the Life of King David by Charles Vince 1871 250 pp.
Spurgeon - ‘Baptist minister of Birmingham [England]’ ‘Sermons of the highest order upon a few incidents in
David’s life. They are models of chaste, subdued, but powerful preaching.’
A Critical History of the Life of David by Samuel Chandler, 1853
Spurgeon - This is a masterpiece as a critical history, and the best of Chandler’s productions. Many of the
Psalms are explained with commendable learning, but the spiritual element is absent.
The Life and Reign of David by George Smith, 1867
Spurgeon - David’s life is here concisely written, with such of the Psalms interwoven as can be referred to
special periods. It cannot be read without ministering instruction.

The First Book of Samuel W. O. E. Oesterley Publication Date: 1913 Pages: 192
Concisely examining the authorship, composition, canonization, and original text of First Samuel, W. O. E.
Oesterly provides thorough exposition of the text. Systematically conveying the spiritual and moral state of
Israel in the text, Oesterley utilizes the Septuagint, Peshitta, Latin Vulgate, and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia
for semantic and philological comparison. The author provides extensive notes for critical explanation and
analysis of key topics.
W. O. E. Oesterley (1866–1950) was educated at Brighton College, Jesus College, and West Theological
College. Oesterley went on to become Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Studies at King's College,
London. He is the author of many titles including: The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach or
Ecclesiasticus, The Epistle to Philemon, and The Doctrine of the Last Things: Jewish and Christian.
Saul: the First King of Israel by Thomas Kirk 1896
“Postmortem of a dead king. Devotional and perceptive.” – Cyril J. Barber
Samuel the Prophet, and the Lessons of His Life and Times by Robert Steel, 1860
In this study of the character of Samuel, Robert Steel examines how the narratives and characters of the Old
Testament, as opposed to the New, present an opportunity to learn from the lives of “men like ourselves,” with
“peculiar temptations as well as privileges, and revealed infirmities and well as virtues.” Steel works through
the books of Samuel in 24 lessons, from his intriguing calling and the labor of his old age. Drawing out lessons
for every-day Christian living, Steel examines the life of Solomon, which touches on “all classes and
conditions,” as “one of the brightest examples of holy living and useful labor.”
Samuel, Saul and David and Samuel the Ruler in Daily Bible Illustrations by John Kitto
Spurgeon - ‘Should always be consulted’ ‘They are not exactly a commentary, but what marvelous expositions
you have there! You have reading more interesting than any novel that was ever written, and as instructive as
the heaviest theology. The matter is quite attractive and fascinating, and yet so weighty, that the man who
shall study those eight volumes thoroughly, will not fail to read his Bible intelligently and with growing interest.’
David, King of Israel His Life and Lessons - William Taylor
“Devotional expositions manifesting a depth seldom attained by preachers today.” – Cyril J. Barber
‘A grand work which should be in every library.’
The gentle but compelling style adopted by the author takes each event in David’s life, together with the
psalms thought to be written at the time, and makes applications helpful to all Christians. Delightful to read
devotionally but will also furnish the preacher with much to help in sermon preparation. Taylor is unafraid to
make gospel applications when appropriate and this aspect will be appreciated too.
A biography told through a Christian lens. Taylor moves through the chronology of David's life, conveying the
events and also giving an objective Christian commentary.
William Taylor (1829-1895), originally from Scotland, was pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York for twenty
years. This work on the life of David began life as evening messages delivered to his congregation.

‘An attempt to reconcile and correlate the history of the Books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles into
chronological sequence.’ – Cyril J. Barber
Mr. Crockett's work is an honest, laborious and successful piece of this study of the Old Testament as it is, that
is to be so highly commended both a piece of work and as an aid to others in the study of the central section
of the history of the Old Testament as it lies in the documents. It ought to have a 'wide acceptance and
usefulness.'—The Presbyterian and Reformed Review
William Day Crockett (1869–1930) was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Canton, Pennsylvania.
Crockett is the author of several titles including A Harmony of the books of Samuel, Kings, and
Chronicles and A Satchel Guide to Europe

Combining a pious voice with the objective tone of the Age of Reason, this volume presents the critical

A Commentary on the First Book of Samuel by Loring W. Batten Publication Date: 1919 Pages: 236
Loring W. Batten's A Commentary on the First Book of Samuel provides critical exegesis on the book of First
Samuel that combines thorough exposition, semantic evaluation and pragmatics, and explanatory notes.
Batten covers the scope and composition of the text within historical context.
This is a worthy addition to the Bible for Home and School. The notes are always to the point . . . and the
composite character of the book is clearly brought out both in the commentary proper and in the brief but well-
written Introduction. —The Homiletic Review
Loring W. Batten (1859—1946) was Professor of the Literature and Interpretation of the Old Testament,
General Theological Seminary in New York and a former chairman of the Society for Biblical Scholarship
(1928).

Expositionally moving through the book of First Samuel, Lewis Hughes provides comprehensive commentary
that elucidates semantic meaning, colloquial language, textual composition, and the scope of biblical history
covered. Hughes conveys the text in such a way as to combine succinct clarification and a forbearance of
pedantic language.
Unlike many 'Manuals,' the present book will prove a good help . . . it is conceived in a teacher's spirit. —The
Schoolmaster
Lewis Hughes was Professor at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge.
Studies in the First Book of Samuel by Herbert Lockwood WillettPublication Date: 1909 Pages: 356
Originally intended as a textbook for the study of First Samuel, Hebert Lockwood Willett offers sound exegesis
coupled with end-of-chapter questions for critical application and reflection. Willett's commentary is structured
to provide exhortation of the text, familiarization with the original language, and an overview of key events
found in First Samuel.
A double purpose is however served by Dr. Willett's book on Samuel; the pupil not only has a fascinating
introduction to this book and to its many exciting events, but he is brought face to face with many of his own
ethical and religious problems . . .—Book Review Digest
Herbert Lockwood Willett (1864—1944) was educated at Bethany College, Yale University, University of
Berlin, and the University of Chicago. Willett went on to become Professor of Semitic Languages and
Literature at the University of Chicago and Minister of Memorial Church of Christ, Chicago.

of Paley's Evidences of Christianity, England under the Normans, and England Under the Tudors.
Sabbath Morning Readings on the Old Testament: The First and Second Books of Samuel by John Cumming Publication
Date: 1859 Pages: 465
Written as a collection of studies to be read on Sunday mornings, John Cumming offers extensive
commentary on books of Samuel with regard for Israel's covenant. Moving chapter-to-chapter, Cumming seeks
to elucidate the key principles, truths, and lessons found in the books of Samuel.
The expositions are clear, vigorous, and strongly evangelical. There is little to which the critic can take
exceptional there is much, very much, to edify and instruct the candid reader. We are very glad to give these
expositions very sincere commendation and to wish for them an extended circulation.—The Baptist Magazine
On his work on Deuteronomy: “And to show that the Old Testament can be preached and is relevant to our
lives today, John Cumming (1807-1881), Scottish born preacher and, for many years minister of the National
Scottish Church, London, expounds Moses’ last treatises with an unction that was characteristic of all that was
best in the era in which he lived.” – Cyril J. Barber
John Cumming was Minister of the Scottish National Church at Crown Court.
From Samuel to Solomon by Charles S. Robinson, 1889
The narratives of 1 and 2 Samuel are some of the most exciting and personal narratives of the Old Testament.
In this volume, Presbyterian minister Charles S. Robinson draws out 29 lessons from the two books that follow
the lives of Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon–four leaders “whose lives were so individual and yet in many
respects so alike.” According to Robinson, “whoever understands those men will have attained a knowledge of
human nature which will prove valuable to him as a citizen and a Christian.”
Lectures on the Life of Samuel: Preached in the Parish of Warminster, Wilts, during Lent, A.D. 1834by William Dalby
In these eight lectures, William Dalby examines the biblical account of Samuel, aiming to “exhibit its truths
practically,” believing that teaching practical application to be both the most difficult and most important labor
of a preacher. Dalby’s applications of Scripture to everyday life are eminently readable and enduringly valuable
for those seeking to live under the authority of Scripture.
Samuel and His Age: A Study in the Constitutional History of Israel by George C. M. Douglas, 1901
This fascinating volume examines the governmental structure of Israel as it developed in 1 and 2 Samuel.
Throughout his analysis of these books, George C. M. Douglas pays particular attention to Samuel, as Israel’s
second grandest leader after Moses, analyzing how he stewarded and passed off the three offices of prophet,
priest, and supreme ruler through his life and the reigns of Saul and David.

COMMENTARY CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY ON THE WHOLE BIBLE

2 Samuel
Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown. Published 1871. One of the Better Older Commentary. It
does not analyze the text based on so-called "higher criticism," but is thoroughly conservative and
evangelical. Tends to be more conservative and literal. Avoids spiritualizing.
Spurgeon's Comment: "Of this I have a very high opinion. It is the joint work of Mr. Jamieson, A. R. Fausset,
and Dr. David Brown. It is to some extent a compilation and condensation of other men’s thoughts, but it is
sufficiently original to claim a place in every minister’s library; indeed it contains so great a variety of
information that if a man had no other exposition he would find himself at no great loss if he possessed this
and used it diligently."

2 Samuel 9 God’s Gift
A British factory worker and his wife were excited when, after many years of marriage, they discovered they
were going to have their first child. According to author Jill Briscoe, who told this true story, the man eagerly
relayed the good news to his fellow workers. He told them God had answered his prayers. But they made fun
of him for asking God for a child. When the baby was born, he was diagnosed as having Down’s syndrome. As
the father made his way to work for the first time after the birth, he wondered how to face his co-workers.
“God, please give me wisdom,” he prayed. Just as he feared, some said mockingly, “So, God gave you this
child!” The new father stood for a long time, silently asking God for help. At last he said, “I’m glad the Lord
gave this child to me and not to you.” As this man accepted his disabled son as God’s gift to him, so David
was pleased to show kindness to Saul’s son who was “lame in his feet” (2 Sam. 9:3). Some may have rejected
Mephibosheth because he was lame, but David’s action showed that he valued him greatly. - Our Daily Bread,
April 6, 1994
2 Samuel 11:3 Grandfather of Bathsheba
By comparing 2 Samuel 11:3 and 23:34, some believe that Ahithophel was the grandfather of Bathsheba, and
that he was enraged because David had committed adultery with her. So Ahithophel may have wanted
Absalom to destroy David and take the throne from his father. But when he saw Absalom following advice that
would lead to defeat, he was so despondent that he gave in to despair and took his own life instead of
committing the matter to God. Our Daily Bread, Sept. 2, 1990
2 Samuel 12 Adultery/Affair
When I was growing up, “adultery” was a word one whispered. Today the word is “affair,” and it’s a subtle
change. Affair has an air of mystery about it, and romance, and excitement. Radio, television, movies, books—
all of the media—assume or encourage the affair. It’s easy to fall into the trap: everyone is doing it, so it must
be OK. Unless, of course, you believe in keeping the laws of God. For whatever reason, keeping the seventh
commandment is becoming more difficult for more and more Christians. In fact, JU. Allan Petersen begins his
new book, The Myth of the Greener Grass, with a question: “Is Anyone Faithful Anymore” And it’s a good
question. He writes that in his 38 years of traveling ministry he has counseled pastors, pastors’ wives,
missionaries, Sunday school teachers, Christian counselors, and church members who reflect the increasing
incidence of extramarital affairs among professing Christian people. There is a “tendency to find reasons to
support this behavior, even though those reasons might be contrary to the moral and biblical convictions we
have long held.” Today we want to talk about relationships, not sin. Peterson points out the relationship of
David and Bathsheba, and the results of their affair. The lessons we can learn from the story of David, a man
of God who fell into sin, apply to all of us, men and women alike. Here are some of the, pointed out by
Petersen:
1. No one, however chosen, blessed, and used of God, is immune to an extramarital affair.
2. Anyone, regardless of how many victories he has won, can fall disastrously.
3. The act of infidelity is the result of uncontrolled desires, thoughts, and fantasies.
4. Your body is your servant or it becomes your master.
5. A Christian who falls will excuse, rationalize, and conceal, the same as anyone else.
6. Sin can be enjoyable but it can never be successfully covered.
7. One night of passion can spark years of family pain.
8. Failure is neither fatal nor final. Source unknown

2 Samuel 21:17 - People Helping People
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his aid. 2 Samuel 21:17
Sometimes we win great spiritual victories or reach a seemingly unattainable goal without the help of a friend
or companion. This was true of David when as a shepherd lad he killed Goliath with nothing but a sling and
faith in God. In later years, however, he would have been slain by a giant named Ishbibenob if his nephew
Abishai had not come to his aid. Now, are we to conclude that God was with David when he met Goliath, but
not when he confronted the second giant? I don’t think so! The Lord simply used a different means to take
care of His servant. The first time, He used David’s skill with the sling; the second time, He used Abishai’s
strength and military prowess. Our Daily Bread, Wednesday, February 8.
2 Samuel 24:24 Painting Contractor
Wes Evans, principal of Christian Heritage School, Edwall, WA, told of how a painting contractor donated a
large amount of paint to a school he formerly was at. He used the donation as a tax write-off. When they
opened it, it not only was of a horrendous color, but most of it had gone bad. The school had to pay to have it
hauled to the dump.

James Rosscup writes "Keil, C. F. and Franz Delitzsch. Commentary on the Old Testament. 25 volumes. Grand Rapids:
Eerdmans, 1950. This is the best older, overall treatment of a critical nature on the Old Testament Hebrew text verse by verse and
is a good standard work to buy. The student can buy parts or the whole of this series. Sometimes it is evangelical, at other times
liberal ideas enter." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

Expositions and Homilies
Spurgeon's Comments on Lange's Series: "These volumes are not all of equal value, but as a whole, they are a grand addition to
our stores. The American translators have added considerably to the German work, and in some cases these additions are more
valuable than the original matter. For homiletical purposes these volumes are so many hills of gold, but, alas, there is dross also, for
Baptismal Regeneration and other grave errors occur… We are very far from endorsing all Zöckler’s remarks." (Caveat: Be a

JAMES ROSSCUP - Commentaries for Biblical Expositors
Ackroyd, Peter R. The Second Book of Samuel (Cambridge Bible Commentary). Cambridge: U. P., 1977. 247 pp. - An
attempt to meet general readers’ needs. The approach is mildly critical. Ackroyd has a clear writing style and often is of help
on the reading of a given text, historical setting, customs and explanation of the passage. The work is cursory.
Anderson, A. A. 2 Samuel (Word Biblical Commentary). Waco, TX. Word Books, 1989. 302 pp. Conservatives will find much to
aid them here in meticulous exegetical detail and giving of different views, all done quite readably. One is soon aware,
however, of the nonconservative perspective, as in supposing errors as to historical fact, misstatements, and portions ineptly
inserted by an exilic redactor (cf. pp. 118–19, 132, 161, 168 etc.). Users will have to use the work with much carefulness but
can glean heavy profit from places where he contributes well. Anderson is Honorary Fellow in theology, University of
Manchester, England. His introduction takes up theories of composition that specialized scholars can follow completely, even
if they do not agree. Many things said in Samuel are attributed to the artistic skill of the author, and one gains the impression
that to Anderson they are not historically reliable (xxxiv, etc.). The form/structure/setting sections have much that can help
evangelicals and much that gives liberal slants biased on ideas of theoretical sources. Careful advanced students can sift out
much and leave much. Like Klein’s work on I Samuel, the flow is broken in many ways, so the use of the commentary for any
but specialist students will be slow plodding and spotty in benefit.
Baldwin, Joyce C. 1 and 2 Samuel: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentary). Grand Rapids:
Eerdmans, 1988. 299 pp. A concise, competent, clear evangelical work using various sources, elucidating most passages well
and showing their theological and practical relevance then and now.
Barber, Cyril J. The Book of Second Samuel. Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux, 2000. Barber, a keen student aggressive to explain
passages, surveys each segment in its main flow, and offers relational application. He uses provocative titles, vivid writing,
often careful reasons for views, and valuable leads for teachers and preachers. He articulates lessons such as David’s making
decisions as regarding the Amalekite claiming to have killed Saul, David covering up sin, and problems to which wrong
choices can lead (2 Sam. 13ff). Overall the work is a good catalyst for speakers, surveying students, and lay readers.
Bergen, Robert D. 1, 2 Samuel (New American Commentary). Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 1996. The commentator is a
professor at Hannibal-La Grange College, Hannibal, MO. He argues for the accurate, reliable, relevant Word of God. His
excellent work reflects wide knowledge of biblical literature in the text and in footnotes. The writing flows with lucid vitality, and
Bergen invests much from word study, grammar, customs, geographical details, etc. His appraisal of Eli is arresting (69), as
are comments on Saul’s excuses of I Sam. 15 and David’s fight with Goliath. Bergen’s careful weighing of views about how
Saul died ends with his harmonizing view that Saul fell on his sword (I Sam. 31), but in his final moments the Amalekite
hastened his death (2 Sam. 1). This is a fine grappling with main details in the two books.
Evans, Mary J. 1 and 2 Samuel (New International Critical Commentary). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2000. A lecturer in OT
at London Bible College did well-studied, lucid comments on verses, with added notes on certain details after each section.
She covers most bases, resolves many problems, and elucidates customs, word meanings, and the like. She has no firm
solution on some verses, such as the number left out in I Sam. 13:1. She believes that the Amalekite found Saul dead, and
took advantage, supposing that David would reward him (2 Sam. 1). She shows richness from wide reading awareness on
many points.
Gordon, R. P. 1 and 2 Samuel: A Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1986. 375 pp. This generally highly-regarded work
offers much assistance verse by verse, using the RSV. The author comments a lot on the Hebrew text as to exegesis, word
study, dealing with problems, etc.
Laney, J. Carl. First and Second Samuel. Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1982. 132 pp. Laney, an assistant professor of Biblical
literature at Western Conservative Baptist Seminary and more widely known for his volume The Divorce Myth, traces the lives
of Samuel, Saul and David. This 1982 update for Moody Press’s Everyman’s Bible Commentary Series is a surprisingly
resourceful paperback. Laney argues tersely for a 722 B. C. date for the Fall of Samaria. Thus, he prefers a time of writing for I
& II Samuel sometime during or immediately following David’s lifetime. He dates the dividing of the kingdom as 931 B. C.
Regarding textual matters, Laney does not overlook the lacuna of I Samuel 13:1 as he states that great benefit can be gleaned
from the LXX in a study of these two books. One interesting sidelight is his citation of the “dynastic defense” motif evident in I
Samuel 15 and II Samuel 8, a setting apparently not unlike 13th Century Hittite tradition. Laney’s discussion of God’s will in I
Samuel 8:21, 22 is quite helpful. In I Samuel 28 the treatment of the Witch of Endor is thorough. He concludes that God
caused Samuel himself to appear. In II Samuel 7, Laney sheds light on the covenant by picturing its threefold nature. Laney’s
maps and graphics are well-placed and worthwhile. His treatment in 2 Samuel 24 of the two-sided nature of David numbering
God’s people is also worthy of attention. This is a well researched and supported volume. There are few volumes on I and II
Samuel which could rightly claim to be more helpful on expositional matters.—Jan Sattem
Merrill, Eugene. “I and II Samuel,” Bible Knowledge Commentary, ed. John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck. Volume I. Wheaton:
Victor Books, 1983. Professor of Old Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary surveys both books with conservative
expertise, dealing with Hebrew meaning, problems, customs, etc. He has a high view of inspiration and a good use of
literature relevant in the area.
Meyer, F. B. Cf. under Joshua. Vos, Howard F. 1, 2 Samuel (Bible Study Commentary). Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1983. 166
pp. Vos was Professor of History and Archaeology, King’s College, Briarcliff Manor, New York, In this conservative work he
gives a long outline at the outset, then incorporates this in his survey of I and 2 Samuel. For many Bible teachers, preachers,
and lay people the exposition helpfully sums up what is said and some implications. It offers brief explanation of some main
problems, such as the number judged at Beth Shemesh in I Samuel 6:19ff. and how to fill in the number of Saul’s years in
13:1.

Spurgeon comments-"Should always be consulted… Exceeding meritorious. Refer to it frequently… They

are not exactly a commentary, but what marvelous expositions you have there! You have reading more
interesting than any novel that was ever written, and as instructive as the heaviest theology. The matter is
quite attractive and fascinating, and yet so weighty, that the man who shall study these volumes thoroughly,
will not fail to read his Bible intelligently and with growing interest."

JOHN KITTO THE PICTORIAL BIBLE WITH NOTES
Spurgeon's Comments on Kitto: "Then, of course, gentlemen, you will economize rigidly until you have
accumulated funds to purchase Kitto’s Pictorial Bible. You mean to take that goodly freight on board before
you launch upon the sea of married life. As you cannot visit the Holy Land, it is well for you that there is a work
like the Pictorial Bible, in which the notes of the most observant travellers are arranged under the texts which
they illustrate. For the geography, zoology, botany, and manners and customs of Palestine, this will be your
counselor and guide… A work of art as well as learning."

CHARLES SWINDOLL
Book of Second Samuel Overview - Insight for Living Ministries
Excerpt - How do I apply this? David is known as a “man after [God’s] own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14)
because, though he sinned greatly and made mistakes, he acknowledged those failures and repented before
God. Repent means to turn away from sin and turn toward righteousness. Our Father knows we are not
perfect. So His Son, Jesus Christ, paid the price for our sins so that we can become righteous in God’s sight
through faith. And although our salvation is secure, our daily sins can hinder our relationship with God. When
we confess our sins, turning to the Lord in humility, He will forgive us and restore our relationship with Him.
The apostle James has written what might be an appropriate epitaph for David. It can be yours, too: “Humble
yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you” (James 4:10).

Handfuls of Purpose
Joseph Parker - People's Bible - Rosscup: This work, later called Preaching Through the Bible (Baker Book House), is rich in its
applications and exhortations, though often not particularly helpful for the reader who is looking for exposition that stays right with
the text. Treatment of the texts is sermonic. (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An annotated bibliography of selected works)

CHARLES SIMEON
Sermons 2 Samuel
John Piper says that Horae Homileticae "is the best place to go for researching Simeon's theology. You can find his views on
almost every key text in the Bible. He did not want to be labeled a Calvinist or an Arminian. He wanted to be Biblical through and
through and give every text its due proportion, whether it sounded Arminian as it stands or Calvinistic. But he was known as an
evangelical Calvinist, and rightly so. As I have read portions of his sermons on texts concerning election and effectual calling and
perseverance he is uninhibited in his affirmation of what we would call the doctrines of grace… What Simeon experienced in the
word was remarkable. And it is so utterly different from the counsel that we receive today that it is worth looking at." (Brothers, We
Must Not Mind a Little Suffering) (Bolding added)
