Oliver
This is the best commentary on Samuel that I have read, the thought and research that goes into each verse is extremely helpful and detailed. more
G Ware
A good all around commentary. more
Woodrow Burt
Excellent commentary. more
J L Smith
This is another decent evangelical commentary on the books of Samuel (as well as Tsumura), although it must be said it is much thinner than Tsumura and studies both books! I particularly enjoyed his introduction. more
Jeremy Pierce (parableman)
By one measure, Ralph Bergen's NAC (1996) has been until now, and still is for II Samuel, the most detailed, recent commentary by a conservative evangelical on Samuel. more
