Davis brings cultural and historical colour to the task of interpreting one of the most studied parts of the Bible. The lessons in 2 Samuel from the life of Israel, and David in particular, have obvious modern parallels. Davis writes with a pastor's heart AND the incisive brain of a respected theologian specialising in the Old Testament texts. No library descriptions found. |

I recently taught through 1 Samuel. In preparation, I read through 1 Samuel by Richard D. Phillips. I found that commentary, from the Reformed Expository series, to be extremely helpful. One of the more helpful authors he frequently quotes was Dale Ralph Davis. So I naturally ordered Davis' commentary on 2 Samuel.
I was not disappointed. Davis does an amazing job of giving historical context to the book, providing enough technical insight to equip the teacher without bogging down in superfluous details, and applying the text to contemporary life. I know little about Dale Ralph Davis. But I can vouch for this commentary. It is one that I will use frequently in the future and recommend heartily to those, like me, who are searching for solid OT resources. ( )
