The Book of Samuel introduced a
new era in the history of Israel.
The era of the Judges was ending
and the era of the monarchy was
about to begin. Samuel, one of the
greatest of all the prophets, led
the nation tirelessly, not only to
victory over the Philistines and
the return of the captured Holy
Ark, but to new spiritual heights.
And then the people demanded a
king, "like all the neighboring
nations." Had they lost faith in
the prophet, or even worse, in
Hashem? Samuel anointed Saul as
the first king, a man who was
"head and shoulders above anyone
else." Why did he lose the throne?
Hashem commanded Samuel to anoint
David as the future - and eternal
- king. How are we to understand
the intense conflict between Saul
and David? In this extraordinary
commentary, Rabbi Yosef Weinberger
combs the full gamut of many
centuries of Rabbinic writings to
explain and clarify the Book. In
his Overview, Rabbi Nosson
Scherman, puts the Book in the
perspective of Jewish history. For
anyone who wants a definitive
understanding of Tanach, this new
work is a must!
The ArtScroll Series presents the
comments of the classic giants of
ancient and contemporary times in
a logical, comprehensible manner,
like a master teacher on an
exciting voyage of intellectual
discovery.
