merits a five-star rating. This book is everything a commentary ought to be. preachers, Bible group leaders and belivers eager to understand 2 Samuel should sell their shirt to purchase this excellent commentary!H ~ The Banner of Truth Magazine "He combines the depth of understanding of a thorough-going Old Testament scholar with the breadth of insight of a biblical theologian and the perception of a preacher well used to addressing contemporary audiences to provide us with a commentary that brings the preaching potential of these books to life." ~ Mark Johnston (Minister, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Cardiff, Wales) "Writers will say, Why can't I write like that? Scholars, Why am I not so well read? Expositors, Why didn't I see it all like that too? And readers will join in unanimous praise for a great feast of biblical truth made so digestible, garnished with so many apt illustrations and always focused on the God of all Grace. I have lost count of the number of titbits transferred to my notebooks for future use!" ~ Alec Motyer (Well known Bible expositor and commentary writer) "Such sensitivity to the biblical theology of the text is a crucial correction to much of modern exposition.Reading the commentary is itself a devotional exercise." ~ John W. Hilder in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society on Davis' commentary writing skills.
