"He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed." --1 Samuel 2:10

In this detailed commentary, Harry A. Hoffner Jr. examines 1 Samuel in its historical context and considers how it anticipates a coming perfect king, God's true Anointed One. After the period of Judges, 1 Samuel continues the narrative sweep of Israel's history, covering the rise of the prophet Samuel, the rise and fall of King Saul, and the rise of God's chosen king, David. An expert Hittitologist, Hoffner brings his understanding of ancient Near Eastern cultures to the text of 1-2 Samuel.

The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series is a premier biblical commentary rooted in the original text of Scripture.

Harry A. Hoffner Jr. (1934-2015) was John A. Wilson Professor of Hittitology Emeritus at the University of Chicago. He was considered a world expert on ancient Near Eastern culture specializing in the Hittite language, history, and civilization.
