Robert Gordon’s stand-alone commentary I & II Samuel (Zondervan, 1986; note: not his similarly titled OT Guides volume published by JSOT) is a little dated now. But Gordon treats both books of Samuel in a single volume, offers solid translational assistance throughout, and conducts his exegesis in a theologically alert fashion. See especially his discussion of “David and Christ” as a typology entailing contrast as well as similarity. [Full Review]
