Opis: Samuel and Saul, Their Lives and Times (Classic Reprint) - Deane Rev. William

Excerpt from Samuel and Saul, Their Lives and Times

The materials for the lives of Samuel and Saul are found only in the First Book of Samuel, the First Book of Chronicles, and in some few notices in the New Testament. The ancient monuments afford no help, except in so far as they have tended to settle the chronology of the Exodus and the reign of Solomon, and consequently of events reckoned from those eras. Of late years such a mass of illustrative matter, historical, geographical, and connected with manners and customs, has been collected, that the writer's task is greatly facilitated, and he has rather to select and employ existing materials than to busy himself with independent investigation. I have largely availed myself of such aids, and gladly own my obligations to the commentaries of Bishop Ellicott, Mr. Kirkpatrick, and especially of Dean Payne Smith in "The Pulpit Commentary." I have also found some aid in three recent continental publications, viz., the commentary of Clair in "La Sainte Bible avec Commentaires," of Hummelauer in "Cursus Scriptur sacr," and of Klostermann in "Kurzgefasster Kommentar."

As the Life of David forms a separate number of this series of "Men of the Bible," I have touched but lightly on some particulars wherein he and Saul are concerned. The reader will find a fuller account in "David: his Life and Times."
