    • Summary:"Antony F. Campbell unpacks the wealth of insight inherent in 2 Samuel by paying close attention to the literary structure of the book.
      Following a comprehensive introduction, the commentary carefully analyzes the major sections of 2 Samuel and each passage within them.
      In the process, Campbell reveals the diversity of views that existed in Israel's traditions, and he highlights the primacy of theology over history in Israel's thinking."--Jacket.
