I. & II. SAMUEL
[Expositions upon these books being few, the student
should consult works on Scripture characters, and also comments on the Old
Testament as a whole.]
274. KEIL (C. F., D.D.) and DELITZSCH (F., D.D.) The Books of Samuel.
Translated from the German by the Rev. James Martin, B.A. 8vo. 10/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1872.
Like most of Clark's series, Keil's works are valuable helps
towards, obtaining the meaning of the text but for spiritual reflections
and fruitful hints we must look elsewhere.

The work continues the Hexapla to
which we have referred in Nos. 142 and 177. It is unusually brief for the
age of its compostition, and full of variety. Under every verse, and often
clause of a verse, the
learned author proposes a question, and proceeds to answer it. These are
such as the following:—"What a daughter of Belial is?"
"Whether any may be said to sin with the will of
God?" "What
doors of the house of Jehovah Samuel
opened?" "What
is to be thought of Eli's state
before God?"
277. GUILD (WILLIAM, D.D. 1586—1657). The Throne of David.
An Exposition of the 2nd Samuel, wherein is set clown the Pattern of a
Pious and Prudent Prince. Oxf., 1659. 11/-
The MSS. of this rare book was sent to
Dr. John Owen by the widow of the author, with a letter of her
own, informing him that her dying husband desired it to be so forwarded. Dr. Owen says, that he found the
treatise "written with perspicuity and clearness, handling a subject
of great and delightful variety, with a choice mixture of spiritual, moral,
and political observations, tempered by a good and sound judgment unto
common capacities." We do not presume to criticize where Owen commends, but we should not
have originated such a commendation.
