Excerpt from A Critical and Exegetical Commentary: On the Books of Samuel In accordance with what has just been said, the subject-matter divides itself readily under the three heads: Samuel, Saul, and David. But as the three are contemporaneous for some years, the sections overlap, and the transition period of Saul falls within the time allotted to Samuel on the one hand or to David on the other. Such seems to have been the mind of the author (or final redactor) of the Books, to whom Saul was of minor importance. This is sufficiently indicated by the fact that Samuel is the real authority after Saul is anointed, and that so soon as Saul is rejected David is anointed. To the theocratic view, the history belongs to Samuel and to David, and its two sections are 1 S. 1-15, the life of Samuel, and 1 S. 16-2 S. 24, the life of 'david. The life of David, however, consists of two well-marked sections, the first, the period of struggle, is described in 1 S. 16-2 S. 1, the second, his reign over Israel, occupies 2 S. 2 - 24.
