Summary: "The Expositor's Bible: The First Book of Samuel" by William Garden Blaikie is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work examines the biblical Book of Samuel, focusing on the life of the prophet Samuel as he navigates the transition of Israel from the rule of judges to monarchy. The commentary is likely to appeal to readers interested in religious studies, particularly those seeking in-depth analysis of biblical texts, historical context, and spiritual themes. At the start of the book, Blaikie introduces the prominent figure of Samuel, describing him as a divine pioneer bridging the period of judges and kings in Israel. The text highlights Samuel's significance in maintaining Israel's spiritual integrity while the nation transitions to a monarchy, emphasizing his dedication to God amidst familial and societal challenges. The opening portion also delves into Hannah's deep emotional struggle with infertility, her fervent prayers for a son, and her eventual vow to dedicate the child to God's service if her request were granted. This profound narrative sets the stage for Samuel's birth, his divine calling, and the overarching themes of faith, obedience, and the consequences of spiritual neglect within the early Israelite community.
