2 Samuel contains some of the Old Testament’s most powerful and complex stories—from God’s covenant with David to David’s fall and the turmoil of Absalom’s rebellion. In this second volume of his two-part commentary, David Toshio Tsumura brings clarity and depth to these narratives through a fresh translation and detailed study of the Hebrew text.

Tsumura pays close attention to the book’s literary structure and textual challenges, interpreting it with an eye toward its original composition and meaning. The result is a rich, thoughtful resource for anyone seeking to understand the theological weight and narrative artistry of 2 Samuel.
