Description
The Rubin Edition of the Prophets: Samuel I and II [Hardcover]
The Early Prophets - with a commentary anthologized from the Rabbinic writings
You know and use the Stone Edition, which has become the standard English-language Chumash. But what about the rest of the Written Torah, the Prophets and the Writings? Where can we go for a sweeping understanding of the text, as understood by the Sages and the classic commentators presented in a way that makes it both accessible and enjoyable to scholar and layman alike?
The first volume of the Rubin Edition Joshua/Judges provided the answer.
Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers led by: Rabbi Nosson Scherman the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Samuel and II Samuel in one volume.

It not only brings the verses alive, it makes them speak to us: in language, in outlook, in aspiration for spiritual growth.
