Before diving into the MTSM 1 Samuel Commentaries, take a few minutes to watch this excellent animated overview from The Bible Project. It provides a helpful big-picture introduction to 1 Samuel, tracing Israel’s transition from the period of the judges to the monarchy through the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David. The overview also highlights major themes throughout the book, including wholehearted obedience to God, the dangers of trusting human strength and outward appearance, God’s sovereign choice and faithfulness, the rise and fall of leaders, and Israel’s growing need for a faithful King. Watching this overview first will help you better understand the structure, message, and redemptive significance of 1 Samuel as you study the book chapter by chapter.
