The comprehensive commentary of Rav Samson Raphael
Hirsch to the Chumash is based on his interpretative method
of precise elucidation of the text and meaning of the words.

Rav Pinchas Wolf (1875-1968) applied this same method
for his commentary to Shemuel, and has brought to light
the timeless words of the Prophet in an original, inspiring
fashion. This English version of the Hirschian commentary
to Sefer Shemuel is written in a modern, clear idiom and will
attract scholar and student alike.

Rav Pinchas Wolf was a talmid of Rav Dovid Tzvi Hoffman of
Berlin and Rav Aviezri Auerbach of Halberstadt and taught in
the Samson Raphael Hirsch Realschule in Frankfurt. In 1900,
he became Rav of the Talmud Torah of Cologne and in 1936
emigrated to Eretz Yisrael, where he became the Rav of Bais
Hakenesses Mekor Chaim in Petach Tikvah.
