Inside the Book of Shmuel

Rabbi Wein examines the roles of five "peripheral" characters in Sefer Shmuel, each of whom had a fateful connection to Shaul Hamelech, Dovid Hamelech, or both. Whether treacherous or peaceful, each of these five men altered the course of history through their interactions with the kings, and an understanding of their deeds gives us insight into the Book of Shmuel as a whole.
