Although quite pricy, I think these four volumes are a must have!:

For those who can't afford that definitely excellent set, I would recommend Davies (1 and 2), Tsumura (only 1 Samuel done, but is working on 2 Samuel), Woodhouse (also only on 1 Samuel), and Arnold. Baldwin and Brueggemann (use with discernment, but lots of great literary insights) are also helpful.
Get the Ralph Davis commentaries. Others might be useful, but will not be as good.

Yikes! Discernment for sure!!

Puritan Board Professor
That is the first thing I looked at because I didn't have any of his. They arrived today! YES!
His stuff on 1&2 Kings is awesome.
I just decided to buy all of them at once (Joshua - 2 Kings) and his book on preaching OT narrative.
I got to meet him. My Pastor at College Park Baptist Church used his commentaries when doing 1 Samuel. We communicated and developed a correspondence. He ended up coming up to our church. He is a very gracious man of God. I believe my Pastor Kimber Kauffman was preaching through 2nd Samuel when Dale Ralph Davies came up to visit. He was working on his 2 Samuel Commentary when Kimber was going through the book. I believe. It has been a long time ago.
Dale Ralph Davies.
