the Prophets: Samuel I and II

The first volume of the Rubin Edition ù Joshua/Judges ùprovided the answer.
Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers ù led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman ù the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Samuel and II Samuel in one volume.
