Samuel Rolles Driver (1846-1914) was a leading biblical scholar in his time. He wrote numerous commentaries, including on Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, 1(https://archive.org/details/criticalexegetic00drivuoft/mode/2up), Samuel, Jeremiah, Joel and Amos, Nahum through Malachi, Job, and Daniel.

His works are extremely high-quality, though now of course somewhat outdated, but have the advantage of being some of the finest highly detailed commentaries currently available on the legally uncontroversial parts of the internet, due to their being old enough not to fall under modern copyright law.

When I refer to Driver, unless I specify otherwise I am referring to Samuel Rolles Driver, one of the big names in biblical studies about a century ago. If I don’t give you the name of the particular book by Driver that I’m referring to, you should be able to work it out by looking up whatever book of the Bible I’m commenting on here.

A while back, when experimenting with Markdown, I took a stab at producing the first several pages of what, if completed, would be an internet edition of Driver's commentary on Samuel. I've since moved on to other projects, but leave the fragment here for anyone who might find the idea interesting.
