The complete (to date) 23 volumes of the acclaimed NICOT series from Eerdmans.  Print value of the set is $1115.

Scholars, pastors, and serious Bible students will welcome the fresh light that this commentary series casts on ancient yet familiar biblical texts. The contributors apply their proven scholarly expertise and wide experience as teachers to illumine our understanding of the Old Testament. As gifted writers, they present the results of the best recent research in an interesting manner.

Each commentary opens with an introduction to the biblical book, looking especially at questions concerning its background, authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology. A select bibliography also points readers to resources for their own study. The author’s own translation from the original Hebrew forms the basis of the commentary proper. Verse-by-verse comments nicely balance in-depth discussions of technical matters — textual criticism, critical problems, and so on — with exposition of the biblical writer’s theology and its implications for the life of faith today.

I've owned the print edition of NICOT for years (updating it as new volumes appeared), and I recently sold it and purchased the Accordance edition as soon as it was available. This series covers much of the OT with the exception of Exodus, Judges, 2nd Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, Esther, Psalms, Lamentations, Daniel, Amos, and Zechariah, which have not yet been published. Each volume in this series presents exegesis of the biblical text with a wealth of footnotes directing the reader to other articles and resources for further study. The perspective of the commentary series is largely evangelical. Generally, multi-author commentary series are a bit uneven and the quality varies from volume to volume, sometimes widely, but in the NICOT series, each volume is well-written and of high quality. NICOT isn't cheap, but it is well worth every penny.
