Unlocking the Old Testament Part 20 - 1 & 2 Samuel 1
In this first talk by David Pawson on 1 and 2 Samuel, David gives us an overview so that we know the ‘shape’ of the story and how it develops. The two books really belong together as one, but were later divided because of their length. It covers 150 years of history in the form of narrative and includes only what is important and significant to God. This is prophetic history, named after the prophet who dominates the story. This book is set in the last century and a half of the rise of Israel to peace and prosperity. David shows that Israel had been led successively by patriarchs, prophets, kings then priests, each for 500 years. Samuel was the last of the prophets. King David dominates the stories though Saul was the first king. The stories of the book deal with various interesting relationships. David Pawson says whenever Israel disobeyed God an enemy would come and defeat them and whenever they repented they defeated the enemy and got the land back. A difference between Israel’s first and second kings was that David could honour those who succeeded but Saul was jealous of them. But David’s sin heralded the downward slide of Israel from its peak. .

The story of David is truly inspiring. God turned David from a Shepard to the greatest warrior and king of the Bible.

9:47 - This is a little trivial but what Dr Pawson would’ve meant here is the other wife Peninah, and not Elkanah (who of course was the husband)
I think the reason David stayed at home, written in 1Chronicles David fainted in the battle or was weak. His men told him to stay home and they'll fight for him.

I love to hear adoable voice from God i find it very difficult to hear God's voice
1 Samuel 10:20-25 It looks like God chose Saul, why did DP here say it was democratic? Any idea?

I just started to read the whole Bible, and I just read 1 Samuel. I think it’s pretty clear that God told Samuel that Saul would be the man before Samuel met him. But sometimes verses in other places of Bible give more details about an event. I will bear in mind with my future reading if it would be true with how Saul was chosen.

God always gives you a leader you deserve. So you actually choose your leader in a way. So that’s why we pray for his mercy to our countries so that we get a leader he wants for us. So its not democracy kind of but it is because it also is in away. Did you get?

He was trying to relate it to the practice of our time. People (the mass) agreed and God(the authority) approved.
Just to clarify: nowhere in the Bible does it state that Saul became jealous of his son, Jonathan. The Bible only tells us that Saul became angry/jealous of David, when the women would sing: “Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands” [1 Samuel 18:7-8], for example.
The underliner
The story of Saul reminds me of Henry VIII, who started off a good king, and became increasingly a self-centred tyrant. The turning point may have been when he fell of his horse and got brain damage, perhaps in the frontal cortex.
Samuel were offended for his sake? I, when i read samuel 1:8 he got offended because God was theyr king and they wanted 'visible one' Samuel was old when they asked that for him. They worshipped other gods from time delivered from Egypt as they did same for Samuel. He was angry for God, not for his place on being similair to "other gods"..

David was the 8th not 7th
I thought Abigail was wife not daughter to Nabel?
Ok da
Well David must not have been all that great if his own father didn’t even consider him when Samuel came along

This shows that Jesse (David's father) did not recognise that David was Godly, he was more aware of physical strength and age with his sons.

And there is also some circumstantial evidence that David was perhaps Jesse’s illegitimate son as opposed to the other brothers (they make a point to reference a difference in his features more than once, perhaps he was a red head when he is described as “ruddy” and this was not usual for his lineage and Psalm 51:5 for example has David himself declaring there was something amiss with his conception and we know it’s not normally described so for married couples whose “bed is pure and undefiled”) so this may also account for why he was dismissed out of hand and not included in the official roster of the family’s boys and also why his brothers seemed to despise him.

@@Anne.W.M Samuel's father was from Ephrathite (KJV).Which is a place and not a tribe. The NKJV says Ephramite, which is the tribe and is wrong. Samuel is a levite.
