“Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:” (1 Samuel 1:1)
The book of 1 Samuel is a complex lesson on how God works. It begins with the birth, youth, and calling; that is Samuel’s job to create a human King for Israel. When I say it is complex, I am not kidding.
The book spends a great deal of time about the first two Kings of Israel, Saul and David. It also contains the Ark Narratives. How the Philistines take the Ark from Israel and demonstrates to Israel their folly.
Samuel is not just a Judge, as they were in the book of Judges, he is also a prophet for God, and a deliverer.
Stay Tuned…
