| Question: “Why did the Israelites want a king over them even after they heard all of the awful things that would happen?” Answer: 1 Samuel 8:20: “... so that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight out battles.” They lost their faith in God. They didn’t trust him anymore to do these things, which he had so graciously done for them in the past. Question: “Who was the last judge and who is the first king?” Answer: Samuel is the last judge and Saul is the first king. Question: “Why does the Lord say that he will give the people a king?” Answer: 1 Samuel 9:16: “... for I have seen the suffering of my people, because their outcry has come to me.” The Lord gives the Israelites a king simply because his people were suffering and they cried out to him. This is a great example of the Lord’s faithfulness even when we are unfaithful to him. Also this is a good example of the Lord working through his remedial will. Although he doesn’t want a king, he gives his less than perfect people what they need. Continued... |
