Saul's humiliation 32. Samuel kills Agag 34. Samuel and Saul part So Samuel said to him This phrase introduces the prophet Samuel, who serves as God's spokesperson. Samuel's role as a prophet is crucial in the narrative of Israel's transition from a theocracy to a monarchy. His authority is derived from God, and his words carry divine weight. Samuel's relationship with Saul is complex, as he anointed Saul as king but now must deliver God's judgment against him. “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you Persons / Places / Events 1. SamuelA prophet and judge of Israel, Samuel was instrumental in anointing the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David. He served as a mediator between God and the people. 2. Saul The first king of Israel, Saul was chosen by God but later rejected due to his disobedience. His reign marked a transition from the period of judges to the monarchy. 3. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant God of Israel, who is sovereign and just. He is the one who appoints and removes kings according to His will. 4. Israel The nation chosen by God to be His people, through whom He would reveal His law and ultimately bring forth the Messiah. 5. Neighbor Referring to David, who would later be anointed as king. David is described as a man after God's own heart, contrasting with Saul's disobedience. Teaching Points Obedience Over SacrificeGod values obedience to His commands over ritualistic offerings. Saul's failure to fully obey God's command led to his rejection as king. Divine Sovereignty God is sovereign over nations and leaders. He raises up and removes rulers according to His purposes and plans. Heart Matters God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. David was chosen because of his heart for God, contrasting with Saul's disobedience. Consequences of Disobedience Disobedience to God can lead to severe consequences, including the loss of position and blessing. God's Faithfulness Despite human failure, God remains faithful to His promises and purposes, ensuring His plans are fulfilled through those who are faithful to Him.(28) The Lord hath rent the kingdom.--The prophet at once looks upon the garment torn by the passionate vehemence of the king, as an omen for the future, and uses the rent vesture as a symbol, to show Saul that thus had the Lord on that day rent the kingdom from him. A neighbour of thine.--It had not yet been revealed to the seer who was to replace the rebellious king, so he simply refers to the future anointed one quite indefinitely as "a neighbour."
