1 Samuel 10:9 - 12:25
1 SamuelSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg discusses the biblical text of 1 Samuel 10:9 through 12:25. Saul is chosen by God to be the first king of Israel, and despite his initial humility, becomes a multifaceted individual who attempts to kill Samuel for a reason unknown. The Israelites face external threats from the Nahash Ammonite, causing them to understand the importance of fearing God and standing united. Throughout the text, the importance of conducting clean government and repenting from evil motives is emphasized, with the recognition that God will not forsake his people.
