Philistines.

29
Q

Is Saul repentant throughout the book of 1 Samuel? Yes or no? Why or why not? Use text references to support your conclusions.

Saul is not repentant throughout the book because though he says he is sorry for the way he behaves to David, his behavior never truly changes and he continues to try to kill David. (26:21)

Q

In 1 Samuel 13.14, Samuel tells Saul that God has chosen a man to replace Saul who is, “after his own heart…” Is David truly a man after God’s own heart? Use text references to defend your answer.

A

David is a man after God’s own heart as he does everything thinking of the Lord and not based on what he or others wants to do. (26:10)

31
Q

How does the story of 1 Samuel fit into the overall Plot of Scripture (God Redeeming All Things)? Use a minimum of 3 text references to support your conclusion.

A

The story of 1 Samuel fits into God redeeming all things because God gives Israel a king after his own heart after Saul proves to be a king of the people. (17:47) God helps the Israelites in battle against the Philistines with David who trusts in him to deliver the Philistines into his hand. (17:26) God rejects Saul as king and anoints David after his own heart to protect and save the Israelites from bad judgement and bring them closer to Him. (15:23)
