1 SAMUEL
Samuel, Saul, and David are the main characters in this book. It was written sometime around 1000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The mother of Samuel had dedicated him to The Lord and she took him to serve with Eli, the priest, when Samuel was still just a child.

The Philistines defeated Israel and too the Ark of the Covenant with them when they returned to their homeland. The Lord caused a plague to come upon them and after some months they returned the Ark to Israel.

Samuel told the Israelites to turn away from idol worship and when they did, the Philistines were defeated and Samuel served as judge and prophet most of his life.

Because Samuel’s sons did not serve as they should, the people asked Samuel to find them a king. Saul became that king. Trouble with the Philistines continued. Jonathan, Saul’s son, acquitted himself well but Saul became a bad king.

The Lord selected David, son of Jesse, to be the next king and he later killed Goliath, the warrior of the Philistines. David while yet young becomes a favorite of Saul and dear friend of Jonathan.

David marries Saul’s daughter but Saul becomes jealous of David and tries to kill him. Jonathan and David remain close friends and Saul also attempted to kill Jonathan.

In order to escape from Saul, David joins with the Philistines who are again at war with Israel. All of Saul’s sons are killed and Saul
Commits suicide.
