1 | Samuel or Saul? | OT general | zach† | 36600 | ||
In 1 Sam. 15:35 it says; And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul. Is this verse saying that Saul died before Samuel? From reading 1 Sam. 28:7-19 I am led to believe that Samuel died before Saul, not after. So who died before who? Grace be multiplied unto thee zach† |

2 | Samuel or Saul? | OT general | Shelly | 36605 | ||
The NIV Bible says: 1 Samuel 15:35 Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the LORD was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel. It's amazing how a different order of words can be misinterpreted. |

3 | Samuel or Saul? | OT general | zach† | 36637 | ||
Shelly; Thank you. The NIV makes more sense for this verse than the KJV I also looked the verse up in the New Living Translation (which is merely a paraphrase). In the NLT this is how it is worded; Samuel never went to meet with Saul again, but he mourned constantly for him. Thanks again Shelly Grace be multiplied unto thee. zach† |
