1 | In 1Sam 11:12, who were the people? | 1 Sam 11:12 | Biffbt | 118818 | ||
Who are the people referenced in 1 Sam 11:12? Are they the same "worthless men" from 1 Samuel 10:27? If so, doesn't it seem that Saul did in fact know of their discontent? (according to the next verse)? | ||||||

Hi Biffbt, One of the reference verses in my Study Bible sent me to 2 Samuel 19:22. In reflection on these verses I believe that the reason that Saul did not put to death those "worthless men" was because he was confident in his being the king set over them. Similarly David was confident in the king being like the "angel of God" and able to do what was good. 2 Samuel 19:22, "David then said, "What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?" 1) I don't know the reason why you are interested in knowing who the worthless men are. But I will share with you a couple of things that were given to me in looking at your verses. 2) 1 Samuel 10:27, NKJ, "But some rebels [NASB, worthless men] said, "How can this man deliver us?" In comparing that verse with 11:12f one can see that not a man should be put to death that day because the Lord had accomplished deliverance. There is that contrast between "How can this one (Saul) deliver us?" and the One, "for today the Lord has accomplished deliverance in Israel." There is the difference between the king and the true King. From the heart, Ray |

Hi, I had a couple of things I wanted to share and I had to give up the computer to my daughter who is in her last week of college. :)) One of the references in my Study Bible for 1 Samuel 10:27 is 2 Chron 17:5. Here the Lord established the kingdom into the control of Jehoshaphat, and all Judah brought tribute to him. This gives me the idea that a gift was to be expected and these worthless men, these rebels, did not bring a present to Saul. We can contrast this also with the occasion in Matthew's gospel where the Ruler came forth who would shepherd His people. Matthew 2:10, "And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary and His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh." Here is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we, too, see His star and have come to worship Him. We worship Him because He is able to deliver us, to shepherd us, and to reign over us. From the heart, Ray |
