Bible Question: Why was Samuel against the change of judges to a king? 1 Samuel 9-11 |
Bible Answer: The simple answer is that Samuel was feeling rejection. However, God answers Samuel that he is not being rejected, but that they are rejecting God. 6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do." forwwjd |
