AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 13:14 "But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD has sought out for Himself a man (David) after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him as leader and ruler over His people, because you have not kept (obeyed) what the LORD commanded you." |
Bible Question: Was Saul's kingdom taken from him at this time? Or was it in chapter 15, when he didn't kill and destroy as commanded? |
Bible Answer: I believe it was in the mind of God. Saul had been anointed to be King by Samuel at the direction of the LORD. Samuel called him the LORD's Anointed, 1 Samuel 10:1. Saul's Kingdom was remover from his family line. It would die with him. God's heart was already drawn to David; coosing him to be Saul's succesor. David realized this as he refused to kill Saul when he had him at his mercy. 1 Samuel 24:6 and 1 Samuel 26:11. David even forbade Abishai not to kill Saul: 1 Sam 26:9 But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD'S anointed and be without guilt?" 1 Sam 26:10 David also said, "As the LORD lives, surely the LORD will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down into battle and perish. 1 Sam 26:11 "The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let us go." |
