NASB | 1 Samuel 8:21 Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the LORD'S hearing. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 8:21 Samuel had heard all the words of the people and repeated them to the LORD. |
Bible Question:
Why did Samuel ask the Lord a second time? Do we ask the Lord a second time when He has decided ... and the answer is not one we wanted? |
Bible Answer: Yes, why did he ask a second time? Wasn't once enough? Samuel just finished giving Israel a warning that they recklessly failed to heed! He probably couldn't believe what he was hearing from "God's chosen people".. They continued in their failure to heed this warning (v. 19), so Samuel asked the Lord a second time for His approval (despite the warning), and the Lord granted their request, knowing in full in His foreknowledge what the consequences would be later on.. --Nolan |
