Bible Question:
1 Samuel 8 Reading and trying to understand.. The Israelites key wording that really showed their viewpoint to me was Verse 4-5 Give us a King"look you are old and your sons do not walk in your wys. Now make us a king to judge us like other nations. They were looking for another to wordship not our Lord.They thought that would help them. How wrong they were. Samuel as an old man showed true character,trust in God, and adaptability to new circumstances, Samuel was one of the most Godky men in the Bible, he knew that there is'only one King,he loved our Lord so much. Thanks |
Bible Answer: oneness holy..... The people were rebeling against God. They seen how the other nations were and they were God's people set apart to be different. But wanted to be like the rest of the world. As you have stated, They were wrong. KJV 1 Samuel 8:7-8 7. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. KJV Exodus 16:8 8. And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord. KJV 1 Samuel 8:22 22. And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city. God Bless |
