Tuesday 5 December

1 Samuel 12:1-12
Why does Samuel ask if he has ever wronged or cheated anyone? What evidence is he going to present to the people? What does he tell them that the Lord has done for them? What sin did Israel commit during this period?

12:13-25
What conditions does the Lord give in order for Israel to continue to be blessed? What sign does the Lord give to the people? What is this a sign of? What do the people want Samuel to do for them? How does he reassure them? What will happen if Israel and the king do not meet God's expectations?

13:1
How old is Saul? How long does he reign?

13:2-15
Who are the main enemies of Saul and Israel at this time? How are hostilities reopened? What do the Israelites do when the Philistines show up? What does Saul do when Samuel is late? Why? How does Samuel react to this development? What will happen now?

13:16-22
Why do the Hebrews have so few weapons to use in battle against the Philistines?
