Book 09 - First Samuel

The first book of Samuel follows the life of Samuel, from his miraculous birth through his service to God and his role in anointing Saul and David as kings.

This book bridges the period of the judges with the introduction of kings, detailing the people's request for a king to rule over them, similar to other nations.

The book demonstrates how God works through ordinary events and unexpected people to accomplish His purposes, especially in the lives of the humble and faithful. It contrasts the leadership styles of Saul and David, highlighting the qualities of a true leader and the dangers of pride and self-will.
