Shmuel Alef
1 Samuel
Give us a king
Israel asks for a king. Elohim gives them Saul — tall, impressive, and ultimately faithless. Meanwhile, a shepherd boy named David is anointed in secret. The contrast between human kingship and Elohim's chosen one begins here.
- Elohim looks at the heart, not outward appearance
- David is anointed as king — the line that leads to Yeshua
- Human kingdoms fail, but Elohim's Kingdom endures
- Faithfulness in the wilderness prepares you for the throne
