Dunzo: done, over, finite. Saul finally breaks the last straw for God after his response to his disobedience is: denial, blame, and ignoring it. Thus ends Saul’s not-so-stellar rule as Israel’s first annointed.
God has been described as a tyrant. As a big judge who is ready to rehash every wrong you’ve ever done. For all those who believe this, take a look at this story where His compassion outdoes a foolish oath made by Saul that would have cost his son his life. We’re reading 1 Samuel Chapter 14 on A Bible Break.
After Samuel’s inappropriate offering to God, he decides to try to consult some age-old way of seeking answers from God: the Urim and Thummim. Also, honey makes an unwelcome appearance.
He says he was just trying to obey, but God makes it clear that following His law halfway to make it look like you’re following His law…doesn’t cut it. Listen to Saul trip over his words in this episode of A Bible Break.
Samuel gives a speech to end an era, the era of the Judges, to give way for the first appointed King of Israel, Saul. Join Hannah Benson on A Bible Break for 1 Samuel chapter 12!
You’ve never had a neighbor to rival this one. You tell him to just walk away and he says, ”Watch your back. Sleep with one eye open.” Tune in for Saul taking up his kingly duties again in good style. Might be a bit icky for young kids. 1 Samuel 11.
Ever been out looking for your donkeys and some stranger invites you in for a meat-lovers, kingly feast? Oh. Well, that happens to Saul quite unexpectedly. Tune in for 1 Samuel 9!
Israel decides they don’t want to be ruled by an invisible deity that makes them shake in their boots; a human king seems much more…normal. And doable. But Samuel’s got a few warnings to make them absolutely sure.
What’s the worse thing you can here? “No one in your family is going to reach old age.” Tune in to hear one of the most beautiful prayers contrasted with the scariest of prophecies.
Girl fight? Definitely. But Hannah shows how to fight well. She goes to battle on her knees. Elkinah is cool with the plan…on two conditions. Check out this first ever episode of The Bible Breakdown!
A welcome to podcast with a little bit about the whys (to get used to the language of the Bible with today’s inflection), where we will start reading in the Bible (1 Samuel) and what version to use if you want to follow along (ESV). I guess now you don’t HAVE to listen. But it’s a good intro to who I am as well! I’m your host, Hannah Benson, and I’m SO GLAD you’re here.
