Background to King Saul’s reign

BACKGROUND TO KING SAUL’S REIGN
  • When the elders of Israel went to Prophet Samuel and asked him to appoint for them a king, Samuel prayed to God seeking his guidance.
  • God told him to obey the voice of the people.
  • He sent him to a man called Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin.
  • Samuel was to anoint him to become the King over Israel.
  • Samuel poured oil on Saul’s head from a flask he had with him. (1 Sam 10:1)
  • Therefore Saul became the first King of Israel.
  • Samuel made it clear to the Israelites that they still remained God’s people.
  • An Israelite King would still remain the servant of God.  The king was to rule God’s people according to the covenant way of life.
  • He explained to the people the rights and duties of the king.  He wrote them in a book and laid it before the Lord,(1 Sam 12:14 – 15.
  • The initial appointment of Saul as King of Israel was in accordance to God’s will.  He approved of Saul’s leadership in the following ways:
    1. Saul was Yahweh’s own choice. (1 Sam 9:16; 10:24).
    2. Saul received God’s spirit, which gave him power to act as God’s appointee. (1 Sam 10:10)
    3. Through Yahweh’s help, soul fought against all Israel’s enemies everywhere and won e.g.
  • Fought against the Ammonites (1 Sam 11:1).
  • Led a successful war against the Philistines, thus saving Israel from their enemy (1 Sam 14:47).
  • Defeated the Amalekites (1 Sam 15).

​The call of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-9)

​Genesis 12:1-9 New International Version (NIV)
The Call of Abram
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
     and I will bless you;
     I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
     and whoever curses you I will curse;
     and all peoples on earth
     will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.
THE CALL OF ABRAHAM (GEN. 12:1-9)

the call of abraham in summary

  • God called Abraham in Haran after the death of his father.
  • He commanded Abraham who was 75 years old then to leave his family to an unknown land.

  2. Many blessings.
  3. A great name.
  4. A source of blessings.
