By: Edward Short© 1.1 Samuel 13: Samuel Rebukes Saul 1). What did King Saul do that upset the Philistines? 2). Vs. 3: What message did Saul want the Israelites to hear? In fact, however, what message was disseminated? 3). What was the name of King Saul’s son? 4). At the beginning of the war, it appeared like which army would win? To what extent did the Israelites fear the Philistines? 5). How long did Saul wait for Samuel at Gilgal? Why? (See 1 Samuel 10:8.) Unfortunately, Saul was in too much of a hurry! What did Saul do before Samuel arrived? What was Samuel’s reaction? How did Saul defend his actions? Note Samuel’s reaction (vs. 13-14): Samuel said to Saul, "You have done f________; you have not kept the c___________ of the LORD your God, which he commanded you. The LORD would have established your k________ over Israel f_______, but now your k_______ will not continue; the LORD has sought out a man a_____ h___ o___ h_____; and the LORD has appointed him to be r_____ over his people, because you have not k____ what the LORD commanded you" (NRSV). 6). Although the Philistines could not destroy the Israelites, they controlled them nonetheless, and did not allow them to become powerful. How did the Philistines keep the Israelites from obtaining weapons, from making swords and spears? What was the charge to sharpen farm implements? 7). One could find weapons only in whose hands? Why do you think this was the case? 2.1 Samuel 14: Jonathan Attacks the Philistines 1). First, please read 1 Samuel 14. What is your impression of Jonathan? 2). Vs. 1-14: How did Jonathan determine whether to attack the Philistines or not? 3). Explain how Jonathan attacked the Philistines. 4). Vs. 6: Memorize what Jonathan said: “…it may be that the LORD will act for us; for nothing can hinder the LORD from s______ by m_____ or by f___” (NRSV). 5). Vs. 15: “There was a p_____ in the camp, in the f_____, and among all the p_____; the garrison and even the raiders t________; the earth quaked; and it became a very great p_____” (NRSV). [In addition to the Union Version, the New Chinese Translation is also given.] 6). What did King Saul want to know? Saul realized that who was absent? 7). Vs. 18: For what item did Saul ask? (Note that the NRSV footnote indicates that the Greek translation of the Old Testament says “ephod” instead of ark.) What do you think was Saul’s motive? 8). Vs. 20-23: How did God enable the Israelites to prevail? 9). Vs. 24: King Saul gave the troops a very unwise order; what was it? 10). Who disobeyed Saul’s’ order and how did he do it? 11). After learning that he had disobeyed his father’s command, Jonathan said, “My father has t________ the land” (NRSV). [The New Chinese Translation is also given.] {We assume that “the land” refers to the nation of Israel.) 12). Vs. 31-35: Why was the troop’s eating of food not considered disobedience to the king’s order? 13). The troops were not without fault, however. Whose command did they disobey? What command did they disobey? (See Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:11; 19:26; Deuteronomy 12:16; Ezekiel 33:25; Acts 15:20.) 14). Vs. 33-34: How did King Saul correct this problem? Did Saul handle this problem in an admirable way? (From this we know that Saul did know how to behave correctly.) 15). What did Saul do for the Lord God for the first time? 16).
