Discovery Box| (1.00) | 1Sa 6:15 |
| The Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest that was with it, which contained the gold objects. They placed them near the big stone. At that time the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 7:3 |
| Samuel said to all the people of Israel, “If you are really turning to the Lord with all your hearts, remove from among you the foreign gods and the images of Ashtoreth. 1 Give your hearts to the Lord and serve only him. Then he will deliver you 2 from the hand of the Philistines.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 7:4 |
| So the Israelites 1 removed the Baals and images of Ashtoreth. They served only the Lord. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:8 |
| Just as they have done 1 from the day that I brought them up from Egypt until this very day, they have rejected me and have served other gods. This is what they are also doing to you. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:10 |
| So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:12 |
| He will appoint for himself leaders of thousands and leaders of fifties, 1 as well as those who plow his ground, reap his harvest, and make his weapons of war and his chariot equipment. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:13 |
| He will take your daughters to be ointment makers, cooks, and bakers. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:16 |
| He will take your male and female servants, as well as your best cattle and your donkeys, and assign them for his own use. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 8:21 |
| So Samuel listened to everything the people said and then reported it to the Lord. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:5 |
| When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come on, let’s head back before my father quits worrying about the donkeys and becomes anxious about us!” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:9 |
| (Now it used to be in Israel that whenever someone went to inquire of God he would say, “Come on, let’s go to the seer.” For today’s prophet used to be called a seer.) |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:10 |
| So Saul said to his servant, “That’s a good idea! 1 Come on. Let’s go.” So they went to the town where the man of God was. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:15 |
| Now the day before Saul arrived, the Lord had told 1 Samuel: |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:17 |
| When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said, 1 “Here is the man that I told you about! He will rule over my people.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:20 |
| Don’t be concerned 1 about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?” 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:21 |
| Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of Israel’s tribes, and is not my family clan the smallest of all the tribes of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 9:27 |
| While they were going down to the edge of town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” So he did. 1 Samuel then said, 2 “You remain here awhile, so I can inform you of God’s message.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 10:2 |
| When you leave me today, you will find two men near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah on Benjamin’s border. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you have gone looking for have been found. Your father is no longer concerned about the donkeys but has become anxious about you two! 1 He is asking, “What should I do about my son?”’ |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 10:3 |
| “As you continue on from there, you will come to the tall tree of Tabor. At that point three men who are going up to God at Bethel 1 will meet you. One of them will be carrying three young goats, one of them will be carrying three round loaves of bread, and one of them will be carrying a container of wine. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 10:8 |
| You will go down to Gilgal before me. I am going to join you there to offer burnt offerings and to make peace offerings. You should wait for seven days, until I arrive and tell you what to do.” |
