*** Editor's note *** The time span for the material in 1 Samuel is closer to 100 years. In the podcast 150 years was used as a time marker. That would entail both 1 and 2 Samuel. Woopsi... LoL ... but we caught it before you did... LoL.
Stories have power. They captivate our imagination, preserve our history, and shape our understanding in ways nothing else can. In this deep dive into the book of 1 Samuel, we explore the rich tapestry of narratives that chronicle Israel's pivotal transition from being governed by prophets and judges to being ruled by kings.
What prompted Israel to demand a king "like the other nations"? And how did God use this seemingly misguided desire to unfold His perfect plan through history? The establishment of David's kingdom wasn't just a historical footnote—it laid the groundwork for Jesus Christ, the ultimate King who will one day return to rule on David's throne and bring an end to all evil. We're witnessing the restoration of the tabernacle of David in our time, with God's presence and power manifesting on earth in unprecedented ways as we approach Christ's return.
We also tackle questions about biblical authorship, exploring how 1 Samuel—which spans approximately 100 years—came together through a divinely guided process involving eyewitness accounts, meticulous oral tradition, various written sources, and the Holy Spirit's inspiration. Through personal stories about Finnish storytelling traditions, we see how ancient cultures preserved their histories with remarkable accuracy before committing them to writing. The collaborative nature of Scripture's development doesn't diminish its authority—rather, it demonstrates God's sovereign hand working through human processes to reveal Jesus, the scarlet thread woven throughout all biblical narrative.
Whether you're a longtime Bible reader or just beginning to explore Scripture, this episode will deepen your appreciation for how God preserves His truth and reveals His Son through stories that have endured for millennia.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I think one of the main reasons why I love reading
the book of 1 Samuel is becauseit contains so many stories, and
I love stories.
I love learning from storiesand the art of storytelling man.
(00:23):
I'm saying that for real.
It is a real enjoyable thing tolisten to someone who's a good
storyteller.
It's captivating because itpulls on our imagination in a
way that almost nothing else can.
So the book of 1 Samuel haswithin it many stories, and one
(00:50):
of the chief stories is how anation went from having a
rulership of prophets and judgesto a nation that was ruled by a
king.
They didn't want to have theirlives typified by being a nation
(01:17):
that was ruled by prophets andjudges, because none of the
other nations were like that.
They wanted to be like all theother nations, and so they
demanded.
Israel demanded that they wouldhave a king, and so God gave
(01:38):
them what they desired desiredand he actually used their
desires to mold thingsthroughout history to bring
about the birth of the Savior ofthe world, the Messiah Jesus,
(01:59):
god's anointed one, thedeliverer, my savior, my Lord,
king of kings and Lord of lords.
He came through a lineage thatinvolved a king.
That king's time of rule andreign.
(02:24):
God established something inIsrael that we are beginning to
see unfold in a very profoundway today.
It involves the tabernacle ofDavid.
It involves all the things thattook place during the time in
which David was king, and it wassaid of his kingdom that there
(02:46):
would be someone that would ruleforever as king, and that,
ultimately, is Jesus.
And we are living in a day andan hour right now, in which the
soon return of Jesus is in aplace in history that we've
(03:14):
never been before, and I know wecould say that I mean, of
course, we haven't.
It's never been this day, thistime previously, so we've never
been here before, but there havenever been times that are equal
to this before, and we're justgetting a real taste of it now,
(03:38):
and it's going to increase.
It's going to continue toincrease, and that increase is
going to continue to increase,and that increase is going to
involve the manifestation ofGod's presence.
His power, his kingdom is goingto be displayed on planet Earth
, leading up to the return ofJesus, like we've never seen
(04:00):
before.
And so this king is going toreturn and he's going to rule on
the very throne of David, andhis rulership is going to bring
an end to all evil.
Eventually, hallelujah.
(04:22):
And then time will be no more,which is a profound thought.
The realm of time and spacewill be no more, and eternity
will be the measurement of allthings, of all things.
(04:45):
And we will be in that state,with God and with one another,
in an environment of love thatit's been written, that our eyes
haven't seen, our ears haven'teven heard of the things that
God has in store for those of uswho love him, who are called by
(05:08):
his name, those of us who areborn again of his spirit, are
going to experience something soprofound, so radical, so
dynamic that words escape us,just like time and space will be
no more.
Well, our words can't reachwhat's in store for us, but we
(05:35):
have some living to do right now, and we're given a call to
occupy until he comes.
In fact, we're to continue tobe taking dominion on planet
Earth and see the kingdom of Godadvance.
And so what we're doing in ourreview of 1 Samuel is we're
(05:56):
taking a look at some of thesestories, man, because they have
within them this scarlet threadthat speaks of Jesus.
We find Jesus in all thesestories and we're going to
unfold that, but before we do,it's good to have a little bit
of background.
(06:17):
Concerning the book of 1 Samuel,like I said, I love it because
it's got stories and when Ifirst read it I had the
assumption that, well, it says 1Samuel.
Like I said, I love it becauseit's got stories and when I
first read it I had theassumption that, well, it says 1
Samuel.
That means that Samuel wrote it.
It's got his name on it.
He wrote it.
Well, let's take a look alittle bit.
We said we're going to do alittle bit of a deeper dive.
(06:40):
Well, let's take a moment anddive into just the preliminaries
.
Concerning the book of 1 Samuel,I asked a question recently.
I said how could the writer ofthe book known as 1 Samuel have
had the knowledge to write aboutevents that spanned at least
(07:03):
150 years?
Right Now, it takes only abouttwo hours two and a half hours
give or take to read 1 Samuelout loud.
If you were to take the book of1 Samuel and read it out loud,
it'd take you about two and ahalf hours and that's not all
that long.
But it spans 150 years and whenyou read it it doesn't seem
(07:31):
like it.
It seems like, oh yeah, acouple of years here, a couple
of years there, up 150 years oftime.
And so the prophet Samuel, thebook's namesake, right 1 Samuel,
(07:52):
could not have written theentire book alone because
no-transcript Huh, his death isrecorded in the book of 1 Samuel
(08:15):
.
So if he died, how could hewrite about things beyond his
death?
Right, the name of the book, 1Samuel, so that we can kind of
(08:35):
dispel any arguments that mightarise that criticize us for
being gullible, right orignorant about how we handle the
scriptures.
You know, like people say well,if Samuel, it's written Samuel
on the book, it means thatSamuel must have written it.
Well, it's kind of like saying,if Moses, jesus and Paul used
(09:00):
the King James Version, thenit's good enough for me, even
though the first version of theKing James Bible wasn't
available until the year 1611 AD, right?
So just because the name Samuelis on the book doesn't mean
(09:21):
that he wrote it.
While the book is attributed orin essence dedicated in honor
of Samuel the prophet, it'scrucial to understand that
Samuel alone could not havewritten the entire book.
So of course, we're notgullible and we're not ignorant.
(09:44):
We live in the that.
There are other sources,resources that go into the
development of this book, butjust hold on a second, just bear
(10:05):
with me.
So here's a breakdown of how weperceive the information could
have been acquired, and I saycould have been One direct
observation and firsthandaccount.
It's very likely that Samuelhimself, being a prophet and a
(10:28):
judge during the early periodcovered in the book, recorded at
least or was responsible foroverseeing the writing of some
of the material.
He either recorded it or was atleast responsible for
(10:49):
overseeing the writing of someof the material, responsible for
overseeing the writing of someof the material.
Similarly, other individuals,such as Nathan and Gad, who
served as prophets duringDavid's reign as king, likely
contributed to the historicalrecord.
So there were other men andother sources and resources that
(11:15):
could have come into thedevelopment of this book that we
have known as 1 Samuel Oraltradition and observation.
This is important tradition andobservation.
This is important.
In ancient cultures and as wellas some modern ones, oral
(11:40):
tradition was a powerful meansof preserving and transmitting
historical accounts and stories.
The events and conservation ofimportant deeds, of important
figures like Samuel, saul andDavid would have been passed
down through generations beforewritten material was available.
(12:02):
Before even writing them down,they were passed on in oral
tradition.
Thus storytelling, the abilityto tell good stories, that was
really true in ancient culturesBefore books were readily
available, even before paper wasreadily available.
The ability to convey thingsorally, to tell stories, was a
(12:29):
very important part of theculture and preserving the
culture.
But it wasn't just limited, andisn't just limited, to ancient
times.
I was born in 1959.
And so I'm 66 years old, andeven during my lifetime, oral
(12:51):
tradition played a significantpart of my upbringing.
I was born in northernMinnesota where there was a
large population of FinnishAmericans, people that had come
from Finland to America andestablished their homestead,
(13:17):
their lifestyles, here inAmerica and had children, and
their children had children, andI am a byproduct of my
grandparents immigrating fromFinland to America, and so my
(13:39):
ancestry is Finnish, and part ofthe Finnish culture is a
storytelling culture, and Iremember growing up as a kid
being fascinated by the storiesthat were told by some of these
old timers.
They'd tell stories abouthunting and I could wait to hear
the stories.
But the funny thing, they wouldtell the story but they'd tell
(14:00):
them about hunting and I couldwait to hear the stories.
But funny thing, they wouldtell the story, but they'd tell
them over and over again.
But they wouldn't seem to gettired of telling them.
They loved to tell them and,interestingly enough, also when
they told them the first time Iheard it, I said wow, that was
(14:21):
really great.
Second time I heard it it wasthe same story.
They really didn't veer too farfrom what was being shared the
first time.
There might be a little bit ofdifferent color commentary, but
basically it was the same story.
So their recollection of thingswas incredible.
Recollection of things wasincredible and part of it was
due to the fact that they didn'thave the development of media
(14:47):
radio, television.
Some of these things thatoccupy our attention didn't have
any part of their lives.
It wasn't part of their lives.
It didn't have any play in it.
Their lives, it wasn't part oftheir lives, it didn't have any
play in it.
And so they used theirimaginations and their memories
were just like steel traps, man.
(15:07):
They were just like they wouldlock in on things and hold them,
and the ability to conveythings through oral tradition
was very, very important becausethey wanted to also carry on
the culture, the tradition.
They wanted me to know what itwas like to be Finnish
Interesting.
So the same took place inancient cultures.
(15:31):
They would pass things alongthrough oral tradition.
So another factor that couldhave come into play concerning
the writing of 1 Samuel isutilizing every credible written
source.
The writers of the book of 1Samuel likely had access and
(15:56):
incorporated various documentsfrom that period, such as
official registers or chronicleslike the Chronicles of Samuel,
the Chronicles of Nathan theprophet, and the Chronicles of
Gad the seer, as mentioned inthe book of 1 Chronicles 28-29.
(16:18):
So there were outside sources,credible outside sources and
resources, written resourcesthat were used in the
compilation of 1 Samuel and,last but not least, divine
(16:38):
inspiration and guidance.
From a theological perspective,the authors are believed to
have been guided by the HolySpirit in their selection,
interpretation and presentationof the historical events that
we're talking about.
This suggests that, beyondhuman record-keeping, a divine
(17:10):
element played a role in theaccuracy and purpose of the
narrative.
Let me say that again.
Let me say that again, thissuggests that, beyond human
record-keeping, a divine elementplayed a role in the accuracy
(17:31):
and purpose of the narrative,and I would say that divine
element is none other than God,the Spirit.
Holy Spirit breathed upon thewriters and gave them
inspiration as to how to goabout putting these things
together and that is absolutelythe belief and conviction we
(17:58):
hold dear and stand strong uponhere at Life Around the Fire is
that divine inspiration andguidance factored into the
writing of the book of 1 Samuel.
Therefore, the book of 1 Samuelis a God-breathed result of a
(18:20):
collaborative process involvingeyewitness accounts, oral
traditions and existing sources,under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit.
The final form of the text is acompiled narrative that
contains the redemptive threatof Jesus as well as its
(18:41):
reflection upon the history ofIsrael during that significant
period in time.
God-breed, guided by the HolySpirit, put together from a
variety of these sources.
That's where we're coming fromwhen we look at the book of
these sources.
That's where we're coming fromwhen we look at the book of 1
(19:05):
Samuel, and so I would inviteyou to take these considerations
and weigh them out, analyzethem and come to your own
conclusion.
But that's where we're at rightnow.
But that's where we're at rightnow, and that's where we're
going to stay, and that's howwe're going to present things
(19:27):
when we look deeper into thebook of 1 Samuel.
But for now, let's pray.
Father, I thank you, god, wethank you for who you are and we
love you, we honor you and wevalue your word.
(19:50):
You've given us something thatis so powerful and we want to
treat it properly.
We want to rightly divide theword of truth because you, lord,
(20:12):
you're worth that.
You're worth us doing that withyour word.
So I think you would guide us,holy Spirit, direct us, impart
to us truth that you want to sayand that you'd reveal Jesus
(20:35):
both to us and through us as wegrow in him, individually and
collectively, and we pray thesethings, standing here in the
very name of Jesus, saying amen,amen, amen, amen.
All right, folks, we love youand if you have any thoughts,

Adios amigos.
I think one of the main reasons why I love reading
the book of 1 Samuel is becauseit contains so many stories, and
I love stories.

(05:08):
his name, those of us who areborn again of his spirit, are
going to experience something soprofound, so radical, so

That's where we're coming fromwhen we look at the book of 1
(19:05):
Samuel, and so I would inviteyou to take these considerations
and weigh them out, analyzethem and come to your own
conclusion.
But that's where we're at rightnow.
But that's where we're at rightnow, and that's where we're
going to stay, and that's howwe're going to present things
(19:27):
when we look deeper into thebook of 1 Samuel.
But for now, let's pray.
Father, I thank you, god, wethank you for who you are and we
love you, we honor you and wevalue your word.
(19:50):
You've given us something thatis so powerful and we want to
treat it properly.
We want to rightly divide theword of truth because you, lord,
(20:12):
you're worth that.
You're worth us doing that withyour word.
So I think you would guide us,holy Spirit, direct us, impart
to us truth that you want to sayand that you'd reveal Jesus
(20:35):
both to us and through us as wegrow in him, individually and
collectively, and we pray thesethings, standing here in the
very name of Jesus, saying amen,amen, amen, amen.
All right, folks, we love youand if you have any thoughts,
