Samuel Calls Saul as King. (1 Samuel 9: 1-25)

What this episode covers:

· How 1 Samuel bridges the eras of the Judges and the Kings

· The key literary structure built around Samuel, Saul, and David

· Why Samuel is the “hinge” of Israel’s history — last judge, first prophet

· How Israel’s demand for a king reveals the tension between human desire and divine will

· The spiritual themes of leadership, calling, obedience, and kingdom identity

· What 1 Samuel teaches us about God’s way of ruling through imperfect people

Key takeaway:

Before Israel had a king, they had a calling. God’s kingdom is never built on human strength, but on His covenant faithfulness — then and now.
