There had been twelve judges of Israel before Samuel came on the scene. As Samuel aged though, Israel wanted a change. They wanted a king. In 1 Samuel 8:5, it says that Israel said to Samuel, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” To be clear, the people wanted what the other nations had; they perceived it as stability. The problem is that they were not just another nation, they were called by God to be an example of how people should live in a sin cursed world. Nevertheless, the LORD told Samuel not to resist them but to anoint the man who was assigned to be king. Saul was that man. His assignment was serious. As king, he had the responsibility not only to represent the people but to come to God for direction. In 1 Samuel 10, we witness the anointing of Saul. We also begin to see some of his issues.

A Wise Woman;1 Samuel 25-28
God created the woman as a companion and a helper to Adam. In many ways, women are smarter, more sophisticated, and often more perceptive than men.
