1 Samuel is an Old Testament book that provides an increased
current of truth leading toward the Messiah. It opens with the
people of Israel experiencing great spiritual failure: idolatry was
rampant (7:3-4), the judges were perverting justice (8:2-3), the
priesthood was corrupt (2:12-26) and "worthless" in the eyes of the
Lord, and the surrounding nations were constantly harassing Israel.
The cumulative affects of neglecting God and His Word are evident
in the plight of Israel as a godly remnant struggled to maintain
their hope in God's Promise. However, God's sovereign purpose and
faithfulness would prevail: "For the Lord will not abandon His
people on account of His great name, because the Lord has been
pleased to make you a people for Himself." (12:22). We are
introduced to Hannah who begged God to provide to her a son who
would serve God throughout his life - at the will of God. In God's
sovereign purpose, God gave her that son - Samuel - who would serve
faithfully as a voice of righteousness. God's faithfulness to
Israel would be personified in Samuel, His representative, who
would as a result know the rejection of the people in rebellion
against God. Instead, the people of Israel desired to have human
authority exercised through a king - like the nations that
surrounded them. The first king, Saul, represented what the best of
human leadership and authority can provide. Without God man is lost
in sin and spiritual blindness. God mercifully took the kingdom
from Saul and gave it to a "man after God's own heart" - David.
This is the point of God's sovereign faithfulness through which the
greater Son of David, the Messiah would ultimately come. These
exegetical outlines are designed to provide insights into the
biblical text by the serious student who desires devotional
stimulation. Each chapter handles a thought unit in the text and
opens it up for the common believer to gain rich insight. These
outlines will enable those who are studying the Scriptures to grow
in grace and in a love for the Lord.
