Events
The life of Samuel (1 Sam 1:9-13:15; 15:1-16:13; 25:1)
Samuel is lent to the Lord as long as he lives (1 Sam 1:1-2:36)
Hannah, the barren wife of Elkanah, vows that if the Lord gives her a son, she will give him to the Lord as a Nazarite for life. The Lord remembers Hannah and gives her Samuel (1 Sam 1:1-20)
After Samuel is weaned, Hannah takes Samuel with her to the house of the Lord at Shiloh to fulfill her vow. Hannah prays to exult in the Lord. Elkanah returns home, and the boy Samuel ministers to the Lord in the presence of Eli, the priest (1 Sam 1:21-2:11)
Eli’s two sons do not know the Lord and treat the offering of the Lord with contempt (1 Sam 2:12-17)
Samuel ministers before the Lord, clothed with a linen ephod. His mother makes a little robe to give him each year during the yearly sacrifice. Eli blesses Elkanah and his wife with more children. The Lord visits Hannah and gives her three more sons and two daughters. Samuel grows in the presence of the Lord (1 Sam 2:18-21)
When Eli is very old, he keeps hearing about the evil dealings of his sons. He asks them why they do such things, but they do not listen. It is the will of the Lord to put them to death (1 Sam 2:22-25)
Samuel continues to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with man (1 Sam 2:26)
A man of God tells Eli a message from the Lord. The Lord asks Eli that if He has chosen Eli’s house as priests, why does Eli scorn His sacrifices by honoring his sons above the Lord? All of Eli’s descendants will die by the sword, and both of his sons will die on the same day. The Lord will raise up for Himself a faithful priest who will do according to what is in His heart and mind. The Lord will build for him a sure house forever, and Eli’s descendants will beg him for bread (1 Sam 2:27-36)
Samuel is called by the Lord (1 Sam 3:1-18)
As Samuel and Eli are lying down in the temple, the Lord calls Samuel. Samuel responds, “Here I am!” He runs to Eli three times, thinking that Eli had called him. By the third time, Eli perceives that the Lord is calling the boy. Eli instructs him what to say the next time the Lord calls (1 Sam 3:2-9)
The Lord comes, stands, and calls to Samuel as before. Samuel responds in the way Eli instructed. The Lord tells him that He will fulfill all the punishments that He spoke against Eli, and that the iniquity of Eli’s house will not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever (1 Sam 3:10-14)
Samuel lies down until morning and opens the doors of the temple. Samuel is afraid to tell the vision to Eli. Eli commands Samuel to tell him everything. When Samuel does so, Eli responds, “It is the Lord. Let Him do what seems good to Him.” (1 Sam 3:15-18)
Samuel as a judge (1 Sam 3:19-7:17)
As Samuel grows, the Lord is with him and lets none of his words fall to the ground. All Israel knows that Samuel is established as a prophet of the Lord. The Lord appears again at Shiloh to Samuel by His word (1 Sam 3:19-21)
Israel goes out to battle the Philistines and is defeated. The elders of Israel suggest bringing the ark of the covenant of the Lord to the battle, that it may save them. Thirty thousand foot soldiers are slaughtered, the ark is captured, and the two sons of Eli die (1 Sam 4:1-11)
Eli hears the news of the great defeat, his sons’ death, and the capture of the ark. Eli falls over backward, breaks his neck, and dies. His daughter-in-law also hears the news, gives birth to a son, and dies, bemoaning that the glory has departed from Israel (1 Sam 4:12-22)
The ark is brought into Philistine territory for seven months. The hand of the Lord is heavy against them and against their idols, regardless of where it is sent. The Philistines send back the ark of God with a guilt offering of five golden tumors and five golden mice, in efforts to lighten the Lord’s hand from them. The Israelites rejoice to see the ark and offer sacrifices to the Lord at Beth-shemesh (1 Sam 5:1-6:18)
The Lord strikes seventy of the men at Beth-shemesh for looking on the ark, and the people mourn. They send for men of Kiriath-jearim, who bring the ark to the house of Abinadab. Eleazar, Abinadab’s son, takes charge of the ark. All the house of Israel laments after the Lord for the twenty-some years it is at Kiriath-jearim (1 Sam 6:19-7:2).
Samuel tells all the house of Israel that if they are returning to the Lord with all their hearts, they must put away their idols so that He will deliver them from the Philistines. The people obey (1 Sam 7:3-4)
All Israel gathers at Mizpah for Samuel to pray for them. They draw out water and pour it before the Lord. They fast and confess their sins (1 Sam 7:5-6)
The Philistines purposely gather against the Israelites while they are at Mizpah. The Israelites are afraid, so Samuel offers a burnt offering and cries out to the Lord. The Lord throws the Philistines into confusion with mighty thunderings so that they are defeated before Israel (1 Sam 7:7-11)
Samuel sets up a stone and calls it Ebenezer, saying, “Till now the Lord has helped us” (1 Sam 7:12)
The Philistines are subdued all the days of Samuel. The cities and territories are restored to Israel. Israel is also at peace with the Amorites (1 Sam 7:13-14)
Samuel judges Israel in Bethel, Gilgal, Mizpah, and Ramah all of the days of his life (1 Sam 7:15-17)
Samuel anoints Saul as king (1 Sam 8:1-11:15)
Israelites demand a king because Samuel’s sons take bribes and pervert justice. Samuel is displeased, but the Lord tells him to obey the voice of the people. They reject the Lord from being king over them (1 Sam 8:1-8)
Samuel solemnly warns the people by showing them the ways of the king who will rule over them (1 Sam 8:9-18).
The king will
Take their sons and daughters to be his servants
Take the best of their fields, vineyards, olive orchards, and a tenth of the people’s grain and vineyards and give them to his own servants
Take their servants and the best of their young men and donkeys and put them to work
Take a tenth of their flocks
Make the people into slaves
When the people cry out because of the king they chose for themselves, the Lord will not answer.
The people refuse to listen. They want to be like all the nations who have a king to judge them and go before them in battle. Samuel repeats their words in the ears of the Lord and the Lord tells Samuel to make them a king (1 Sam 8:19-22)
Saul, a Benjamite, goes out in search of his father’s donkeys. His servant suggests that they ask the man of God where they should go (1 Sam 9:1-14)
The Lord tells Samuel the day prior that He will send a man whom Samuel shall anoint as prince over His people, and he will save them from the Philistines. When Samuel sees Saul, the Lord tells him that this is the one who will restrain His people (1 Sam 9:15-17)
Samuel instructs Saul to go to the high place and eat with him. Saul sleeps that night on the roof in the city. Samuel anoints Saul in the morning as they go to the outskirts of the city (1 Sam 9:18-10:1)
Samuel makes known to Saul the word of God (1 Sam 10:1-8)
The Lord has anointed Saul to be prince over His people Israel
Saul shall reign over the people of the Lord and save them from their enemies
The sign that the Lord has anointed him is
Saul will meet two men by Rachel’s tomb who will tell him that his father is no longer anxious about the donkeys but is anxious about Saul
Saul will go to the oak of Tabor, where three men bringing food to Bethel will greet him and give him two loaves of bread
Saul will come to Gibeath-elohim and meet a group of prophesying prophets coming from the high place with instruments
The Spirit of the Lord will rush upon Saul. Saul will prophesy with the prophets and be turned into another man
Samuel instructs Saul to do what his hand finds to do when these signs meet him, for God is with him
Samuel instructs Saul to go down to Gilgal before Samuel and wait for seven days until Samuel comes to him and shows him what to do
When Saul turns his back to leave Samuel, God gives Saul another heart. Saul prophesies with the prophets and people wonder if Saul is also among the prophets. Saul does not reveal to his uncle that Samuel had told him about the kingdom (1 Sam 10:9-16)
Samuel tells the people that they have rejected God by asking for a king. He commands them to present themselves before the Lord by their tribes. Saul is taken by lot, and they find him hiding among the baggage (1 Sam 10:17-24)
Samuel tells them the rights and duties of the kingship, writes them in a book, and lays it before the Lord. Samuel sends everyone home. Saul also goes home (1 Sam 10:25-27)
Saul musters the people against the Ammonites to save the men of Jabesh. The Israelites defeat and scatter the Ammonites so that no two of them are left together (1 Sam 11:1-11)
The people tell Samuel to allow them to put to death those who despised Saul at the beginning. Samuel invites them to Gilgal to renew the kingdom. They make Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal and rejoice greatly (1 Sam 11:12-15)
Samuel’s addresses the people with a farewell speech (1 Sam 12:1-25)
Samuel tells the people he has obeyed the people’s voice in making a king over them (1 Sam 12:1)
Samuel challenges the people to testify against him before the Lord and before the king if he has stolen from, defrauded, oppressed, or accepted bribes from anyone throughout his life. They respond that he has not (1 Sam 12:2-5)
Samuel commands the people to stand still so he can plead with them before the Lord concerning all the righteous deeds He did for them and for their fathers (1 Sam 12:6-13)
The Lord sent Moses and Aaron to bring their fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.
When their fathers forgot the Lord, He sold them into the hands of Sisera, the Philistines, and Moab.
When their fathers confessed their sin, the Lord sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel to deliver them, and they lived in safety.
When the people saw that the Ammonites came against them, they asked for a king, and the Lord set a king over them.
Samuel tells the people that it will be well with them and the king if they fear the Lord, serve Him, obey His voice, do not rebel against His commandments, and follow Him. If they do not do so, the hand of the Lord will be against them and their king (1 Sam 12:14-15)
Samuel commands the people to stand still and see the Lord’s great deed, which will show them that their wickedness is great. Samuel calls upon the Lord, and it thunders and rains. The people greatly fear the Lord and Samuel (1 Sam 12:16-18)
The people ask Samuel to pray for them that they may not die for the evil of asking for a king. Samuel comforts them by telling them not to turn aside from following the Lord, but to serve Him with all their heart. Samuel will not cease to pray for them (1 Sam 12:19-25)
God rejects Saul as king (1 Sam 13:1-15:35)
Saul musters the Israelites to Gilgal to fight the Philistines, who are as numerous as the sand on the seashore. Saul waits seven days for Samuel to arrive and make offerings to seek God’s favor. Samuel does not arrive at the appointed time, so Saul offers the burnt offering himself (1 Sam 13:1-9)
Samuel arrives and asks what Saul did. Saul explains that he forced himself because of the dire circumstances. Samuel replies that Saul has done foolishly and that his kingdom will not continue. The Lord has sought another man after His own heart to be prince over His people (1 Sam 13:1-15)
Jonathan and his armor-bearer go up to the Philistine garrison without telling Saul. There is great panic from God in the Philistine camp, and the rest of the Israelites join in the fight. The Lord saves Israel that day. (1 Sam 14:1-23)
Saul curses any man who eats before evening, before Saul avenges himself on his enemies. Jonathan tastes some honey, not aware of Saul’s oath. The people become so hungry that they eat meat with blood (1 Sam 14:24-35)
Saul wants to attack the Philistines by night, but God does not answer Saul when he inquires about his plan. The people ransom Jonathan from death when the Urim and Thummim reveal that Jonathan had broken Saul’s oath (1 Sam 14:36-46)
Saul delivers Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them on every side (1 Sam 14:47-52)

The Lord tells Samuel that He regrets making Saul king because he has not obeyed His commandments. Samuel is angry and cries to the Lord all night (1 Sam 15:10-11)
Samuel rises early to meet Saul. Samuel inquires about the bleating of sheep and the lowing of oxen he hears. When Saul explains himself, Samuel tells him to stop. Saul has rejected the word of the Lord, so God has also rejected him from being king (1 Sam 15:12-23)
Saul admits his sin and asks Samuel to return with him so that he can bow before the Lord. Samuel refuses. Saul seizes the skirt of Samuel’s robe and it tears. Samuel tells Saul that God has torn the kingdom of Israel from him and given it to a neighbor who is better than him (1 Sam 15:24-29)
Saul admits his sin again and requests Samuel to honor him before the elders of his people by returning with him. Samuel goes with Saul (1 Sam 15:30-31)

Samuel anoints David as king (1 Sam 16:1-13; 19:18-24)
Samuel is sent by God to anoint a new king, who is in Bethlehem. Samuel takes a heifer with him and invites Jesse to the sacrifice. All of Jesse’s sons pass by Samuel except for the youngest, David. David is summoned from keeping the sheep. Samuel anoints him before his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord rushes upon David from that day forward (1 Sam 16:1-13)
David flees to Samuel at Ramah because Saul is after his life. David and Samuel live in Naioth in Ramah. Saul sends messengers to take David three times, but each group of messengers prophesies upon seeing the company of prophets that is with Samuel. Saul goes to Naioth himself, prophesying on the way. Like the messengers before him, he strips off his clothes and prophesies before Samuel all day and night. People ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” (1 Sam 19:18-24)
Samuel dies. All Israel assembles and mourns for him. He is buried in his house at Ramah (1 Sam 25:1)
The Philistines gather their forces against the Israelites, making Saul’s heart tremble greatly. He inquires of the Lord, but the Lord does not answer him. Saul disguises himself and goes to a medium, whom he commands to summon Samuel from the dead. Saul bows in homage to a conjured “Samuel” and asks him what he should do (1 Sam 28:3-15)
“Samuel” responds (1 Sam 28:16-19)
The Lord has turned from Saul and become his enemy
