1 Samuel Title  Book title comes from its author (Samuel). Author  Many people credit Samuel with having written the book, although it can be certain that he had at least two other people helping him—Nathan and Gad. Samuel was the son of Hannah (1 Samuel 1:19–20) who anointed both Saul and David as king over Israel (1 Samuel 9:27–10:1; 16:13). Date  The events the book describes occurred at the end of the period of the judges (around 1350–1100 BC). This means that the book could have been written sometime between 1100–1000 BC, although this can't be firmly established. Audience  The generations of people living prior to and immediately following the monarchy in Israel. 1 Samuel in a Sentence Although God had been their King for many years, the Israelites succumbed to the pressure of surrounding pagan nations and asked God for a human king to lead them. Major People  Eli  Hophni and Phinehas  Ichabod  Samuel  Saul  Nahash  Jonathan  David  Goliath  Michal  Ahimelech

 Abigail  Witch of Endor Major Events  Samuel is born and called by God to be a prophet (1 Samuel 1–7).  Under God's direction, Samuel anoints Saul as the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 8).  In the beginning, Saul serves the nation of Israel well, but eventually he becomes exceedingly prideful and corrupt (1 Samuel 9–31).  Samuel anoints David to be the next king of Israel (1 Samuel 16).  David kills Goliath (1 Samuel 16–17).  Saul and his son, Jonathan, die (1 Samuel 31). Key Verses But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.' 1 Samuel 16:7 9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed. 1 Samuel 2:9–10 But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.' 1 Samuel 16:7 9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed. 1 Samuel 2:9–10 But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.' 1 Samuel 16:7
