[Music] god appointed judges to rule the people after the era of moses and joshua however the time of the judges was about to come to an end because corruption swept through their ranks the people started to become restless because of the corruption that poisoned their hearts and separated them from god their provider [Music] thereafter what does god look like huh what does god look like sleep now those types of questions are better answered when it's morning but why because this is the time for young lads to rest now has god spoken to you before oh he's spoken to me quite often when i was lean when i was hungry uh but you're an important man aren't you oh i am fat with my importance but eli surely god says things that are important to a very important man what's important to god little one is humility as well as an obedient heart the seeds of wisdom young samuel if you know something and you are really quite certain of it then there's a good chance that you don't know what it is at all and now sleep wisdom's a seed oh hush now sleep sleep sleep thus saith the lord you have insulted my sacrifice and despised my offering you have honored your sons above my law you and your house will be cut off your two sons will surely die each one on the same day and you will die on that same day and i will then raise up a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my mind i will build him a sturdy house and he shall become a priest for the king i choose who is the faithful priest eli hmm he could be someone like you my son haven't you been a faithful priest i let my sons run wild over god's goodness with evil when it comes to god never take for granted his great blessing never never all right samuel samuel here i am what is it eli i didn't ask for you go on now go back to sleep samuel samuel here i am eli you called me i didn't samuel no go on back to sleep go on now samuel samuel i am here i know i heard you calling [Music] i didn't call you samuel [Music] sit

servant is listening samuel samuel what is the word the lord spoke to you don't hide it from me may god multiply your punishment if you hide from me one word which the lord spoke to you i tell you that i will judge your house forever because your two sons brought a curse on themselves and you did not rebuke them i am about to do something among jacob's sons and the ears of all who will hear of it will tingle the iniquity of eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering the lord has spoken let him do what is right samuel the lord is with you you are the prophet samuel you are the prophet samuel [Music] [Music] no no no don't take the ark the people believe in its power when the soldiers see it they will rally together gain courage and fight furiously all in the name of their loving god you have grown quite fat from the spoils of our enterprise relax now and let us take care of you dear father this is not a magic box which you can all use for your own intent god is not there for your convenience if you take the ark from here just for your own intentions it will avail you nothing why should we listen to you you've lost touch with the people no don't take the ark empty religious shouting and noise making not every child is meant to honor god wherever there is evil god cannot give his blessing those two sons of mine have brought the ark into battle oh may god forgive me what is it eli surely god's judgments have come upon me i'm afraid don't be afraid open your ears listen and obey oh look a soldier's coming and he's injured what news do you have they lost the battle my lord the philistines killed both your sons by sword it's a great day for jacob's sons what of the ark of the covenant tell me what has happened to it i don't know for certain my lord the noise from the shouting became so loud the rotten stench of blood men disemboweled it was hard to watch i saw the enemy's eyes clouded with hatred i saw the philistines drag off the ark of the covenant at the end of the battle everything was lost more than thirty thousand died on the plane of affect our men fled to their tents trembling with fear but the ark the ark the ark was taken no no no no oh [Music] [Applause] samuel judged israel all the days of his life he established his two sons joel and abhija as judges over israel however they did not walk in god's ways turning aside taking dishonest gains bribes and perverting justice i have lived too long it is a wonderful man a special man who is able to resist the seduction of power and its corruption look at my sons i'm not sure who they are anymore they're so unlike their father it is not you who have failed my lord your two sons decided by their own choice to dishonor their father with acts such as these and when i stand before god he'll ask if i attended to the sacred relations with my creator i'll answer yes for that is true he will then inquire of those two and then in that very instant i will have to hang my head in shame before him i have a meeting with the elders now they've assembled in the tent uh there is much talk throughout the land people people want justice is justice a a business does justice ever have a price if a man really wants justice he will pay any price for it the day may come that we pay that price [Music] it's all right jonadab not appropriate the highest judge of jacob's sons must enter with the dignity of his office i enter only as a servant of my lord i ask you what position could i ever wish to have that is greater than that [Music] to them you are a king a king [Music] my true sons do not differ from eli's two sons it is their shame i bear one of us will be lucky enough to have a king i say my is imperative that we do tribe all day for sure my lord we appear before you as your servants and the people servants enough what do you wish our only intention is to represent what is in the people's interest hmm and you know that we have no other purpose under heaven what is it that burdens you so greatly all right i will speak oh my lord the job you have undertaken to perform is quite serious that's why i've appointed my two sons to help me yes my lord don't get angry but the truth is you have grown old and your sons have not followed your path is this your judgment they have swayed from justice taking bribes and goods and what would you have me do about it uh we we discuss this with the people throughout all the land and we're here to tell you what the people said [Music] they wish to appoint a king to rule over us like the countries around us so it has come to this then it's not about you my lord the people want a symbol of their greatness to be proud of before the peoples around them they want a king a king who will protect them i understand now i wish to have a moment to myself as you wish my lord [Music] leave me alone now god of my father abraham isaac and jacob oh god guide me i need your wisdom [Music] the lord told me listen to the voice of the people they did not reject you samuel but they have rejected me from being king over them they have forsaken me and they have served other gods therefore you shall have your king and he shall take your sons and place them in his armies and he shall take your daughters and place them in service where he chooses out in his fields to do his bidding he will take the best of your fields and he will take the best of your vineyards your harvests and your olives you can all be sure of that then you will cry out on that day because of the oppression by the king you have chosen to lead you but the lord will not answer you but the lord will not answer you but the lord will not answer you but the lord will not answer you [Music] the people have spoken my lord the people want a king to rule over them the people have spoken my lord do not take it personally don't you see the issue is not about me it's about the kingdom of god we want to be like other countries around us and it shall be so let

have been found from the tribe of benjamin he will come what do we do now my lord so there is no doubt among you that god will choose your king we will continue to draw lots down to the end down to the last man so when are we going to see the one whom the lord anointed right now today why wait no sense in arguing but we haven't had time god will give you a king as you wished draw the stone on his behalf saul the son of kish is chosen to be king over all the sons of jacob my son is king my son is king where is he he came with us look for saul he is taller than all the men in the entire area from his shoulders up he is taller than all that is true he cannot hide what we should do is bring him here we should go get saul the lord has revealed the man you seek is hiding with the package with the baggage what's he doing there let's go get saul [Music] huh there he is let's go [Applause] live [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] today you are crowned king over the sons of jacob do you see he whom the lord has chosen throughout all the land surely there is no one else so blessed [Music] [Music] when saul became king over all of israel he fought against all his enemies on every side against moab the sons of ammon edom the kings of tsuba and the philistines and wherever he turned he inflicted punishment my lord uh word from samuel he asks that you do battle all around before we meet at gilgal i know i know but it is important to move cautiously at first samuel said that the lord would be with you he has been with me then we should attack the philistines now while we still can we are not ready for battle you see the people are afraid to move fearing the strength of the enemy our people remain unarmed yes but god is with us we have to be sure well uh how much sure can we be of this my lord we must proceed with caution the cautious man may forfeit victory even after winning cautious have we not attacked the ammonites and routed their armies the sons of jacob number 300 000 strong the men of judah 30 000 alone cautious your king indeed may god's hand direct you [Applause] [Music] my lord and my king my lord and my king jonathan has defeated the philistine garrison at gibba he has routed them what's that they attacked on whose orders jonathan made the decision to attack my lord sound the horn uh shall we wait for samuel to arrive he said he'll be here in seven days my lord sound the horn my lord we have sounded it throughout all the land the people have fled to the hills they've hidden themselves as they hear the philistines have surrounded us when they hear that the philistines are flesh in blood and nothing more they will rally we'll prevail you'll see [Music] i have waited seven days where's samuel father father why have the army scattered the armies of the sons of jacob where is samuel samuel has not appeared am i not king over the whole country of course you're the king father didn't almighty god anoint me so that i may do what is right for his people how can i exercise my sovereignty if samuel is not present people are disappearing like water on a hot day father a father wait until samuel arrives wait for the priest of god to do god's business am i not a king mustn't the king be the one to mediate between his people and their god father please you are their king but the one who is their prophet and priest it's samuel bring me the bert offering and the peace offerings [Music] [Music] samuel welcome to gilgal we await your blessing and word from the lord [Music] what have you done oh this i saw the people were scattering in all directions and you didn't arrive at the appointed time the philistines were assembling and i had no other way to ask the lord for his help you have acted foolishly who established you judge and priest over the people who gave you authority as king over the people as far as god is concerned you are not king and never will be what have you done i felt i couldn't wait you must wait for the lord you have not kept the commandment of the lord your god i cannot undo what has been done saul saul the lord would have established your kingdom over jacob's sons forever god has sought out for himself a man after his own heart samuel the lord has anointed me king over jacob's son shall we then argue over what a king is you certainly are a king there is no doubt however your will and the work you do do not elevate you over god almighty what man could stand above god samuel i took what action i thought was called for the lord has appointed another who will rule over his people because you have not obeyed what the lord has commanded you to do we have much work to do the spears of the philistines rattle in fear because god almighty is on my side is the lord almighty on your side samuel god is on the side of god are you on his side as well [Laughter] i'm very good all right soldier over here samuel may the lord's blessing be with you always and also with you we're getting ready for war my king listen now to the word of god almighty hear me saul i am determined to punish amalek for all that he did to the children of jacob when he opposed them on their exit out of egypt go now and attack amalek's people and kill them all men and women children and infants oxen and goats sheep and camels the army is ready for this battle jacob's sons stand at 200 000 fighting men and are ready to move in addition the tribe of judah has 10 000 men [Music] stand firm my son you're right [Music] it was truly glorious [Music] i've saved your life uh agog to show mercy and to have you stand before the elders of jacob's sons and parade your shame before all the people you have disdained i spit on you and your filthy tribe of pigs father we should not hesitate and kill this uncircumcised idolater while his words still hang in the air if you think your words can cast fear into these old eyes apparently you have much to learn you loathsome mongrel father remember the words of samuel there is no blood on the hands of samuel let he who holds his sword show mercy hmm mercy from you keep your mercy can a dog show mercy no no no no he'll beg you'll see for me to save his [Music] life [Music] the word of the lord came to me at night saying i regret that i have anointed saul my king he has turned his back on me and not followed my word i lay awake all through the night crying out to my god what are you going to do what other choice in this do i have today i am going to confront saul with this do you want me to go with you yes i shall need the support this king of the sons of jacob has exhausted me there's plenty of agog's finest eat eat and give thanks for we have been victorious [Laughter] here i see that saul has raised a monument to himself here on mount carmel he's handsome on the outside on the inside he's empty like a barren womb and it is standing in the place of god almighty look at this little stone what is it to the lord almighty he creates mountains and what of saul can he create a world like this no however he can create a stone and raise it high in honor of his own conceit ah what have you done this time you foolish sons of jacob where will we be able to hide from this evil hyde no we must continue to confront evil even unto death uh i knew there was a reason i should have stayed home come come they will be waiting at gilgal [Music] [Music] samuel judge of the sons of jacob may the lord bless you i have carried out the lord's order what then is this bleeding of sheep and the lowing of the oxen that i very clearly hear it drowns the noise of your celebrations it is from the spoils of the amalekites because the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen to sacrifice them to the lord your god but the rest we have utterly destroyed you listen and let me tell you what it was the lord said to me last night tell me is it not true that you considered yourself to be lowly but the lord made you head over the tribes of the sons of jacob and anointed you so that you would become king over them it's true and the lord sent you on a mission and said go and utterly destroy the amalekites fight until you completely exterminate them yes he did why did you not obey the voice of the lord instead you rushed to gather the spoils and did evil in the eyes of the lord almighty i obeyed the lord's every command and went on the mission the lord sent me i captured agog the king of amalek and destroyed his people but our people they took the best sheep and the best oxen to sacrifice to the lord our god here at gilgal listen to me because i will not repeat these words i say to you i want you to carve these words directly on your heart this very day king saul i'm listening my lord as the lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in you obeying his voice obedience is far better than any spoils or sacrifice rebellion is like the sin of divination and stubbornness like the evil of idolatry because you have chosen to reject the word of the lord he in turn has made a choice to reject you from being king i have i've sinned what is there to do i have sinned because i have disobeyed the lord's order and your command i feared the people and listened to their word please my lord forgive my sinful sin [Music] return with me so that i may worship the lord your god i will not return with you you have rejected the word of the lord the lord has rejected you from being king over the sons of jacob the lord will tear the kingdom of jacob's sons from you today and will give it to your neighbor who is better than you the glorious god of jacob's sons does not lie nor change his mind for he is not a man that he should change his mind [Music] i have sinned i have sinned [Music] please i [Music] i need you to honor me my lord for the sons the sons of jacob the elders of my people return with me that i may worship the lord [Music] [Music] bring me a gag my life is in your hands i'm sorry saul i just want you to know exactly what has happened to you i'm listening to you obedience is our way of living it's not just something you do like a sacrifice the lord looks at the heart of a man and then proceeds to judge that man by his motives many even those who offer sacrifice don't offer it with obedience in their hearts yes my lord it is a way of life i shall weep over you all the days of my life please don't samuel i must sleep in the bed that i have foolishly made for myself [Music] surely death's bitterness has vanished i sit before a judge without a sword [Music] as your sword has made women childless so shall your mother now end up childless as well uh [Music] then samuel went to ramah but saul went up to his house at gibeah of saul and samuel did not see saul again until the day of his death for samuel grieved over saul and the lord regretted that he had made saul king over israel my lord samuel my heart is full with happiness today why is that jonadab because you are getting some fresh air once more so you're worried about my health oh yes my lord how long you have grieved over saul i have grieved much however can you imagine how the lord our god has grieved over saul no i cannot imagine today i will anoint a new king over the sons of jacob if saul should hear of it he will no doubt strike me dead it is for this reason you will offer a sacrifice covering my cowardice yes jonadab yes i'm going to invite jesse of bethlehem to come sacrifice to the lord our god he is to come with all the members of his clan for it is one of his sons that is to be anointed king over all the sons of jacob when you walk among the people they tremble it is for this reason i go with the blessing of the lord under the disguise of sacrifice [Music] i am going in obedience my legs fail me but my heart is strong if your legs fail you what should i say about my own legs come on come on we are going to anoint a new king a king closer to god's heart i am quite anxious to see the man whom the lord will choose yes as am i [Music] come come come eat with us sit down sit down father the judge is coming up the road oh my son what are you babbling about that old man the judge he's who samuel yes the judge may god help us uh prepare the place prepare the place quickly quickly [Music] ah he's coming i have come so that you and all jacob's sons may know the purpose of our god what what can i do for you in this humble home of mine uh my my home my sons my herds my olives perhaps all that i possess is yours take what you will i came for one purpose only i i came for one of your sons oh i see my lord does the king desire to choose brave fighters i didn't come here for armies or servants or priests but for a king the lord sent me to find himself a king one of my sons one of these brave lads will become king he he is the finest of the lot god sees not as a man sees for a man looks only at the outward appearance but the lord looks at the heart within the lord has not chosen any of these boys are you sure perhaps if my lord were to review them a second time do you have any other sons there is the youngest that is tending the sheep send someone to get him until he arrives i will wait right here he wants to see david but why would he want a child he's our youngest brother any honor as that should belong to the oldest brother go go and bring him immediately yes father [Music] david come come quickly but i have to stay with the sheep i was told to remain here you must hurry home is my father all right my brothers i don't know you must hurry home yes all right [Music] please leave us [Music] neil son of jesse this is the one anointed by god and chosen by the lord to lead his people at the appointed hour [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
