What happens when the Ark of the Covenant is NOT with the Israelite people? Bad things. Ouchy things. Check it out.

Hophni and Phineas get what’s coming to them…a war is coming. This one’s pretty graphic if you have kids!

God has his first chat with the boy Samuel who keeps wondering where that voice is coming from. Eli wonders if something’s wrong with the kid.

What’s the worse thing you can here? “No one in your family is going to reach old age.” Tune in to hear one of the most beautiful prayers contrasted with the scariest of prophecies. 

Girl fight? Definitely. But Hannah shows how to fight well. She goes to battle on her knees. Elkinah is cool with the plan…on two conditions. Check out this first ever episode of The Bible Breakdown!

A welcome to A Bible Break, a podcast with a little bit about the whys (to get used to the language of the Bible with today’s inflection), where we will start reading in the Bible (1 Samuel) and what version to use if you want to follow along (ESV). I guess now you don’t HAVE to listen. But it’s a good intro to who I am as well! I’m your host, Hannah Benson, and I’m SO GLAD you’re here.
