David and Saul (1)
1 Samuel 16-21
 

David Anointed as King - 1 Samuel 16
vv 1-5 – Samuel Sent to Jesse
vv 6-11 – None of Jesse’s Sons
vv 12-13 – David, the Youngest
vv 14-23 – David Taken into Saul’s Service
 

“Seeing” in Samuel

1 Samuel 9:2 – a physical description of Saul
1 Samuel 9:9 – a historical note about prophets and “seers”
1 Samuel 9:16 – “for I have seen my people”
1 Samuel 9:17 – “when Samuel saw Saul”
1 Samuel 9:19 – “I am the seer”
1 Samuel 10:24 – “Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen” with an emphasis on Saul’s appearance
1 Samuel 16:1 – “for I have provided for myself a king” = same root word as seen
1 Samuel 10:24 – “do not look on his outward appearance…For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
 

David and Goliath - 1 Samuel 17
vv 1-11 – Single Combat: Goliath
vv 12-18 – Jesse Sends David 
vv 19-30 – David Inquires of Goliath
vv 31-40 – David Offers to Fight

vv 55-58 – Saul Inquires of David
 

An Issue of Chronology

1 Samuel 16:14-23 – David taken into Saul’s service (18-19)
1 Samuel 17:55-58 – David introduces himself to Saul
Scripture is concerned more with theology than chronology
It has been argued that chapter 17 actually happened before 16
Why would the writer place 16 first?
To emphasize that God was concerned with David’s heart
The first note about David is that he is the youngest/smallest
The second note is about David being with the sheep
It is only in the third note that we get a physical description
What happens if the introduction to David is his killing Goliath?

How Does One Repent

• Psalm 51: 16-17 : A Broken and Contrite Heart
• Joel 2:13 : Rend Your Hearts and Not Your Garments
  • God always wants our heart first
• Luke 18:13 : God Be Merciful to Me the Sinner
  • Sin makes us just like this tax collector, at odds with God
• Luke 19:8 : I Restore It Fourfold
  • True repentance carries with it the desire to right that which was wronged. 
• Acts 22:10 : What Shall I Do?
  • Repentance carries with it the idea that you know what you should do when going forward
