17 Quotes From The Book Of 1 Samuel – Famous Bible Quotations

Update on by Pastor Jack Wellman

The people of Israel wanted a king to rule them, but the priest Samuel warned them that God wanted no king for his nation. The book of 1 Samuel outlines the birth of Samuel, his life as a dedicated man of God, and the outcome of his warnings. Saul ruled Israel but became a wicked man, and David rose up to rule in his place. The wisdom of Samuel can still guide us today.
