The Life of David-The Youthful Years

Historical Setting   1 Samuel 16:1-5 
•         God Used Samuel to Preserve Israel After the Lost Battle of Aphek in 1075 BC
•         Samuel Was the Last Judge in Israel (1 Sam 7:15)
•         But the Israelites Wanted a King
•         This Was Viewed As A Rejection By Samuel Until He Spoke to the Lord (1 Sam 8:6-7)
•         Though Saul Was Allowed to Be Exalted to King, He Proved to be Unsuitable (1 Sam 13:13-14)
•         For 20 Years God Waited Patiently for Saul to Repent
•         Saul Sealed His Doom When He Did Not Kill Agag & Kept the Animals (1 Sam 15:22-23)
•         David Was Anointed by Samuel To Be the Second King in Israel
•         The Rejection of Saul Did Not Force The Lord to a New Course of Action
•         Chapter 16
•         How long wilt thou mourn for Saul-Sorrow Though Proper, May Be So Extreme As to Make One Unfit for Service
•         I have rejected him-Confirmed to Samuel A Second Time
•         Fill thine horn with oil, and go-A Divine Mission Spelled Out in Specific Terms
•         Send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite-Right Place & Right Family
•         For I have provided me a king-Not the People’s Choice, But God’s
•         The Lord’s Will Has Three Dimensions:
•         The Man
•         The Place
•         The Time
•         Samuel Had the Right to Travel Anywhere As Israel’s Judge & Prophet
•         He will kill me-Saul Was Suspicious & Jealous
•         Take an heifer…to sacrifice-Additional Task From The LORD
•         And Samuel did that which the LORD spake-Immediate Obedience Even Though His Life Was in Danger
•         Trembled at his coming-Apprehensive of Judgment or Trouble
•         Sanctify yourselves-Ceremonial Washing Which Accompanied a Sacrifice (Ex 19:10)
•         Called them to the sacrifice-Feast Afterward
•         1080 BC  Apek; Ark Lost; Eli Died; Samuel Started Ministry
•         1060 BC  Mizpeh; King Requested; Samuel Rejected
•         1050 BC  Michmash Warning; David Born
•         1030 BC  Saul Rejected; David Anointed
