6. Compare the beginning and ending of
the book.
7. Before you nish your survey study, try
to suggest a theme for 1 Samuel. Write out a
few important truths which you have
already observed in your study.
8. Study the survey Chart 42. Compare its
outlines with what you have already
observed. How does the chart show 1
Samuel to be a connecting link between the
books of Judges and 2 Samuel?
IV. PROMINENT SUBJECTS OF 1 SAMUEL
A. HISTORY
First Samuel records the transition from
the era of judges to that of the monarchy.
(Read Acts 13:20-21, noticing these three
words: judges, prophet, king.)
The book also describes Samuel’s
in uences, as prophet judge, on the life of
Israel and many of its leaders. Chart 43
shows how the story of Samuel is told in the
rst eight chapters of 1 Samuel. (He
continued to serve after 1 Samuel 8:22, but
beginning at chapter 9 the head of the
nation is a king, Saul.)
Most of 1 Samuel reports the highlights of
the tragic regin of Saul, Israel’s rst king.
Overlapping this account is the setting for
the regin of David as describe in 2 Samuel.
Read 1 Samuel with this outline in mind:
1. Samule’s Birth and Call
(1:1—4:1a)
2. The Art of the Lord
(4:1b—7:2)
3. Samuel the Judge
(7:3—8:22)
4. Samuel the king
(9:1—12:25)
5. Saul Rejected
(13:1—15:35)
6. David Anointed
(16:1—17:58)
7. David Flees Saul
(18:1—21:9)
8. David in Exile
(21:10—28:2)
9. Last Days of Saul’s Reign
(28:3—31:13)
B. TYPES AND SYMBOLS
The books of Samuel are rich in typical or
symbolic truths. In many ways this Old
Testament book foreshadows Christ in the
offices of prophet, priest, and king.
C. SOME DISTINCTIVE POINTS OF 1 SAMUEL
The book of 1 Samuel contains many
unique items. Some of them are:
1. The sources of the oft-quoted words,
“Ichabod” (“The glory is departed” or
