| | Samuel, two books of the Bible, originally a single work, called First and Second Samuel in modern Bibles, and First and Second Kingdoms in the Septuagint. | | | B.C., was the last judge of Israel and the first of the prophets after Moses. | | | In both the books of Samuel and of Kings, the prophets represent the claim of the divine over human kingship. |

| | Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary: First Samuel. |
| | The calamities announced to Samuel as about to fall upon the family of Eli [1Sa 2:34] were now inflicted in the death of his two sons, and after his death, by that of his daughter-in-law, whose infant son received a name that perpetuated the fallen glory of the church and nation [1Sa 4:19-22]. | | | Samuel turned again after Saul--not to worship along with him; but first, that the people might have no ground, on pretense of Saul's rejection, to withdraw their allegiance from him; and secondly, to compensate for Saul's error, by executing God's judgment upon Agag. | | | Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place--Such were the simple manners of the times that this prophet, the chief man in Israel, was seen going to preside at a high festival undistinguished either by his dress or equipage from any ordinary citizen. |

| | Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. | | | And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. | | | And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. |

| | Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [First Samuel: Introduction]. |
| | It is uncertain who was the penman of them; it is probable that Samuel wrote the history of his own time, and that, after him, some of the prophets that were with David (Nathan as likely as any) continued it. | | | It is needless to contend about it, but there is no occasion to vary from the Hebrew verity. | | | calls them the first and second Book of the Kingdoms. |

| | 10. Kings, Tithes, and Taxes: Levites with Political Jobs |
| | As soon as Israel became a nation ruled by a king, the FIRST TITHE became part of national taxation which was collected and redistributed by the king according to his needs. | | | 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. | | | God placed all of these verses in our Bibles to remind us that Levites were public officials of the state and tithes were included as state-taxation to support them. |

| | Samuel was the last of the so-called "Judges." Between the leadership of Joshua and the naming of Saul as the first king of Israel, the Judges ruled over the Israelite people. | | | God tells Samuel to heed the voice of the people and grant them a king. | | | The people asked Samuel to appoint a king to rule them. |

| | Reincarnation and Christianity |
| | One of the fundamental doctrines found throughout almost every book of the Bible is that the person you are today was predetermined by God -- not merely at a time before you came into this life -- but at a time prior to creation and the formation of the earth. | | | If we, therefore, truly desire to be one of the few who are chosen to receive the Mysteries of the Gospel, then it is paramount that we first understand why the multitudes were rejected, and only certain pre-selected individuals were chosen for this purpose. | | | The Bible teaches that God did not want Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, until God first demonstrated His power by killing all their first-born sons. |

| | Rare Device: Samuel Taylor Coleridge |
| | Samuel Taylor was born on October 21st, 1772, youngest son of a large family sired by the Vicar of Ottery and master of the Grammar School, John Coleridge. | | | It was inspired by a passage in the book Purchas's Pilgrimage, and it should be said that the second half makes a lot more sense if you read it as the author trying to recapture the images that he wrote of in the first. | | | There is certain medical and written evidence to suggest that it is best not to take the story of the poem's writing -- as the interrupted transcript of an opium dream -- at strictly face value, but the work nonetheless retains great force in its verses. |
