- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The books of 1st and 2nd
- 00:19
- Samuel. Now when we look in the Old Testament we see that this was actually only one book called
- 00:25
- Samuel. The author is assumed to be, well, Samuel himself. And this book is going to provide the historical account of Israel between the 12th to the 10th centuries
- 00:37
- BC. Now this is something that we end up seeing is going to give the account of Samuel the prophet as we transition from the time of the judges into the kings.
- 00:52

- 01:01
- And in so they get Saul. And so the first half of the book of 1st Samuel is going to deal with the life of Samuel.
- 01:09
- Then you're going to have the dealings of the life of Saul that will be in the second half of the book.
- 01:14
