*SAUL*
(“saul” is “samuel” (minus the “me”))
.
.
*the 2 books of samuel (hebrew: Sefer Shmuel ספר שמואל) are part of the “deuteronomistic history”, a series of books (joshua, judges, samuel and kings) in the hebrew bible / old testament that constitute a theological history of the israelites which explains god’s law for israel under the guidance of the ‘prophets’*
.
(according to jewish tradition the book was written by samuel, with additions by the prophets gad and nathan; modern scholarly thinking is that the entire history (called the deuteronomistic history) was composed in the period c.630–540 BC by combining a number of independent texts of various ages)
(“samuel” begins with the prophet samuel’s birth and god’s call to him as a boy)
(the story of the ark of the covenant that follows tells of israel’s oppression by the philistines, which brought about samuel’s anointing of saul as israel’s first king)
(but saul proved unworthy and god’s choice turned to david, who defeated israel’s enemies and brought the ark to jerusalem)
(“god” then “promised” “david” and his “successors” an “everlasting dynasty”)
(i have to “challenge” every word in “quotes”)
(whiny jews: “you promised!”)
“you promised, God!”
“you ‘promised’, God!”
“on my honor…”
