“The supreme gift that could be given to God was obedience” (Page 128)

“Samuel was born during the days of the judges, and during those days there was no ruler. There was a terrible vacuum of leadership. No person seemed to have the moral character or the willingness to step forth and lead God’s people in the ways of righteousness and justice.” (Page 32)

“By the victory God was going to give David, the world would know that the Lord is the only living and true God. And the world would know that it is not by military might that the Lord saves. The Lord saves by the might of His own power (v. 47).” (Page 153)

“Note the strategy and advance of David (vv. 45–49). Unmoved by the defiance and threats of Goliath, David launched a verbal counterattack.¹ He shouted out the difference between him and Goliath: that Goliath trusted in his man-made weapons, the weapons of sword and spear and javelin. But he, David, trusted in the Lord of hosts, the ‘Lord Almighty’—the God of the armies of Israel whom Goliath had defied (v. 45). Then David shouted out that the victory would be the Lord’s. The Lord would enable David to strike Goliath down and even cut off his head. Moreover, the Lord would give a great victory over the Philistine army, and the carcasses of the army would be given to the birds of the air and the beasts of the fields.” (Page 153)

“Note who the father would choose to be the future king: he had each of his seven sons in descending order by age pass in front of Samuel (vv. 8–10). After the oldest son Eliab had been rejected, Jesse presented Abinadab to Samuel. But Abinadab was rejected. Then Jesse had Shammah pass before Samuel, but he too was rejected (v. 9). One by one in descending order, Jesse had his sons pass before Samuel. But in each case, Samuel pronounced the fateful words, each was rejected (v. 10). Had it been left to Samuel and Jesse, one of these seven would have been chosen to be the future king of Israel. But God knew the hearts, and the heart that He was after was not present.” (Page 140)
