EPISODE #11– Samuel the King Maker

The children of Israel had experienced a number of ‘up’s and downs’ while settling into life in the Promised Land. The leadership of the Judges was not going well.  Maybe the answer was to become like ‘everyone else’. The nations around Israel all had Kings. ‘Ah, there’s the answer!  We want a King too!’
The books of 1st and 2nd Samuel detail the transition of Israel from a ‘theocracy’ (led by God) to a ‘monarchy (led by a King). To Samuel, the 'last Judge of Israel’ fell the job of anointing the first two kings of Israel.  Hope you enjoy and learn from this episode— Samuel The King Maker.
