231) God and Samuel / Samuel and God

chap 31


- The Israelites are defeated by the Philistines!


- Saul and his three sons die!


- The philistines cut Saul’s head!


2 Samuel


- David becomes king!


- Later he will commit adultery with Bath-Sheba!


- He has Bath-Sheba’s husband, Uriah, killed!


- Then he takes Bath-Sheba as wife!


- David will get into trouble for the rest of his life for what he has done!


- David will organize a census of the people against God’s will!


- The price: pestilence kills 70,000 Israelites!


- Just as Samuel said, human kings would bring big troubles without exception!


- And it isn’t different from Solomon with all his wisdom!
