Week 1 - Introduction and Background

In these studies, we will examine the biblical events as seen in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. In 1 Samuel, we will meet the high priest Eli and his two wicked sons, Hophni and Phinehas. We’ll get to know Samuel and his mother, Hannah, and learn why he was dedicated to the Lord’s service. We’ll learn about Saul, Israel’s first king, and see all the awful events that led to his decline and demise. And finally, we’ll be introduced to David, the man after God’s own heart.
