撒母耳记上第一课：第一章至第七章
一。撒母耳记上第一章：撒母耳出生
1. 哈拿不能生___。此情况产生其他什么问题（6节）？
2. 哈拿为什么形容自己的情况为，“…婢女的苦情…心里愁苦的妇人”？
3. 圣经记载告诉我们“耶和华不使哈拿生育”（6节）。创世记也有类似的话，如：创世记18:10; 29:31; 30:2, 22。你认为，今天神是否参与女人怀孕不怀孕这样的事？为什么？
4. 当哈拿祈祷时，以利以为哈拿___了酒。以利明白实情后，他说，愿耶和华___ ___她的祷告。果然，哈拿胜利___给他起名叫___，因为他是从耶和华___来的。
5. 撒母耳断了奶后，哈拿做了一件很不寻常的事情，是什么？
6. 撒母耳记上第一章记载以利加拿（3节），以利加拿和妻子哈拿（19节），以及撒母耳自己（28节），都作了同一件事情，是什么？
7. 请背诵撒母耳记上1:27-28：“‘我祈求为要得这孩子，耶和华已将我所求的赐给我了。所以我将这孩子归与耶和华，使他终身归与耶和华’。于是在那里敬拜耶和华”。
二。撒母耳记上二章：以利两个邪恶的儿子
1. 撒母耳记上二章1至10节是哈拿写的祷告赞美词和诗歌。请您自己想一想耶和华怎么样赐了福给您，然后以此为题目，写一首赞美神的词句或诗歌。
2. 10节：“…耶和华…将力量赐与所立的王，高举受膏者的角”：此是第一次圣经用“耶和华…受膏者”一此。希伯来原文意思很深：既是“受膏者”的意思，又是“弥赛亚”的意思（参看NIV Study Bible） 。在旧约，谁是耶和华所立为王的？（是以色列的国王。）谁是耶和华的“受膏者”呢？（是以色列的国王。）（注意：旧约也有不少预言有关米赛亚，形容他为“王”和“神的受膏者”。）在新约里，谁是耶和华所立为王的？（是耶稣基督。）谁是耶和华的“受膏者”呢？（是耶稣基督。耶稣是基督，是米赛亚，是神的受膏者。）在您自己的生命当中，是谁在掌权做“王”呢？
3. 12-17节，22节：以利的儿子做了哪些邪恶的事？
4. 请背诵以利责备他儿子的话：“人若得罪人，有士师审判他；人若得罪耶和华，谁能为他祈求呢？”（25节）。
5. 27-29节：神告诉以利说，以利儿子的怀行为是谁的责任？
6. 25节，27-36节：耶和华决定怎么样惩罚以利的儿子？
7. 34节：神给以利一个“证明”，让他知道神的话不会落空：两个儿子同一天就会___。
8. 请背诵耶和华责备以利的词句之一（30节）：“现在我却说，决不容你们这样行！因为尊重我的，我必重看他；藐视我的，他必被轻视”。
9. 18-21节：哈拿怎么样照顾撒母耳？ 神怎么样眷顾哈拿？
10. 26节：此句话让您想起谁？（参看路加福音2:52。）
三。撒母耳记上三章：耶和华神呼召撒母耳
1. 请说明神怎么样初次呼召撒母耳。
2. 神告诉撒母耳何事？
3. 19-21节：神以及众人对撒母耳怎么样？
4. 请背诵撒母耳对耶和华所说的一句名言：“请说，仆人敬听”。请自己把此句话写下来，好好地思考思考。您我是否向神说同一句话呢？今天，我们如何听到神的声音？
四。撒母耳记上四章：神审判以利一家
1. 请述说神在撒母耳记上二章的话和预言都如何得了应验。
2. 5-10节：非利士人听到什么声音，猜想什么事，使得他们打战打得怎么样？
3. 当天，哪四位重要人物死了？
4. 22节：以利的儿妇说；“荣耀___ ___了以色列，因为神的约柜被掳去了”。
五。撒母耳记上五章：神的约柜在非利士人手下
1. 非利士人为什么要把以色列的约柜抢走？
2. 非利士人高高兴兴地把约柜送到非利士人之地后，把约柜摆在哪里？次日清早呢？（注意：在迦南人的神话故事，大衮是巴力的父亲；大衮是非利士人主要的神明。）
3. 真神的约柜被送到非利士人那里以后，发生其他哪些他们预料不到的事？
4. 不少非利士人___了；也有人得了什么？ 结果，非利士的众首领决定怎么样处理约柜？
5. 非利士人总共有五个重要城市。他们把约柜送去哪三个城？
6. 原先，非利士人不相信，但后来他们毫无疑问地知道，所临到他们的灾害，都出于什么（或出于谁）？
六。撒母耳记上六章：非利士人把约柜送回原处
1. 请说明非利士人按照什么逻辑才协调如何把约柜送回以色列。他们献上什么赎罪品？
2. 7-12节：也许有些非利士人怀疑，灾害是否出于耶和华，所以他们决定怎么样判断此事？结果如何呢？
3. 以色列的伯示麦人正在平原收割麦子时，举目看见约柜到来，就___ ___了。但是，后来，他们犯了什么罪？神怎么样惩罚他们？（图片：我拍此图片时，我站在伯示麦往非利士人之地而看。照片里的麦田就是撒母耳记上6:13所提到的。请用你的想象力而“见到”所记载的：“伯示麦人正在平原收割麦子，举目看见约柜，就欢喜了。”）
4. 伯示麦人说：“谁能在耶和华这___ ___的神面前侍立呢？这约柜可以从我们这里送到___那里去呢？”之后，他们把约柜送到哪里（七章1节）？

1 Samuel/01:
Chapters One through Seven
- 1 Samuel 1: Samuel’s Birth:
1) Hannah was unable to conc___. What other problem(s) did this cause?
2) Why did Hannah describe herself as miserable, and as “a woman who is deeply troubled”?
3) The Bible says that “the LORD had closed her womb” (v. 6). Several places in Genesis we find similar terminology: Genesis 18:10; 29:31; 30:2,22. Do you think that God intervenes in whether a woman conceives today?
4) When Eli saw Hannah praying, he thought she was d___. After he understood the truth of the matter, Eli told Hannah, May the God of Israel ___ your prayer. The result was that Hannah___, and named him S___, because “I a___ the LORD for him.
5) After Samuel was weaned, what very unusual thing did Hannah do?
6) 1 Samuel ch. one records that Elkanah (v. 3), Elkanah and his wife Hannah (v. 19), and Samuel himself (v. 28), all did the same thing; what was it?
7) Please memorize 1 Samuel 1:27-28: “I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.”
2. 1 Samuel 2: The Wickedness of Samuel’s Two Sons
1) 1 Samuel 2:1-10 is a prayer-poem of praise to the Lord. Please consider how the Lord has blessed your life, and then write some words of praise or a poem/song based on that experience/event.
2) Vs. 10: “…the LORD… He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.” This is the first use of this term in the Bible; see notes in the NIV Study Bible. The original Hebrew has deep meaning, in that it can mean both “anointed” and “Messiah.” Who did the Lord establish as king in the Old Testament? (The king of Israel.) Who was the Lord’s anointed in the Old Testament? (The king of Israel.) (Note: There are many prophecies in the Old Testament regarding the Messiah that describe him as “king” and as “the Lord’s anointed.”) Who did the Lord establish as king in the New Testament? (Jesus Christ.) Who was the Lord’s anointed in the New Testament? (Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah and the Lord’s anointed.) Who has authority as king of your own life?
3) Vs. 12-17 and vs. 22: What wicked things did Eli’s son do?
4) Memorize Eli’s reprimand of his sons: If a man sins against another man, God may mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?” (vs. 25). [Note: Where NIV says “God may mediate…”, Chinese Union Version says “a judge will judge.”]
5) Vs. 27-29: God told Eli that his sons’ wickedness was whose responsibility?
6) Vs. 25 and vs. 27-36: God determined to punish Eli’s sons in what way?
7) Vs. 34: God gave Eli a “sign” so he would know that God’s word does not come to nothing: Eli’s two sons would both d___ on the same day.
8) Memorize part of God’s reprimand of Eli (vs. 30): “…But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.”
9) Vs. 18-21: How did Hannah care for Samuel? How did God care for Hannah? 10). Vs. 26: Of whom does this verse make you think? (See Luke 2:52.)
3. 1 Samuel 3: The Lord God Calls Samuel
1) Describe how God called Samuel the first time.
2) What did God tell Samuel?
3) Vs. 19-21: How did both God and the people regard Samuel?
4) Memorize a famous statement that Samuel spoke to the Lord: “Speak, for your servant is listening.” Write it down yourself. Do you and I say this same thing to God? How do we hear God?
4. 1 Samuel 4: God Judges the House of Eli
1) Describe how all the words and prophecies of God in 1 Samuel ch. 2 were fulfilled.
2) Vs. 5-10: What sound did the Philistines hear, what did they discern, and to what degree of fighting did these things inspire them?
3) What four important people died that day?
4) Vs. 22: Eli’s daughter-in-law said, “The glory has d___ from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”
5. 1 Samuel 5: The Ark of God in the Hands of the Philistines
1) Why did the Philistines want to capture the Israelite’s ark?
2) Where did the Philistines place the ark after they so happily took the ark into their territory? What happened the next morning? (Note: In Canaanite mythology, Dagon was the father of Baal; Dagon was the most important god of the Philistine pantheon.)
3) What unexpected things happened after the ark was sent to Philistine territory?
4) Not a few Philistines d___; others developed t___. The rulers of the Philistines decided to do what with the ark?
5) The Philistines had five important cities. They took the ark to which three of these cities?
6) Initially, the Philistines did not believe, but eventually there was no refuting that the calamities that had befallen them were from ___.
6. 1 Samuel 6: The Philistines Return the Ark
1) Explain by what logic the Philistines determined how to return the ark to Israel. What guilt offering did they send with the ark?
2) Vs. 7-12: Perhaps some Philistines still were not convinced that the calamities were from the Lord, so they decided to do what to test this possibility? What was the result?
3) When the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley [Note: Chinese Union Version says “on the plain,” but the Chinese New Version says “valley.”], they looked and saw the ark, and they r___. Later however, they committed a sin; what was it? In what way did God punish them? Note: When I took the photo above I was standing at Tel Beth Shemesh looking toward the territory of the Philistines. Use your imagination and “see” the ark of the covenant returning to the Israelites in this very field.
4) The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who can s___ in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? To whom will the ark g___ up from here?” Later, to where did they send the ark(7:1)?
7.1 Samuel 7: Samuel as a Judge of Israel
