4. 战争开始时，好象哪个军队要打胜战？以色列人害怕非利士人到什么程度？
5. 扫罗在吉甲等撒母耳等了多久？ 为什么？（参阅撒母耳记上10:8。）可惜，扫罗太紧张！撒母耳未到之先，扫罗做了什么？撒母耳反应如何？扫罗怎么样自白？撒母耳反应如下（13-14节）：“你做了胡___事了！没有遵守耶和华你神所吩咐你的命___。若遵守，耶和华必在以色列中坚立你的___位，直到___ ___。现在你的___位必不长久。耶和华已经寻着一个___ ___ ___ ___的人，立他作百姓的___，因为你没有___守耶和华所吩咐你的”。
6. 虽然非利士人不能毁灭以色列人，他们还是控制以色列人，不让他们强壮。非利士人用什么方法不让以色列人获得武器，不许他们制造刀剑枪予？磨农夫必须用品等，要多少钱？

6. 扫罗王想知道何事？扫罗发现谁不在场？
7. 18节：扫罗叫他们把什么东西拿来？（“约柜”：希腊文《圣经》写“以弗得”。也许原创稿件就是以弗得。）你认为扫罗的动机是什么？

图片：2010年，我在以色列国的古城“伯示麦”当考古学家的义工助手时，我们发现士师记时代的炉子。约书亚、撒母耳、扫罗都会用这样的炉子煮饭菜。Photo: I volunteered as an archaeologist’s assistant in 2010. Our group dug at Tel Beth Shemesh and found this oven that dated during the period of Judges. It is the type of oven that Joshua, Samuel and Saul would have used.
1 Samuel/04:
Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen
1. 1 Samuel 13: Samuel Rebukes Saul
1) What did King Saul do that upset the Philistines?
2) Vs. 3: What message did Saul want the Israelites to hear? In fact, however, what message was disseminated?
3) What was the name of King Saul’s son?
4) At the beginning of the war, it appeared like which army would win? To what extent did the Israelites fear the Philistines?
5) How long did Saul wait for Samuel at Gilgal? Why? (See 1 Samuel 10:8.) Unfortunately, Saul was in too much of a hurry! What did Saul do before Samuel arrived? What was Samuel’s reaction? How did Saul defend his actions? Note Samuel’s reaction (vs. 13-14): Samuel said to Saul, “You have done f___; you have not kept the c___ of the LORD your God, which he commanded you. The LORD would have established your k___ over Israel f___, but now your k___ will not continue; the LORD has sought out a man ___ h___ o___ h___; and the LORD has appointed him to be r___ over his people, because you have not k___ what the LORD commanded you” (NRSV).
6) Although the Philistines could not destroy the Israelites, they controlled them nonetheless, and did not allow them to become powerful. How did the Philistines keep the Israelites from obtaining weapons, from making swords and spears? What was the charge to sharpen farm implements?
7) One could find weapons only in whose hands? Why do you think this was the case?
2.1 Samuel 14: Jonathan Attacks the Philistines
1) First, please read 1 Samuel 14. What is your impression of Jonathan?
2) Vs. 1-14: How did Jonathan determine whether to attack the Philistines or not?
3) Explain how Jonathan attacked the Philistines.
4) Vs. 6: Memorize what Jonathan said: “…it may be that the LORD will act for us; for nothing can hinder the LORD from s______ by m_____ or by f___” (NRSV).
5) Vs. 15: “There was a p_____ in the camp, in the f_____, and among all the p_____; the garrison and even the raiders t________; the earth quaked; and it became a very great p_____” (NRSV). [In addition to the Union Version, the New Chinese Translation is also given.]
6) What did King Saul want to know? Saul realized that who was absent?
7) Vs. 18: For what item did Saul ask? (Note that the NRSV footnote indicates that the Greek translation of the Old Testament says “ephod” instead of ark.) What do you think was Saul’s motive?
8) Vs. 20-23: How did God enable the Israelites to prevail?
9) Vs. 24: King Saul gave the troops a very unwise order; what was it?
10) Who disobeyed Saul’s’ order and how did he do it?
11) After learning that he had disobeyed his father’s command, Jonathan said, “My father has t________ the land” (NRSV). [The New Chinese Translation is also given.] {We assume that “the land” refers to the nation of Israel.)
12) Vs. 31-35: Why was the troop’s eating of food not considered disobedience to the king’s order?
13) The troops were not without fault, however. Whose command did they disobey? What command did they disobey? (See Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:11; 19:26; Deuteronomy 12:16; Ezekiel 33:25; Acts 15:20.)
14) Vs. 33-34: How did King Saul correct this problem? Did Saul handle this problem in an admirable way? (From this we know that Saul did know how to behave correctly.)
15) What did Saul do for the Lord God for the first time?
16) Explain why the army needed to save Jonathan and how they did it.
17) Vs. 47-48: What did Saul do well?
