1 Samuel – a study guide

Please print this section if you would like to study the Book of 1 Samuel with a group of people. You will find these questions on the Internet at www.usefulbible.com

Part 1 - 1 Samuel chapter 1 - Samuel: the boy whose mother gave him to God.

Read chapter 1, then discuss these questions:

(1) How did God’s people carry out their religion at the time of Elkanah? Where did they go to worship (give honour to God), and why? Who were the leaders of religion? Discuss the importance of sacrifices (the animals that they offered to God), prayers and vows (promises to God). What does the passage say about how people carried out each of these things?

(2) Read some of the rules for people called Nazirites in Numbers 6:1-8. Compare Hannah’s experience with the experiences of the other two women who gave their sons to God as Nazirites. Those women were Samson’s mother in Judges chapter 13, and Elizabeth in Luke chapter 1.

(3) Discuss how Hannah’s attitudes changed through 1 Samuel chapter 1. Why was she so desperate to have a son? Why did she promise to give her son to God in verse 11? What effect did Eli’s words in verse 17 have on her, and why? How do her words in verses 26-28 show complete trust in God?

(4) What does this chapter teach about prayer?

Part 2 - 1 Samuel chapter 2 - Two important messages from God.

Read chapter 2, then discuss these questions:

(1) The first message from God here is Hannah’s prayer in verses 1-10. Compare it with Mary’s song in Luke 1:46-55. What do these passages teach about how God rules the world? What future plan does God have for the world? How do his present actions show what he will do in the future? What was God doing at the time of Hannah, and at the time of Mary?

(2) Compare the behaviour of Eli’s sons with Samuel’s behaviour. Why does the Bible consider the actions of Eli’s sons to be so wicked? What was Eli’s opinion about this matter?

(3) Why did God choose Eli’s family to be priests? Why did God remove their authority to be Israel’s priests? How should the people who serve God behave?

Part 3 - 1 Samuel chapter 3 - Samuel becomes a prophet (a holy man).

Read chapter 3, then discuss these questions:

(1) Discuss how Samuel’s experience as Eli’s servant helped him to learn how to serve God. Why was it difficult for Samuel to realise that God was speaking to him? What advice did Eli give to Samuel?

(2) How do we hear God’s message today? In what ways should our attitudes be similar to Samuel’s attitudes? Explain what Jesus said about the need to obey God’s word in Matthew 7:24-27. Compare this with Mark 3:31-35 and James 1:22-27.

(3) Compare the message that God gave to Samuel in verses 11-14 with 1 Samuel 2:27-36. What was Eli’s reaction to that message? Compare his reaction with Ahab’s reaction to a similar message in 1 Kings 21:27-29. Was Eli right not to pray against these troubles?

Part 4 - 1 Samuel chapter 4 - Philistia’s army defeats Israel’s army and takes away the sacred object called the ark.

Read chapter 4, then discuss these questions:

(1) What are the right attitudes for a person who prays for God’s help? Compare the actions of Israel’s people in 1 Samuel 7:3-10 with the decision of Israel’s leaders in 1 Samuel 4:3. Why is it wrong if people try to force God to help them?

(2) Read more about the ark in Exodus 25:10-22. What was the proper place for the ark? What did God say that he would do there?

(3) Discuss the words of Philistia’s soldiers in verses 7-9. What correct facts did they know about Israel’s God? What wrong ideas did they have?

(4) ‘The glory (greatness) has left Israel’ (verses 21-22). Discuss how true these words were. Had God left Israel - or did he still have a plan for Israel? Discuss God’s plan in 1 Samuel 2:1-10.

Part 5 - 1 Samuel chapter 5 - God acts against Philistia.

Read chapter 5, then discuss these questions:

(1) What is God’s opinion of images of false gods? Read Deuteronomy 5:1-10; Isaiah 44:9-20 and John 14:6. What do those passages teach us about false gods?

(2) Read Hebrews 10:29 and 1 Corinthians 6:19. What things does God consider holy today? What must we do in order to show proper respect to them?

(3) Read Psalm 19:1-6; Acts 17:26-31 and Romans 1:20. What evidence has God provided so that all people can know about his greatness? How did God show the people in Philistia that they had offended against the real God? Show how Philistia’s troubles became worse during the chapter. Read 1 Samuel 7:3. What should the people in Philistia have done when they recognised God’s anger against them? What did they actually do?

Part 6 - 1 Samuel chapter 6 - Philistia’s rulers return the ark to Israel.

Read chapter 6, then discuss these questions:

(1) Read 1 Samuel 5:1-5 and 1 Samuel 31:10. What kind of religion did people follow in Philistia? What was their opinion about Israel’s God? Read Deuteronomy 18:9-14. What is God’s opinion about these kinds of religion? In your opinion, why did the people in Philistia continue to serve false gods even after these events?

(2) Read Exodus 7:1-14 and Hebrews 3:7-12. What does the Bible mean by a ‘hard heart’? What kind of attitude is it describing? Read Ezekiel 36:26. What does God want to do for a person with a ‘hard heart’?

(3) Read about some other people who died because of their unholy actions towards God’s holy things: Leviticus 10:1-2; 2 Samuel 6:6-7; Acts 5:1-11. What is the right reaction when we read about such events? How should the fact that God is holy affect our lives? How can we respect God properly?

Part 7 - 1 Samuel chapter 7 - Israel’s people return to God.

Read chapter 7, then discuss these questions:

(1) What does 1 Samuel 7:3-4 tell us about the religion of Israel’s people at this time? What did Samuel advise them to do, and why? Compare this with Gideon’s actions in Judges 6:25-32.

(2) Discuss how hard it would be for the people to follow Samuel’s advice. How would it change their religion, their hopes and their beliefs? Many of these images would have been expensive. Discuss what Jesus taught about our attitude towards valuable things in Matthew 13:44-46.

(3) Discuss Samuel’s experience of prayer in this chapter. Compare it with Moses’ experience in Exodus 17:8-16. What do Luke 18:1-8 and James 5:16-18 teach about prayer?

(4) How was Samuel’s leadership of Israel similar to the judges in the Book of Judges? What did Samuel achieve during his years as Israel’s judge?

Part 8 - 1 Samuel chapter 8 - Israel’s people demand a king.

Read chapter 8, then discuss these questions:

(2) Read 1 Samuel 12:12 and 1 Samuel 11:11. Why did Israel’s people demand a king? What did they expect their king to achieve? Was it wrong for them to want a king?

(3) Read Proverbs chapter 2. What benefits can we gain from good advice? In what circumstances should we ask for advice? What should we do if we dislike advice? How can we check whether advice is correct or not?

(4) Compare Samuel’s words in 1 Samuel 8:10-18 with what actually happened in Israel. Read 1 Kings 12:1-14.

(4) This meal was one of a series of meals in 1 Samuel where the meat came from a sacrifice (a gift to God). Compare this meal with the ones in 1 Samuel 1:3-5 and 1 Samuel 16:1-13.

(5) Discuss how much Samuel depended on God in the selection of Israel’s king. What evidence of that is there in this chapter? Discuss how greatly we need to depend on God for help in the decisions of our lives. How can we do that?

Part 10 - 1 Samuel chapter 10 - Saul becomes Israel’s first king.

Read chapter 10, then discuss these questions:

(2) Why did nobody expect that Saul would be able to rescue Jabesh? Why were they wrong? Who gave Saul the power to rescue Israel?

(3) Prepare a list of each of the references to God in this chapter. How did God bring success against Ammon? How had God established Saul’s rule over Israel?

(4) Read about how Israel’s people were afraid of Nahash (12:12). Were they right to be afraid? Read about how God protects his people (Psalm 91). How can we trust God more?

Part 12 - 1 Samuel chapter 12 - Samuel’s last speech as Israel’s judge (leader).

Read chapter 12, then discuss these questions:

(1) Who were Israel’s judges (in the Book of Judges), and what work did God give them to do? Which judges does this chapter mention, and what did each of them achieve?

(2) What evidence did Samuel give that Israel’s people had not been loyal to God in the past? What evidence was there that they were still not loyal to him? Why were they wrong to demand a king? What did Samuel tell them that they must do now?

(2) Compare 1 Samuel 13:9-13 with 1 Samuel 9:6-10. What evidence is there that Saul was trying to pay God for his help? Is it ever possible to do that? Read 1 Samuel 15:22 and Micah 6:6-8. How should we behave when we need God’s help?

(3) Compare Saul’s attitudes in chapter 13 with his attitudes in chapter 11. In each chapter, what was he depending on to give him success? Why had his attitudes changed?

(4) Read again Samuel’s words in verses 13 and 14. What kind of government did God want to rule his people? What kind of king did God want? Compare your answer with the government and the king that Hannah spoke about in 1 Samuel 2:1-10.

Part 14 - 1 Samuel chapter 14 - Jonathan trusts God and wins the battle.

Read chapter 14, then discuss these questions:

(4) In verses 26-28, why did God remove Saul’s authority to rule Israel?

(5) Discuss the description of God’s character in verse 29. Compare that verse with James 1:17 and Hebrews 13:8. What is your reaction to the fact that God does not change? Also, discuss Exodus 34:6-7, which describes God’s perfect character.

Read chapter 19, then discuss these questions:

(1) What reasons did Jonathan give why Saul should not kill David? Read Proverbs 15:1-9. Discuss how Jonathan’s words showed true wisdom. Why do people so often choose to follow their emotions and not to accept wise advice? Why did Saul do that after he had promised not to kill David?

(2) If a person does not deal with his wrong emotions, they may soon cause him to make wicked plans. Show how this happened to Saul in this chapter.

Read chapter 25, then discuss these questions:

(1) Whose responsibility was it to pay David’s men for their work as guards? Why did David believe that he ought to attack Nabal and his servants? Whose rights was David trying to defend?

(2) Read 1 Corinthians 9:7-10. What does the Bible teach about a worker’s right to receive wages? Why then was David wrong to act as he did?

Read about how other people believed the same thing: Samuel (16:1-13), Israel’s women (18:7), Jonathan (23:17), David’s men (24:4) and Saul (24:20).

(2) Read some of the references to the robbers who lived in the desert south of Israel and Philistia (15:2; 15:33; 30:1-2). How did the actions of David’s men against those robbers benefit Israel’s people? How did Philistia’s people benefit? Why did David not want King Achish to know about these activities?

(3) Read 2 Samuel 15:18-21. Why do you think that so many people from Gath became loyal to David?

(4) Why did King Achish want Israel’s people to hate David? What in fact was the attitude of Israel’s people to David at this time? Read 1 Samuel 30:26.

(5) Read 1 Chronicles 12:1-22, which describes some of David’s group of 600 men.

Read chapter 29, then discuss these questions:

(1) Read 1 Samuel 27:8-11. What did David do to support Israel’s people while he lived in Philistia? Read 1 Samuel 24:6-13. Did David want to fight against Israel or against Saul? Why, then, did he try to join Philistia’s army? Read Romans 13:1-7. What is the right attitude for us to have towards the rulers of the countries where we live?

(2) For what reason did Philistia’s commanders refuse to allow David to fight? Do you think that, in fact, God was directing David’s actions? Compare this incident with the way that God stopped David’s attack on Nabal (25:30-34).

(3) Discuss Achish’s description of David’s character (verses 6-9). Does it agree with our knowledge about David from elsewhere in the Book of 1 Samuel? Find some Bible passages about the kind of character that God’s people should have (for example, Psalm 15; Ephesians 4:22-32; 2 Peter 1:5-7).

(3) Discuss why David decided to reward all his men after the battle. What does that show us about David’s character? Does God act in a similar manner? Read Matthew 20:1-16. What lesson was Jesus teaching in that passage? In what ways were David’s attitudes similar to the father’s attitudes in Luke 15:11-32?

Part 31 - 1 Samuel chapter 31 - Israel’s defeat and Saul’s death.

Read chapter 31, then discuss these questions:

(1) Read about David’s reaction to Saul’s death (2 Samuel 1:11-12). Also, read the sad song that he wrote (2 Samuel 1:17-27). What is the right reaction for us to have when an enemy suffers? Read Matthew 5:43-48.

(2) How did Philistia’s army express their happiness at the death of Saul? How did they give honour for their success to their (false) gods?

(3) Read 1 Samuel 11:1-11. Why did the inhabitants of Jabesh consider it so important to bury Saul’s body properly? Read David’s message to them in 2 Samuel 2:4-7.

(4) Saul’s death happened near the place that the Book of Revelation calls Armageddon. Read Revelation 16:16. Then read 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The defeat of wicked rulers is necessary to establish the rule of the king whom God has chosen. Who was that king at the end of 1 Samuel? Who is the king whom God has chosen in the Book of Revelation? Read Revelation 22:16.
