1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and
kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be
captain over his inheritance?
-
Note God relationship, The LORD and thou
shalt rule among the people of God, and thou
shalt save them out of the hand of their
enemies, and this shall be a sign unto thee,
that the LORD hath.
-
The eye of some ancient scribe evidently went
back to the latter of these two words "the LORD"
and accidentally omitted the words between them.
-
Captain = "a" captain; not "the".
2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by
Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto
thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath
left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for
my son?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of
Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth–el, one
carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another
carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt
receive of their hands.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the
Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city,
that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with
a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall
prophesy:
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with
them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion
serve thee; for God is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto
thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings:
seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt
do.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave
him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met
him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he
prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this
that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father?
Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he
said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to
Samuel.
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found.
But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh;
18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I
brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your
adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a
king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes,
and by your thousands.
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe
of Benjamin was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the
family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they
sought him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come
thither. And the Lord answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he
was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that
there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and
said, God save the king.
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a
book, and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every
man to his house.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men,
whose hearts God had touched.
27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they
despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
-
Belial = without profit, worthlessness,
destruction, wickedness: evil, naughty, ungodly
(men), wicked.
-
Belial = The meaning of this word as found in
the Scriptures is worthlessness,
and hence reckless, lawlessness.
-
Belial = The expression son or man of Belial
must be understood as meaning simply a
worthless, lawless fellow.
-
Belial = is generally understood as an
appellative of Satan, as the personification of
all that was bad.
-
2 Corinthians 6:15
And what
concord hath Christ
with Belial? or what part hath
he that believeth with an infidel?
-
16 And what agreement hath
the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I
will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will
be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you,
18
And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.
-
And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? By Belial, in this
text, very good interpreters understand the
devil; judging that the apostle here opposeth
Christ, who is the Head of
Believers and of the church.
-
To him Satan who is the
head of all unbelievers, and the god of
the world.
-
The term is used only in this place in the New
Testament, but very often in the Old Testament,
to express men notoriously wicked and scandalous
-
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.
-
John 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye
are from beneath; I am from above:
ye are of this world;
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
