To whomever it concerns: I would like to point out that I am in no way, shape or form a Preacher. I am not formally educated in the Holy Bible. Yes, I have read and studied it since I was very young, but I do not consider that an 'education' like that of a registered Preacher.

I am NOT able to share everything about every verse/chapter. In fact, there are MUCH deeper studies that I don't share. 1. Because there isn't enough room to write and 2. Alot of the studies can branch into even deeper studies with even more information. What I am able to share, is only a tiny, tiny seed of information.

Where do I get my Bible Info? I listen to online Bible studies: Pastor Arnold and Dennis Murray as well as read a Study-Bible daily.

I am still learning and will always study the Bible. But that is a personal habit.

Please, going forward, understand that (not just for myself, but with all preachers/teachers) people are not perfect, and mistakes are made.

Nothing about me, just an 'every-other-day-or-so' updated Bible Study for anyone interested.

*** I use an old KJV (study) bible for all these studies. When you see added notes/details under verses, they are either things learned in Bible Studies by the Pastors I listen to or (more often) notes from my personal KJV (study type) Bible.

Last of the Theocracy (a nation controlled by the Levitical Priesthood and via God Himself) to a Monarchy.

*Man has always wanted to be ruled by a king (flesh and blood/ someone that can see). But Mankind can NOT produce a King that is perfect: i.e. That can rule man.

Books, chapters and verses to keep in mind while reading chapter:

[8] Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

[9] Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

-1 Samuel 17:13, “And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.”
-“Shammah”= Shimeah (2 Samuel 13:3, “But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.”) & Shimma (1 Chronicles 2:13, “ And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third,”)

*-1 Samuel 9:17, “And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.”

[13] Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

-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?”

[14] But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

[15] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

[16] Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

-verse 23
2 Kings 3:15, “But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.”

[17] And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

[18] Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

-1 Samuel 17:32-36, “And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.[33] And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.[34] And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:[35] And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.[36] Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.”

-1 Samuel 3:19, “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.”
18:12 +14, “And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.[14] And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.”

[19] Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

-verse 11
1 Samuel 17:15 and 34, “But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.[34] And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:”

17:18, “And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.”

[21] And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

-Genesis 41:46, “And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt”
Proverbs 22:29, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”

[22] And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

[23] And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
