Hello Braverhearts In today‘s lesson we hear that the Israelites want a human king! THEY DON’T WANT GOD AS THEIR KING
The people told SAMUEL that he was old and that his children weren’t good. That they wanted what other nations had…. A HUMAN KING
That made SAMUEL sad. He prayed to God and God told him to listen to the people and to WARN them about kings
Human kings weren’t always good, they would make the Israelites life HARD The king will take their best land, their cows, sheep, goats, donkeys and camels He would make them work hard and make them slaves AGAIN
BUT THEY STILL WANTED A KING
Why did this make Samuel sad? Because the people didn’t choose God as their King they wanted a human king
