♣ What is the context for the sin (i.e. what is going on that leads up to Saul’s sin?) ϖ Prior to Saul’s sin, the Israelites and Philistines are at war with each other. Saul defeats the Philistines; however, the Philistines muster up 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen along with many other troops. The Israelites become scared and go into hiding. Samuel does not come as he promised and Saul is anxious.
♣ What is Saul’s sin in this chapter? ϖ Saul’s sin in this chapter that he does not wait for Samuel and burns the offering of well-being. Saul was not a Levite and was not authorized to make an offering.
♣ On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being least serious and 10 being most serious) how would you rate the seriousness of Saul’s sin and why? ϖ I would …show more content…
ϖ Saul responds by giving Samuel pious excuse. He lies and says that he took the best spoils of war so that he may sacrifice them to God.
♣ What is the consequence of the sin? ϖ The consequence of Saul’s sin is being called out by Samuel and he says that being obedient is better than sacrificing. His disobedience and rejecting of God’s word results in him being rejected as king.
♣ Does the consequence correspond to the seriousness of the sin in your view? Why/why not? ϖ I believe that both of Saul’s sins are similar in what he does and the consequences. Because he disobeyed and rejected God’s word, he becomes rejected. It seems harsh for the mind of one in the 21st century, however, it seems consistent to the time period. This is Saul’s second sin and he continues to disobey Samuel and God’s commands.

One day David was up on the roof of his house looking out and saw a woman bathing on the roof. This may seem unusual, but back in their time, this was the only private place for women to bathe as no man would be able to see on the roof. Except for David, who could be considered a peeping
