Dust to Glory 14

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel contain fascinating stories of the lives of such signifi-

cant individuals as Samuel, David, and Saul. During this period of crisis and defeat

in Israel’s history, God raised up godly heroes for His people. Yet God also grieved

as His people rejected His rule again and sought an earthly king to rule over them.

The corrupt history of Israel’s monarchy is the sad consequence of Israel’s rebellion

against their divine king. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the book of 1 Samuel.
