WORSHIP NOTES Journey through the Bible The First King 1 Samuel 10:17-24 Later Samuel called all the people of Israel to meet before the Lord at Mizpah. And he said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has declared: I brought you from Egypt and rescued you from the Egyptians and from all of the nations that were oppressing you. But though I have rescued you from your misery and distress, you have rejected your God today and have said, ‘No, we want a king instead!’ Now, therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by tribes and clans.” So, Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel before the Lord, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot. Then he brought each family of the tribe of Benjamin before the Lord, and the family of the Matrites was chosen. And finally, Saul son of Kish was chosen from among them. But when they looked for him, he had disappeared! So, they asked the Lord, “Where is he?” And the Lord replied, “He is hiding among the baggage.” So they found him and brought him out, and he stood head and shoulders above anyone else. Then Samuel said to all the people, “This is the man the Lord has chosen as your king. No one in all Israel is like him!” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!” I. THE BOOK OF SAMUEL A.

12Th Tribe of Israel, Benjamin Page 2
Tribe of Benjamin Dimensions and Aspects of Power Genesis 35:18 A Ravenous Consumer Ben meaning son. Yamyim means right hand, right side, leg or eye of a person. Also means the south side, which is the more pleasant side. Means happy one, son of the happy one. Jacob changed the name of this son who was first named by Rachel, to Benjamin, meaning this is the son that came from the one who was as dear to me as my right hand. Benjamin was given two names. First, his mother named him Benoni. "And she called his name Benoni." Every one of the sons of Jacob was named by his mother. Benoni is taken from two root-words, ben and oni. Ben means "a son," and oni means "to exert oneself in vain, to come to naught, affliction, evil, false idols, iniquity, mischief, mourning, naught, sorrow, unjust and unrighteous, vanity and wickedness." The two parts together are "son of my oni," or perhaps, "son of my sorrow, son of my iniquity, son of my unrighteousness, son of my vanity, son of my false idols." When you understand this, you are seeing into the heart of dying Rachel. As I said earlier, the last words of' a dying person are very, very important. These were the very last words that Rachel spoke before she expired. When someone dies, their whole life comes up before them, and they remember every important detail. Certainly this was true in Rachel's case. In that moment, as she realized she was dying, she was remembering her own 'sins that had brought this terrible judgment and wrath of God upon her.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is King Saul of Israel. Though Saul is depicted negatively in the biblical narrative, carefiil examination of the Books of Samuel and part of the Book of Judges will not only reveal new clues suggesting a more favourable image of Saul, but will also provide a new insight into his reign as well as its effect on Israel long after his death. In contrast to his biblical image, such clues show Saul to have been a strong ruler who successfully united the various Israelite groups, a unity which was not to be achieved by any later leader.

1SA 9:3 Now the Donkeys Belonging to Saul's Father Kish Were Lost, And
Chasing Donkeys or Fighting Giants Week 1 1SA 9:3 Now the donkeys belonging to Saul's father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, "Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys." 4 So he passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha, but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them. The very first image we have of Saul, other than a basic physical description in 9:1 is that he is out chasing donkeys. Now that doesn’t seem to classy to us but possibly it was a bit of responsibility. He gets to take a servant to help out. Realistically though we need to ask why did the donkeys get lost and why so far away. Possibly it was God’s way of getting Saul to Samuel. Possible it was just bad farm management, maybe a thunderstorm scared them a bit. Hey we don’t know. It would be convenient if we had an idea so we could better judge Saul’s character. But a couple of things here. 1. Saul gets bad press. (He is always compared to David.) 2. At this stage – He is God’s man. But we do get some interesting insights and maybe a bit of a glimpse at his future leadership qualities. After hearing Samuel speak, seeing the prophecies come true, he doesn’t say anything.

Saul – Israel's First King
Lesson 2 • Week of Sept. 12, 2010 Saul – Israel’s First King 1 Samuel 9:15-21 15 Now the lord had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, 16 “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.” 17 So when Samuel saw Saul, the lord said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.” 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please tell me, where is the seer’s house?” 19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 “But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father’s house?” 21 And Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?” 1 Samuel 9:25-27 25 When they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the top of the house.

Chairman of Thesis ____________________________ Linda Granger, M.M. Committee Member ____________________________ Donald Fowler, Th.D. Committee Member ____________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Program Director ____________________________ Date AN INVESTIGATION OF ANCIENT HEBREW MUSIC 3 Abstract Music has always been an inextricable component of Jewish culture from its beginnings. Even before the construction of the Temple, music was used for worship, feasts, festivals, and various other cultural activities. Since much of this music involves the singing of texts, poetry was also a central part of the Jewish music culture. Singing in ancient Israel often involved instrumental accompaniment. The Bible records the texts of much musical activity. Instrumental music, vocal music, and accompanied vocal music are found throughout the Bible. Instrumental music is found in 1 Samuel 16 when David played his harp to soothe Saul and in 1 Samuel 19 when Saul tried to kill David when a troubling spirit came upon him. When men were coming back from battle in 1 Samuel 18, women played instruments and sang songs of David’s greatness.
