Devotional Article (3) on the book of 1and 2 Samuel

Devotional Article (3) on the book of 1and 2 Samuel

Through the reading of 1 Samuel 4 is discussing the Philistines capture the ark. I just want to focus on the verse 3 says “when the soldiers returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, ‘why did the Lord bring defeat upon us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Shiloh, so that it may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies.”

When we think about this happening these people make the problem before God. These guys create their own problem and have to be a helper from God. They wanted to stay and help them with God. They thought that if God is presence with them, the Ark of the Covenant, would be sufficiently to give upon them the help which they required in the day of battle. This Ark of the Covenant was with the Jew the most sacred instrument of his religion. There were many other things which he held holy but this ark always put in the most holy place.

This is the only one they have to take care and bring back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim. When I read the following of verse 3 the people went to the Shiloh and they brought the Ark of the covenant. When the ark of the covenant with them the people were so happy and shouting. The voice of the Israel was heard by the Philistines. So they were afraid.
I have observed in this happening. The faith is to be carefully and respectfully. We can find the people here, who did not care for God, had a very superstitious regarding for that box called the ark of the covenant. Those who trust in the external belief, apart from the spirit of it, are fearfully deceived, and the result of their cheating must be of the most fatal character.

Devotional Article (4)

The book of Samuel seems to be the life of Samuel. Though Samuel is the title of the book it is all about the events of Israel. But the interesting thing and encourage me the life of Prophet Samuel, Hannah, Saul and David. Samuel was chosen by God to be a Prophet of Israel and who will proclaim the word of God. Samuel, who was dedicated to the service of the Lord before his birth, became a prophet. He anointed the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David.

The one thing I was interesting on Hannah’s life. Samuel’s mother dedicates Samuel to the Lord I Samuel 1:21-22 “ When the man Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow, Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the Lord, and he will live there always.” Hannah’s life was bitter by the mocking of Peninnah, the woman who shared her husband’s name with her. Even though the Bible tells us that Hannah was the best loved wife of Elkanah, Peninnah, would make fun of Hannah because she had no children, making life almost unbearable. But Hannah prayed earnestly to God for a child. And she promised God that if He gave her a son, she would consecrate him to the Lord’s service all his life. It was in answer to her prayer that Samuel, the prophet , priest of Israel was born to her.

Hannah’s life good is to learn and good example for the Christian. There’s no doubt that Hannah wept when she left her first born at the House of God. But since she had made that promise to God, she kept her promise. As a result, God rewarded and more blessing to Hannah’s life.

Ditty (4)

According to the book of I Samuel, Saul was anointed by Samuel to be a king of Israel initially. And then the secondary David was anointed by Samuel to be a king of Israel as well. Technically Saul was the first king of Israel and David was the second to be king of Israel. This hint gives to know more about the king of Israel. Before there were no king in Israel then Israel ask for a king. God is a ruler. God controls the Israel. Israel could not choose their own king, but rather God would choose the king for them.

My answer is the first king of Israel was Saul who was anointed by the prophet Samuel and reigned from Gibeah according to Hebrew Bible. Traditionally Saul was the first king of Israel. When we go back to the life of Saul was the son of Kish, of the family of the Matrites, and a member of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve Tribes of Israel. The father of Saul is Kish who commanded Saul to go and put their lost donkeys. Saul obeys and Samuel sees him walking to him. God reveals to Samuel that Saul will be the one to be anointed as the first King of Israel. This sentence mentioned that who was the first king of Israel. When we see the life of Saul becoming the first anointed King of Israel is to be found in 1 Samuel chapters 9 and 10. God anointed Saul as the King of Israel. To be sure Saul was the first anointed King of Israel.

Some scholars say Saul was not the first human king. Some say Abimelech was the first human king. But Saul was the first human king correctly anointed by God. As the book of Samuel mentioned Saul was the first king of Israel.

BI 151 Journal Book Review 5

Title of the Article: The Sense of the Text and a new vision

About the Author:

Frederick John Bolton was born before 1848.1 He married Susan Bray, daughter of William Pope Bray and Jane Davis, on 14 March 1868.1 Susan Bray was born in 1853 at Cornwall, Eng.1,2 She was the daughter of William Pope Bray and Jane Davis.1 Susan Bray immigrated in 1857 to Brisbane, Qld, Aust; Arrived on the ship Ascendant with her family.

Bibliographic Data: “SEMEIA” An Experimental For Biblical Criticism (the book of Job and Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics, 1981).

Outline of the Article

1) The Introduction of the text and a new vision
2) Understanding on Ricoeur’s theory
3) The correction of David Pellauer
4) Conclusion

The Article all about:

The Journal discussed about the sense of the text and a new vision. Which give the impression the history of clarification which the book of Job shows more the commentators than of the text itself as sense and reference.

David Pallauer gives us of the hesitant character of the text of this book. On the other hand as it stands there is universal application and meaning in the text. It is in its present appearance that shocks us and in this form that we too struggle with just this text? What is the shock which requires that successive generations of commentators feel the need to struggle with it, and so reveal themselves to future.

We can see in the book Job 38 we have the core of the chock. That distress lies specifically in the symbolic shock presented by the brief and the speech of the voice out of the brief to Job. Here all subjectivity is aroused and forced into the open. Here, what has been formed in any era and comes to the text is put to test and into crisis. Only such a subjectivity in crisis can be a learning and receptive subjectivity. The interpreter is clarified by the text itself as it confronts him with the limit inherent in his own conceptuality, reasserts the noetic significance of live metaphor itself, and stimulates theological reconstruction.

As this is very interesting part of the article, the most interesting part is Mr. Pellauer’s paper is his invitation to Ricoeur to clarify the condition for failure of text to have meaning. Possibly such clarification would make for greater precision with meaningful tests. In such development, one would want to know if there were more to be accounted for than loss of historical or psychi referents or the emptying of primary metaphors in the processes of time and cultural change. Possibly the history of transformations of the human self provides clues to such conditions. Exegesis probably begins on the assumption that every test meant something and still does. As superstitious approach to inscriptions is not of interest to Paul Ricoeur. The conditions of exegetical impossibility could point up important assumptions and concerns for critical theory.
