Matthew on 1 Samuel 8 (개요)

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

F I R S T S A M U E L CHAP. VIII. Things went so very well with Israel, in the chapter before, under Samuel's administration, that, methinks, it is a pity to find him so quickly, as we do in this chapter, old, and going off, and things working towards a revolution. But so it is; Israel's good days seldom continue long. We have here, I. Samuel decaying, 1 Samuel 8:1 . II. His sons degenerating, 1 Samuel 8:2 ; 1 Samuel 8:3 . III. Israel discontented with the present government and anxious to see a change. For 1. They petition Samuel to set a king over them, 1 Samuel 8:4 ; 1 Samuel 8:5 . 2. Samuel brings the matter to God, 1 Samuel 8:6 . 3. God directs him what answer to give them, by way of reproof ( 1 Samuel 8:7 ; 1 Samuel 8:8 ), and by way of remonstrance, setting forth the consequences of a change of the government, and how uneasy they would soon be under it, 1 Samuel 8:9-18 . 4. They insist upon their petition, 1 Samuel 8:19 ; 1 Samuel 8:20 . 5. Samuel promises them, from God, that they shall shortly be gratified, 1 Samuel 8:21 ; 1 Samuel 8:22 . Thus hard is it for people to know when they are well off. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-3" class="com-number"
