1 Samuel Videos

What this page covers

Where the videos go in 1 Samuel

The 4 videos here reach 2 of the 6 movements in 1 Samuel: “A Barren Woman and a Boy Who Hears” (1 Samuel 1–7) and “Two Chances, and a Night at Endor” (1 Samuel 28–31). Others take the book as a whole.

A Barren Woman and a Boy Who Hears (1 Samuel 1–7). Hannah prays so hard the priest thinks she is drunk, and the son she is given she gives back. Samuel grows up in a house where Eli’s sons steal from the offerings and sleep with the women at the door. A voice calls the boy three times in the night, and the word of the LORD, which had been rare, stops being rare.

Two Chances, and a Night at Endor (1 Samuel 28–31). Twice David has Saul at the end of a blade, once in a cave and once asleep in his own camp, and both times he takes a piece of cloth or a spear instead of a life. He hides among the Philistines, loses his town and family at Ziklag and takes them back. Saul, with Samuel dead and heaven silent, goes to a medium at Endor, and dies the next day on Gilboa with his sons.
