25. A king’s behavior:
-Take your sons for his chariots, horsemen, and
to run before the chariots
-Captains over 1,000’s, over 50’s
-Make them plow his ground, reap his harvest
-Make his weapons of war, equipment for
chariots
-Make daughters into perfumers, cooks, bakers
-Take best of fields, vineyards, olive groves
-Take 1/10th of grain and vintage for officers
and servants
-Take male, female servants
-Take finest young men, donkeys, make ‘em
work
-Take 1/10th of sheep
-You will be his servants
-You will cry out.

So…they did it! All the Baals, Ashtoreths, gone!V5 – Gather to Mizpah – and I will pray….they fasted….confessed, “We have sinneed” and Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah – FIND ON MAPDUN DUNDUN
When Philistines heard Israel was at Mizpah….they decided to head up that awy. Israel got scared….they said,
Samuel took a suckling lamb…and offered it…. And the Lord answered
WHILE Samuel was offering the offering – Philistines drew near to battle against…
…BUT the Lordthundred with a loud thunder….and confused them
So Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued them – and drew them as far back as below Beth Car.
Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen – and called it Ebenezer – thus far the Lord has helped us:Philistines were subdued. No more into territory of IsraelAll the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored from Ekron to GathPeace between Israel and AmoritesSamuel was a judge his whole life – on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, always returning to Ramah, for his home was there. There he built an altar
Who had it ?? WhenBethel GilgalMizpah - Ramah
When Samuel was old – he made his sons Judges.JOEL was firstborn.Judges in Beersheba….bad guys
Dishonest gain, took bribes, perverted justice
ELDERS OF ISRAEL
They haven’t rejected you, but me.HEED
“But the thing displeased Samuel, so samuel prayed”
