Season 2 Episode 156
We explore the dramatic events surrounding Israel's demand for a king. We begin with the Philistines capturing the ark of the covenant and experiencing divine retribution until they return it to Israel. Samuel leads a spiritual revival, urging the Israelites to turn away from idols and serve Yahweh alone. However, as Samuel ages, his corrupt sons take over as judges, prompting the Israelites to demand a king to rule over them like other nations. Despite Samuel's warnings about the consequences, the people insist, and God instructs Samuel to grant their request.
