12 From the Book of 1 Samuel is: 1 Samuel 14
- How was it that Jonathan was so courageous? Cf. Verse 6 with 2 Ch. 14:11; 1 Sa. 2:9, 10
- What indications do you find of Saul's impatience, and how did it lead him to hasty and wrong decisions? Yet what evidence is there that with all his self-will Saul was anxious not to offend the Lord? How do you account for this?
Notes
- Verse 6. 'The Lord will work for us': the Old Testament is full of the God who acts in different ways. Cf. 1 Ki. 8:32; Je. 14:7; Ps. 22: 30, 31.
- Verse 24. Saul's purpose was probably religious, viz, by fasting to obtain God's favor.
