Samuel has been the Judge and main Prophet of the Hebrews for most of his life, but now that he is getting older, the Hebrew elders insist he gives them a king. Samuel hates the idea, but God tells him ‘give them what they want..’. Some time later Samuel anoints the young Saul to be the first King of the Hebrews, but once Saul takes charge, he soon ‘forgets’ to stay tuned to the prophet. Samuel should continue to speak God’s word into the King’s ear, but Saul is too busy ‘being king’. If only Saul had ears to hear!
