Israel wanted a monarchy because Samuel had gotten old and his sons became judges over the people. But the Israelites did not approve of his sons’ ways. In the New King James Version of the Bible, the First Book of Samuel, Chapter 8, Verse 3 says “But his sons did not walk in [...]

For decades, the nation of Israel was content on having a series of judges serve as their immediate leaders. If ever in a time of crisis, these judges with God’s assistance would devise a strategic plan that would result in a great victory. The system of electing a judge whenever a problem arose was working [...]

Israel wanted a monarchy because they wanted to be like other nations. Israel insisted that they have a king; they did not want to be ruled by Samuel’s immoral sons. When Israel wanted Samuel to appoint a king, he is amazed. The Israelites were turning their backs away from God. [...]

A recurring formula in Judges is the same recurring formula that we see in televison shows that we enjoy to watch. The plot can be defined in five points:
• A new generation of Israelites neglects God and worships other deities.
• God punishes them through foreign oppression.
• The people repent and beg God to save them.
• God delivers the people [...]

Israel wanted a monarchy because every other nation had one. They did not want Samuel’s sons to become leaders because there were corrupted just like Eli’s sons.
