In this
Book we have an account of
Eli, and the wickedness of
his sons; also of
Samuel, his character and actions. Then of the
advancement of
Saul to be the
King of
Israel, and his ill
behaviour, until his
Death made way for
David's succession to
the
Throne, who was an eminent
Type of
Christ.
David's patience,
modesty, constancy,
Persecution By open enemies and feigned
friends, are a pattern and
Example to the
Church, and to every
member of it. Many things in this
Book encourage the
Faith,
Hope, and patience of the suffering believer. It contains also
many useful cautions and awful warnings.
