Read 1 Samuel 12.1-18. In 1.1-25: Samuel's farewell. In verse 3: words are reminiscent of Moses' in Num 16.15: and contrast with the "ways of the king": that he listed in Sam 8.6-1: This long retrospective on Israel's history expresses the opinions and concerns of the deuteronomistic editor. In verses 13-15: Even though the people's request for a king evinced a lack of faith, they and their king can still prosper as long as they serve the Lord. In verses 16-18: The wheat harvest was in early summer. The lack of rain was a threat to the crops. Thus, this miracle shows the Lord's response to Samuel and hints at his displeasure with the people. Comments or Questions..
