Guiding Questions: I Samuel 15

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What exactly was the “wrong” Amalek committed against the Israelites? Where in the Bible is the command to “utterly destroy” them?
  2. Is it fair to describe Saul as a “tragic hero?”
  3. Read I Samuel 15:21 and I Samuel 15:30. Do these verses remind you of anything in the Haggadah for Passover?
