Guiding Questions: I Samuel 16

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Compare the criteria for Saul’s selection (I Samuel 9:2) with I Samuel 16:16-17 in this chapter.
  2. Check Genesis 25:25 for another biblical character who was called “Admoni.” Are there any similarities between these two individuals?
  3. What might “ruach elohim (ra’ah)” mean in the context that it affects Saul?
