1 Samuel 1:3, DISCOVERY AT SHILO
• DISCOVERY AT SHILO - SHOWS IT WAS SACKED BY THE PHILISTINES, By
Gil Ronen (Arutz Sheva News)
• “A new archeological find at ancient Shilo fits in with the Biblical
narrative regarding the war at Even Ha'ezer, and could confirm
scholars' conjectures as to how Shilo was destroyed.
• The First Book of Samuel does not say when and how Shilo, which served
as the Israelite capital for 369 years, was destroyed. The latest
archeological find at the Shilo site - a broken vase and remains of ashes
from a fire - indicate large scale destruction. The remains are from the
same period in which the War of Even Ha'ezer against the Philistines was
waged.
• Israel suffered a crushing defeat in that war, which is believed to have
been waged near present-day Afek. The two sons of Eli the High Priest
were killed, and Eli himself died upon hearing the news. Worst of all, the
Holy Ark, which the Israelites had brought to the battleground, was
taken by the Philistines.
• Archeologists and scholars now have more evidence to back the
assumption that after defeating the Israelites at Even Ha'ezer, the
Philistines advanced upon Shilo and sacked it.
• Other Biblical passages, in Psalms and Jeremiah, confirm that Shilo was
destroyed by Philistines.”
Genesis 49:10...Until Shiloh comes
• Ancient Shiloh May Have Burned
• Recent archaeological findings in Samaria, Israel shed
light on the incomplete story of the destruction of
Shiloh, the ancient capital of Israel. An uncovered
broken clay pitcher lying in a layer of reddish ashes was
discovered near the ancient site where the Mishkan,
the Tabernacle, was placed during the Judges period.
Shiloh essentially served as Israel's capital in the 13th
century BC and as the spiritual center in Israel for 369
years until its destruction. The new archaeological
finding indicates that a devastating fire occurred on the
site. The dating of the clay pitcher, 1050 BCE,
correlates with the dating of the events depicted in
Book of Samuel.

1 Samuel 1:3, Who Is The LORD
Sabbaoth, The LORD Of Hosts?
• NAU 1 Samuel 1:3 Now this man would go up
from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to
the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of
Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the
LORD there.
• This phrase (1st use here) is used extensively by
Malachi (24 X’s), Isaiah (49 X’s), Zechariah (53 X’s),
and Jeremiah (71 X’s).

WHO IS THE LORD SABBAOTH?
In Hebrew Bible by Ewelina Drela
• “In a Christian hymn “A Mighty Fortress is our God”, in still
comprehensible English, the translator of the original German
version used this very wording: “Lord Sabaoth, His name, from
age to age the same, and He must win the battle.”
• I once attended a church service where the worshipers were told
not to be confused – the Lord Sabaoth simply referred to the
Lord of the Sabbath! Such statement is simply not accurate as we
will see.
• In Isaiah 6 we read that the great prophet heard angels call out
to each other: “Holy, Holy, Holy is Adodai Tsvaot!” ( ‫ֹוׁש‬ ֛‫ד‬ ָ‫ק‬‫ֹוׁש‬ ֖‫ד‬ ָ‫ק‬
‫ָ֣ה‬ָ‫ְהו‬‫י‬‫ֹות‬ ֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫צ‬ ). The last two words make up a phrase “Adonai
Tsvaot” – “Lord God Almighty, the Lord of Hosts or Lord
Sabbaoth” as it is sometimes translated. The very last word is
“tsvaot” (‫ֹות‬ ֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫.)צ‬ The word “tsava” (֑֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫)צ‬ means “army” and
together with the 8
WHO IS THE LORD SABBAOTH?
In Hebrew Bible by Ewelina Drela
• plural feminine ending “ot” (‫ֹֹות‬) we get “of the armies.” More
literal translation, therefore, is “Lord of the armies”.
• Nothing illustrates this use better than the example of Joshua
meeting the ultimate Messenger of the LORD in Joshua 5.
When Joshua first saw this Great Warrior, he inquired if he
was for “them” or for their enemies. The answer he got was
simply – no. Not letting Joshua wonder too long the Heavenly
Warrior added, “for I have come as the Commander of the
Army of the LORD.”
• Israel’s God is not satisfied with simply assisting Israel’s army
(fighting on her side). He will lead Israel into battle Himself.
He is the Lord Sabbaoth – the Lord of Israel’s Armies.”

1 SAMUEL 1:10
• Jerusalem Inspiration, “At the beginning of the Book of Samuel,
Chana is heartbroken that she has no children, and goes to the
Tabernacle in Shiloh to pray. The Tabernacle stood in Shiloh for
369 years before it was moved to the building of the Holy Temple
in Jerusalem. During that time it served as the central point for
Jewish service to God. Unfortunately, many of the Children of
Israel ignored it. However, Chana and her husband Elkana, who
were very pious people, made pilgrimages there three times
yearly. While praying in the Sanctuary, Chana poured out her soul
as she wept and beseeched God to make her fertile, and God
heard her heartfelt prayers and answered them. She dedicated her
son, the prophet Samuel, to the Lord in thanksgiving. Established
in 1978, modern-day Shiloh is a thriving Jewish community, near
where the Tabernacle stood and where Chana prayed for a child. It
is also a center of healing for children who are victims of terror.
God continues to hear the prayers of His children in Shiloh.”
1 Samuel 1:12, “Praying”
• NAU 1 Samuel 1:12 Now it came about, as she
continued praying before the LORD, that Eli
was watching her mouth.
• First of only 35 uses of the word “praying” in
the NAU
• Billy Graham once said, “Every day has exactly
1,440 minutes; can’t you find even ten of them
to be with your heavenly Father? Doesn’t God
deserve the best minutes of your day?”

followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
• NAU Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock! His work is

1 Samuel 2:8, Our Joy
• NAU 1 Samuel 2:8 "He raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit
with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars
of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on
them.
• Chuck Swindoll, “Joy is a choice. It's a matter of
attitude that stems from one's confidence in God- that
He is at work, that He is in full control, that He is in the
midst of whatever has happened, is happening and
will happen. Either we fix our minds on that and
determine to laugh again, or we wail and whine our
way through life. We determine which way we will
go.”
1 Samuel 2:8, God’s Universe
• 1 Chronicles 16:26 For all the gods of the peoples are
idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
• Nehemiah 9:6 "You alone are the LORD. You have
made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all
their host, The earth and all that is on it, The seas and
all that is in them. You give life to all of them And the
heavenly host bows down before You.
• Luke 4:5 And he led Him up and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world [not kosmos, oikoumene, 1) the inhabited
earth,… 2) the universe, the world…] …
• “This is God's universe and he does things his way.
Now, you may have a better way of doing things, but
you don't have a universe.” -- J. Vernon McGee
1 Samuel 2:12, Know The Lord
• NAU 1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were
worthless men; they did not know the LORD
• “Knowing the Bible is one thing. Knowing the
author another.” Unknown
• However, we need to know Him through His
Word also so that we are not deceived by the
father of lies;
• NAU 2 Corinthians 11:14 …even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light.

1 Samuel 2:25, Intercessors
• NAU 1 Samuel 2:25 "If one man sins against another, God
will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD,
who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to
the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them
to death.
• Gen 40:8…Then Joseph said to them, "Do not
interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams."
• He didn’t say, “Pray and fast and maybe God will explain.”

you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the
Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have
buried your husband are at the door, and they shall
carry you out as well." 10 And she fell immediately
at his feet, and breathed her last… 11 And great fear
came upon the whole church, and upon all who
heard of these things. 12 And at the hands of the
apostles many signs and wonders were taking place
among the people… 13 But none of the rest dared
to associate with them; however, the people held
them in high esteem.

gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or
the wonder comes true, concerning which he
spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other
gods (whom you have not known) and let us
serve them,' 3 you shall not listen to the
words of that prophet or that dreamer of
dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you
to find out if you love the LORD your God with
all your heart and with all your soul.

1 Samuel 3:10, God Spoke To Him
• 1 Samuel 3:10 Then the LORD came and stood
and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!"
And Samuel said, "Speak, for Your servant is
listening."
• Deborah Hough tells, “My 3-year-old son, Ian,
enjoys the Bible story about Samuel hearing God's
voice at night. One evening after reading the story
to Ian, I asked him if God had ever spoken to him.
To my surprise, he answered, “Yes." "What did
God say to you?" I asked. Ian thought and then
said in his deepest voice,
• "Ian! Go to bed!"
• That explained why Ian settles down more quickly
when I'm outside his room and tell him to go to
bed.”

cannot see My face, for no man can see Me
and live!" 21 Then the LORD said, "Behold,
there is a place by Me, and you shall stand
there on the rock;

from the power of our enemies.”
• Like a talisman or lucky charm?

1 Samuel 4:3-7:2, Ark of the Covenant,
New translation of Hebrew text reveals legend of Ark of the Covenant
• foxnews.com/science New translation of Hebrew text reveals legend of Ark of the Covenant
• A newly translated Hebrew tells a tale claiming to reveal where treasures from King Solomon's temple were hidden and discusses the fate of the Ark of the Covenant itself.
• But unlike the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the text leaves the exact location of the Ark unclear and states that it, and the other treasures, "shall not be revealed until the
day of the coming of the Messiah son of David " putting it out of reach of any would-be treasure seeker. But don't put on your Indiana Jones costume just yet; the text's translator says the
book is likely just early Jewish folklore.
• King Solomon's Temple, also called the First Temple, was plundered and torched by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C., according to the Hebrew Bible. The Ark
of the Covenant is a chest that, when originally built, was said to have held tablets containing the 10 commandments. It was housed in Solomon's Temple, a place that contained many
different treasures. [Religious Mysteries: 8 Alleged Relics of Jesus]
• The newly translated text, called "Treatise of the Vessels" (Massekhet Kelim in Hebrew), says the "treasures were concealed by a number of Levites and prophets," writes James Davila, a
professor at the University of St. Andrews, in an article in the book "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha More Noncanonical Scriptures Volume 1" (William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2013).
• "Some of these (treasures) were hidden in various locations in the Land of Israel and in Babylonia, while others were delivered into the hands of the angels Shamshiel, Michael, Gabriel and
perhaps Sariel " writes Davila in his article.
• The treatise is similar in some ways to the metallic "Copper Scroll," one of the Dead Sea Scrolls found near the site of Qumran in the West Bank. The Copper Scroll also discusses the location
of hidden treasure, although not from Solomon's Temple.
• The treatise describes the treasures in an imaginative way. One part refers to "seventy-seven tables of gold, and their gold was from the walls of the Garden of Eden that was revealed to
Solomon, and they radiated like the radiance of the sun and moon, which radiate at the height of the world."
• The oldest confirmed example of the treatise, which survives to present day, is from a book published in Amsterdam in 1648 called "Emek Halachah." In 1876, a scholar named Adolph
Jellinek published another copy of the text, which was virtually identical to the 1648 version. Davila is the first to translate the text fully into English.
• A story of legends
The writer of the text likely was not trying to convey factual locations of the hidden treasures of Solomon's Temple, but rather was writing a work of fiction, based on different legends,
Davila told LiveScience. [In Photos: Amazing Ruins of the Ancient World]
• "The writer draws on traditional methods of scriptural exegesis [interpretation] to deduce where the treasures might have been hidden, but I think the writer was approaching the story as
a piece of entertaining fiction, not any kind of real guide for finding the lost Temple treasures," he wrote in the email.
• The structure of the story is confusing. In the prologue it states that Shimmur the Levite (he doesn't appear to be a biblical figure) and his companions hid the treasures, "but later on the
text mentions the treasures being in the keeping of or hidden by Shamshiel and other angels," Davila said. "I suspect the author collected various legends without too much concern about
making them consistent."
• Similarities to the Copper Scroll
The Copper Scroll, which dates back around 1,900 years, and is made of copper, shows several "striking parallels" with the newly translated treatise, Davila said.
• The treatise says that the treasures from Solomon's Temple were recorded "on a tablet of bronze," a metal like the Copper Scroll. Additionally, among other similarities, the Treatise of the
Vessels and Copper Scroll both refer to "vessels" or "implements," including examples made of gold and silver.
• These similarities could be a coincidence or part of a tradition of recording important information on metal.
• "My guess is that whoever wrote the Treatise of Vessels came up with the same idea [of writing a treasure list on metal] coincidentally on their own, although it is not unthinkable that the
writer knew of some ancient tradition or custom about inscribing important information on metal," wrote Davila in the email, noting that metal is a more durable material than parchment
or papyrus.
• An ongoing story
The study of the treatise is ongoing, and discoveries continue to be made. For instance, in the mid-20th century a copy of it (with some variations) was discovered and recorded in Beirut,
Lebanon, at the end of a series of inscribed plates that record the Book of Ezekiel.
• Those plates are now at the Yad Ben Zvi Institute in Israel, although the plates containing the treatise itself are now missing. Recent research has revealed, however, these plates were
created in Syria at the turn of the 20th century, about 100 years ago, suggesting the treatise was being told in an elaborate way up until relatively modern times.

What Is The Bible’s Central Theme? • Acts 3:24 "And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also announced these days. • NAU Hebrews 11:32 …I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, • NAU Acts 13:20 "After these things He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. Why study 1 Samuel?

  • 5. 1 Samuel 1:3, DISCOVERY AT SHILO • DISCOVERY AT SHILO - SHOWS IT WAS SACKED BY THE PHILISTINES, By Gil Ronen (Arutz Sheva News) • “A new archeological find at ancient Shilo fits in with the Biblical narrative regarding the war at Even Ha'ezer, and could confirm scholars' conjectures as to how Shilo was destroyed. • The First Book of Samuel does not say when and how Shilo, which served as the Israelite capital for 369 years, was destroyed. The latest archeological find at the Shilo site - a broken vase and remains of ashes from a fire - indicate large scale destruction. The remains are from the same period in which the War of Even Ha'ezer against the Philistines was waged. • Israel suffered a crushing defeat in that war, which is believed to have been waged near present-day Afek. The two sons of Eli the High Priest were killed, and Eli himself died upon hearing the news. Worst of all, the Holy Ark, which the Israelites had brought to the battleground, was taken by the Philistines. • Archeologists and scholars now have more evidence to back the assumption that after defeating the Israelites at Even Ha'ezer, the Philistines advanced upon Shilo and sacked it. • Other Biblical passages, in Psalms and Jeremiah, confirm that Shilo was destroyed by Philistines.”
  • 6. Genesis 49:10...Until Shiloh comes • Ancient Shiloh May Have Burned • Recent archaeological findings in Samaria, Israel shed light on the incomplete story of the destruction of Shiloh, the ancient capital of Israel. An uncovered broken clay pitcher lying in a layer of reddish ashes was discovered near the ancient site where the Mishkan, the Tabernacle, was placed during the Judges period. Shiloh essentially served as Israel's capital in the 13th century BC and as the spiritual center in Israel for 369 years until its destruction. The new archaeological finding indicates that a devastating fire occurred on the site. The dating of the clay pitcher, 1050 BCE, correlates with the dating of the events depicted in Book of Samuel. - Algemeiner, Koinonia House Inc.
  • 7. 1 Samuel 1:3, Who Is The LORD Sabbaoth, The LORD Of Hosts? • NAU 1 Samuel 1:3 Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there. • This phrase (1st use here) is used extensively by Malachi (24 X’s), Isaiah (49 X’s), Zechariah (53 X’s), and Jeremiah (71 X’s). • <06635> ‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ָ‫צ‬tsaba )… • Meaning: army, war, warfare 7
  • 8. WHO IS THE LORD SABBAOTH? In Hebrew Bible by Ewelina Drela • “In a Christian hymn “A Mighty Fortress is our God”, in still comprehensible English, the translator of the original German version used this very wording: “Lord Sabaoth, His name, from age to age the same, and He must win the battle.” • I once attended a church service where the worshipers were told not to be confused – the Lord Sabaoth simply referred to the Lord of the Sabbath! Such statement is simply not accurate as we will see. • In Isaiah 6 we read that the great prophet heard angels call out to each other: “Holy, Holy, Holy is Adodai Tsvaot!” ( ‫ֹוׁש‬ ֛‫ד‬ ָ‫ק‬‫ֹוׁש‬ ֖‫ד‬ ָ‫ק‬ ‫ָ֣ה‬ָ‫ְהו‬‫י‬‫ֹות‬ ֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫צ‬ ). The last two words make up a phrase “Adonai Tsvaot” – “Lord God Almighty, the Lord of Hosts or Lord Sabbaoth” as it is sometimes translated. The very last word is “tsvaot” (‫ֹות‬ ֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫.)צ‬ The word “tsava” (֑֑‫א‬ ָ‫ב‬ ְ‫)צ‬ means “army” and together with the 8
  • 9. WHO IS THE LORD SABBAOTH? In Hebrew Bible by Ewelina Drela • plural feminine ending “ot” (‫ֹֹות‬) we get “of the armies.” More literal translation, therefore, is “Lord of the armies”. • Nothing illustrates this use better than the example of Joshua meeting the ultimate Messenger of the LORD in Joshua 5. When Joshua first saw this Great Warrior, he inquired if he was for “them” or for their enemies. The answer he got was simply – no. Not letting Joshua wonder too long the Heavenly Warrior added, “for I have come as the Commander of the Army of the LORD.” • Israel’s God is not satisfied with simply assisting Israel’s army (fighting on her side). He will lead Israel into battle Himself. He is the Lord Sabbaoth – the Lord of Israel’s Armies.” 9
  • 10. 1 Samuel 1:6, Do Not Provoke Them • NAU 1 Samuel 1:6 Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.
  • 11. 1 Samuel 1:6, Do Not Provoke Them
  • 12. • Jerusalem Daily Photo, A sunrise over Tel Shiloh, an ancient city in Israel's Biblical heartland. Photo courtesy of Tel Shiloh. 12 1 SAMUEL 1:10
  • 13. • Jerusalem Inspiration, “At the beginning of the Book of Samuel, Chana is heartbroken that she has no children, and goes to the Tabernacle in Shiloh to pray. The Tabernacle stood in Shiloh for 369 years before it was moved to the building of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. During that time it served as the central point for Jewish service to God. Unfortunately, many of the Children of Israel ignored it. However, Chana and her husband Elkana, who were very pious people, made pilgrimages there three times yearly. While praying in the Sanctuary, Chana poured out her soul as she wept and beseeched God to make her fertile, and God heard her heartfelt prayers and answered them. She dedicated her son, the prophet Samuel, to the Lord in thanksgiving. Established in 1978, modern-day Shiloh is a thriving Jewish community, near where the Tabernacle stood and where Chana prayed for a child. It is also a center of healing for children who are victims of terror. God continues to hear the prayers of His children in Shiloh.”
  • 14. 1 Samuel 1:12, “Praying” • NAU 1 Samuel 1:12 Now it came about, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth. • First of only 35 uses of the word “praying” in the NAU • Billy Graham once said, “Every day has exactly 1,440 minutes; can’t you find even ten of them to be with your heavenly Father? Doesn’t God deserve the best minutes of your day?” 14
  • 16. 16
  • 17. 1 Samuel 2:2, Our God “Rock” • NAU 1 Samuel 2:2 "There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. • NKJ 1 Corinthians 10:4 …that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. • NAU Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. 17
  • 18. 1 Samuel 2:2, Our God “rock” • NAU Deuteronomy 32:15 …he forsook God who made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation. [John 1:3, Colossians 1:16] • NAU Deuteronomy 32:18 "You neglected the Rock who begot you, And forgot the God who gave you birth. • NAU 2 Samuel 22:3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge… My savior… [Isa 43:11] • NAU 2 Timothy 1:10 …by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus… 18
  • 19. 1 Samuel 2:8, Our Joy • NAU 1 Samuel 2:8 "He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them. • Chuck Swindoll, “Joy is a choice. It's a matter of attitude that stems from one's confidence in God- that He is at work, that He is in full control, that He is in the midst of whatever has happened, is happening and will happen. Either we fix our minds on that and determine to laugh again, or we wail and whine our way through life. We determine which way we will go.”
  • 20. 1 Samuel 2:8, God’s Universe • 1 Chronicles 16:26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. • Nehemiah 9:6 "You alone are the LORD. You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host, The earth and all that is on it, The seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them And the heavenly host bows down before You. • Luke 4:5 And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world [not kosmos, oikoumene, 1) the inhabited earth,… 2) the universe, the world…] … • “This is God's universe and he does things his way. Now, you may have a better way of doing things, but you don't have a universe.” -- J. Vernon McGee
  • 21. 1 Samuel 2:12, Know The Lord • NAU 1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD • “Knowing the Bible is one thing. Knowing the author another.” Unknown • However, we need to know Him through His Word also so that we are not deceived by the father of lies; • NAU 2 Corinthians 11:14 …even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 21
  • 22. 1 Samuel 2:25, Intercessors • NAU 1 Samuel 2:25 "If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death. • Gen 40:8…Then Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams." • He didn’t say, “Pray and fast and maybe God will explain.” • Joseph held himself out as an intercessor • We should too, “I’ll pray for you”
  • 23. 1 Sam 2:34 A Negative sign To You • 1 Samuel 2:34 'This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on the same day both of them will die. • 1 Samuel 2:34 will be fulfilled in 1 Samuel 4:11; • The “signs and wonders” people never seem to acknowledge, or seek after negative signs; 2 3
  • 24. A Negative sign To You • NAU Acts 5:9 Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out as well." 10 And she fell immediately at his feet, and breathed her last… 11 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things. 12 And at the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people… 13 But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem. 2 4
  • 25. A Negative sign To You • 1 Samuel 2:34 …both of them will die. • NAU Philippians 1:28 in no way alarmed by your opponents-- which is a sign of destruction for them… • NAU Exodus 4:21 The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 2 5
  • 26. A Negative sign To You • NAU 1 Samuel 5:6 Now the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors… • NAU Acts 13:11 "Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand. • NAU Acts 22:11 "But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus. 2 6
  • 27. A False sign To You • NAU Deuteronomy 4:34 "Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation…by trials, by signs and wonders and by war and by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm and by great terrors, as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? • NAU Deuteronomy 6:22 'Moreover, the LORD showed great and distressing signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh and all his household; • NAU 2 Thessalonians 2:9 …the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 2 7
  • 28. A True sign But Wrong Doctrine • NAS Deuteronomy 13:1 "If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,' 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 2 8
  • 30. 1 Samuel 3:10, God Spoke To Him • 1 Samuel 3:10 Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for Your servant is listening." • Deborah Hough tells, “My 3-year-old son, Ian, enjoys the Bible story about Samuel hearing God's voice at night. One evening after reading the story to Ian, I asked him if God had ever spoken to him. To my surprise, he answered, “Yes." "What did God say to you?" I asked. Ian thought and then said in his deepest voice, • "Ian! Go to bed!" • That explained why Ian settles down more quickly when I'm outside his room and tell him to go to bed.” 30
  • 31. 1 Samuel 3:20, Dan And Beersheba 31
  • 32. 1 Samuel 3:21, Seeing God • NAU 1 Samuel 3:21 And the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, because the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the LORD. • Yet Jesus said in; • NAU John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. 32
  • 33. 1 Samuel 3:21, Seeing God • NAU Exodus 33:19 And He said, "I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion." 20 But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" 21 Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;
  • 34. 1 Samuel 3:21, Seeing God • NAU John 12:45 "He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. • NAU John 10:30 "I and the Father are one.” • Well, which is it LORD? Have humans seen God or not? 34
  • 35. 1 Sam 3:21No One Has Seen God • NAU John 1:18 No one has seen God… • Yet very many passages in the Bible declare that people have seen God; • Genesis 32:28, 35:9-10, 16:13, 18:10-20, Exodus 24:911, 33:11-20, 34:5-10, Deuteronomy 5:24, Joshua 5:14-15, Judges 6:12-14, 13:22, 1 Samuel 3:21, 1 Kings 8:27, 2 Chronicles 2:6, 6:18, Isaiah 6:1-5, 66:1, Jeremiah 23:24, John 1:14, 1:18, 4:24, 6:46, 10:30, 12:41, 12:45, 14:7-9, Acts 7:49, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Colossians 1:15, 1 Timothy 6:14-16, Hebrews 1:1-3, 1 John 4:12, 5:20, Revelation 17:14 • My best attempt at reconciling these verses is in my PowerPoint presentation, slides 9-22, at; http://www.slideshare.net/dkooyers/john-11851-is-believingreceiving-a-work- no-one-has-seen-god-seeing-god-synoptic-problem-elijahjohn-the-baptist- jewish-baptism-the-lamb-of-god 35
  • 36. 1 Samuel 4 Ark of the Covenant
  • 37. 1 Samuel 4:3, Ark of the Covenant • NAU 1 Samuel 4:3 When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies.” • Like a talisman or lucky charm? • The word “ark” is used more in 1 Samuel than any other book of the Bible. 40/228 uses. With 2 Samuel it’s 61/228, or 26%, more than one fourth of all the uses.

  • 40. 1 Samuel 4:9 Branding Iron For Runaway Slaves • NAU 1 Samuel 4:9 "Take courage and be men, O Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they have been slaves to you; therefore, be men and fight."
  • 41. 1 Samuel 4:10, • NAU 1 Samuel 4:10 So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent; and the slaughter was very great, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers. • Some teachers make a big deal out of the numbers the Bible, Hebrew Gematria. However, it is easily overdone. • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria 4 1

  • 54. 1 Samuel 4:3-7:2, Ark of the Covenant, New translation of Hebrew text reveals legend of Ark of the Covenant • foxnews.com/science New translation of Hebrew text reveals legend of Ark of the Covenant • A newly translated Hebrew tells a tale claiming to reveal where treasures from King Solomon's temple were hidden and discusses the fate of the Ark of the Covenant itself. • But unlike the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the text leaves the exact location of the Ark unclear and states that it, and the other treasures, "shall not be revealed until the day of the coming of the Messiah son of David " putting it out of reach of any would-be treasure seeker. But don't put on your Indiana Jones costume just yet; the text's translator says the book is likely just early Jewish folklore. • King Solomon's Temple, also called the First Temple, was plundered and torched by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C., according to the Hebrew Bible. The Ark of the Covenant is a chest that, when originally built, was said to have held tablets containing the 10 commandments. It was housed in Solomon's Temple, a place that contained many different treasures. [Religious Mysteries: 8 Alleged Relics of Jesus] • The newly translated text, called "Treatise of the Vessels" (Massekhet Kelim in Hebrew), says the "treasures were concealed by a number of Levites and prophets," writes James Davila, a professor at the University of St. Andrews, in an article in the book "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha More Noncanonical Scriptures Volume 1" (William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2013). • "Some of these (treasures) were hidden in various locations in the Land of Israel and in Babylonia, while others were delivered into the hands of the angels Shamshiel, Michael, Gabriel and perhaps Sariel " writes Davila in his article. • The treatise is similar in some ways to the metallic "Copper Scroll," one of the Dead Sea Scrolls found near the site of Qumran in the West Bank. The Copper Scroll also discusses the location of hidden treasure, although not from Solomon's Temple. • The treatise describes the treasures in an imaginative way. One part refers to "seventy-seven tables of gold, and their gold was from the walls of the Garden of Eden that was revealed to Solomon, and they radiated like the radiance of the sun and moon, which radiate at the height of the world." • The oldest confirmed example of the treatise, which survives to present day, is from a book published in Amsterdam in 1648 called "Emek Halachah." In 1876, a scholar named Adolph Jellinek published another copy of the text, which was virtually identical to the 1648 version. Davila is the first to translate the text fully into English. • A story of legends The writer of the text likely was not trying to convey factual locations of the hidden treasures of Solomon's Temple, but rather was writing a work of fiction, based on different legends, Davila told LiveScience. [In Photos: Amazing Ruins of the Ancient World] • "The writer draws on traditional methods of scriptural exegesis [interpretation] to deduce where the treasures might have been hidden, but I think the writer was approaching the story as a piece of entertaining fiction, not any kind of real guide for finding the lost Temple treasures," he wrote in the email. • The structure of the story is confusing. In the prologue it states that Shimmur the Levite (he doesn't appear to be a biblical figure) and his companions hid the treasures, "but later on the text mentions the treasures being in the keeping of or hidden by Shamshiel and other angels," Davila said. "I suspect the author collected various legends without too much concern about making them consistent." • Similarities to the Copper Scroll The Copper Scroll, which dates back around 1,900 years, and is made of copper, shows several "striking parallels" with the newly translated treatise, Davila said. • The treatise says that the treasures from Solomon's Temple were recorded "on a tablet of bronze," a metal like the Copper Scroll. Additionally, among other similarities, the Treatise of the Vessels and Copper Scroll both refer to "vessels" or "implements," including examples made of gold and silver. • These similarities could be a coincidence or part of a tradition of recording important information on metal. • "My guess is that whoever wrote the Treatise of Vessels came up with the same idea [of writing a treasure list on metal] coincidentally on their own, although it is not unthinkable that the writer knew of some ancient tradition or custom about inscribing important information on metal," wrote Davila in the email, noting that metal is a more durable material than parchment or papyrus. • An ongoing story The study of the treatise is ongoing, and discoveries continue to be made. For instance, in the mid-20th century a copy of it (with some variations) was discovered and recorded in Beirut, Lebanon, at the end of a series of inscribed plates that record the Book of Ezekiel. • Those plates are now at the Yad Ben Zvi Institute in Israel, although the plates containing the treatise itself are now missing. Recent research has revealed, however, these plates were created in Syria at the turn of the 20th century, about 100 years ago, suggesting the treatise was being told in an elaborate way up until relatively modern times.
