summary

Politics in Samuel’s day was not so different from politics today. One group wanted the judges God chose to stay in power and for the country to remain as a theocracy. Another group wanted left alone and the tribe leaders to manage the activities within the borders of the property inherited within the promised land He gave them. Yet another side cried for a king to unite the tribes as protection against the strength of the neighboring nations.

One thing is certain, though. Whoever holds the political power in any nation needs the prayers of his or her people. Prayer works. Solomon said it. The chroniclers reiterated it. “When My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face, I will hear from heaven, and heal their land.”
