Service Times: Perhaps Saul reigned 42 years and the time given in Acts 13 was merely rounded down, Or perhaps Saul reigned exactly 40 years as Acts says, In which case we conclude Samuel was recording the number of years Saul had been ruling when the events of Chapter 13 came to pass, And if you believe Samuel was giving the total number of Saul’s reign, then you introduce a third controversy.

It’s hard to know, There are various attempts to resolves these mysteries, I’ve looked at these various explanations, and I have my opinion, I believe the second part of v.1 was intended to time the events of Chapter 13, The events of Chapter 13 happened 2 years into Saul’s reign, Therefore, Saul’s total reign was 40 years just as Acts 13 says, not 42 years as the NASB concluded, That’s leaves only the controversy over the age of Saul, Some translations conclude Saul was thirty when he began to rule, They take this view primarily because if Saul ruled 40 years, then he died in battle at age 70, which is fairly old, This camp finds it hard to imagine that anyone older than 70 could have entered into battle, Plus a younger age of 30 seems to fit better with the description of a young Saul in the earlier chapters of 1 Samuel, But other translations like the NASB favor an interpretation of 40 years old, They take this view because of v.3 in this chapter, In v.3 we’re told that Jonathan leads an army into battle, which means he must have been at least 20 or older, If Saul began to rule at the age of 30 and this battle happened two years into Saul’s reign…, Then Saul would have fathered Jonathan at age 12, So the most reasonable conclusion is that Saul began to reign at age 40, And he had been ruling for 2 years when the events of Chapter 13 took place, The point in all this is that Saul hasn’t been in charge for very long before the problems start to develop, The events of the chapter begin with Saul sending a warning shot across the bow of the Philistines, Two years after Saul takes rule, he decides to put the Philistines on notice that the land belonged to Israel, On a plain a few miles north of Jerusalem, the Philistines had stationed a garrison of troops, They occupied this territory to keep an eye on the Israelites and to defend the entry to the costal plains of the Philistine cities, Saul wanted to clear the area of Philistines, so he takes 3,000 men and splits them into two groups, Saul leads one group of soldiers coming from Michmash 1.5 miles to the north, While a second group led by Saul’s son, Jonathan, approached from 3 miles away in the south from Saul’s hometown of Gibeah, Jonathan’s troops finish the battle, destroying the garrison, The word then gets back to the Philistine cities on the coastal plain, Saul knows there will be a retaliation, which was his intent when he provoked them, So in v.3 we’re told he blows a trumpet to call Israel to arms for the ensuing battle, And the people show up in response to the call of the king, They bring a force of 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen while the number of the foot soldiers was innumerable, If Saul wanted to provoke the Philistines, he succeeded beyond all expectations, The Philistines have brought everything and the kitchen sink, They enter in Michmash and wait to engage Saul, On v.6 my translations says the people saw they were in a “strait” but the word in Hebrew means simply afflicted or distress, The Israelites gathered in Gilgal, which is next to Jericho in the Jordan river valley on the far eastern border of Israel, They are distressed to hear that the Philistines had gathered such a large force, Some responded to their fear by hiding in caves, cellars, cliffs and bushes, Others were running from the fight going east over the Jordan river into Gad, But Saul stayed with what remained of his trembling troops in Gilgal, This is the turning point in Saul’s time as king, We’re told that Saul waits seven days according to a time set by Samuel, This reminds us of instructions Samuel gave Saul immediately after his anointing in Chapter 10, This first trip to Gilgal for sacrifices took place at the end of Chapter 11, But apparently Samuel had given Saul these instructions again in preparation for their battle against the Philistines, So Saul knew how this was supposed to go down, Saul knew Samuel would follow him to Gilgal after seven days, After the seventh day, Samuel arrives to lead Saul and the people in making sacrifices to the Lord, These sacrifices would make a way for the Lord’s intercession on behalf of the people, But in v.8 we’re told that Saul notices his troops are dwindling throughout the week, Each morning Saul wakes up and inspects his camp only to find more men missing, As the week goes on, he begins to worry about how he can win this battle, It may remind us of a previous military leader who saw the Lord reduce the number of his army down to 300 (Gideon), Toward the seventh day, the wait has become unbearable and the worry reaches a climax. If we are not careful we will make the same mistakes that Saul made and let impatience get us into trouble. 1 Sam 13:16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

Listen to the audio. Last week we noticed a pattern in Samuel’s narrative of Saul’s early time as king, The pattern serves to introduce Saul while foreshadowing where the nation was headed under his leadership, The pattern consisted of three parts in Samuel’s narrative, He begins with a warning to the people about seeking a king instead of the Lord, Secondly, Samuel explains Saul’s exploits emphasizing his humble heart, Finally, Saul is called into a climactic battle to demonstrate the Lord was working through him to care for God’s people, We’ve gone through this pattern once already in the earlier chapters, In Chapter 12 last week, we finished the lesson hearing Samuel’s second warning to the people, Samuel describes Saul as the king whom you have chosen, that you asked for, In other words, the people have made their bed and they are about to lie in it, And a king won’t save the people from God’s judgment when they disobey the covenant, Both the people and the king will be swept away, Chapter 12 formally ends the period of Judges in the history of Israel, But the prophets will still be a part of the scene, And as kings go wrong, it will fall to prophets to keep them and the people honest, And herein lies the key problem with Israel’s demand of a king, Kings are people too, and like all men they will sin, When the people sinned in the past, the Lord spoke through a prophet to judge the people, They could listen to the word spoken through the judge, repent and be rescued from God’s judgment, In that way, the Lord was judging His people, and by the counsel of God’s word, the people were rescued from their own sin.

He was impatient and worried that his army would become insufficient to win the battle, Now because of his impatience, Saul has found himself in exactly the place he worried about, His lack of obedience to God’s word brought about the very outcome he assumed he had to fix through disobedience, And at this point, the Philistines decide to mass for battle, All this bad news doesn’t mean the Lord will leave His people unprotected, This is an important detail to the story of Saul, Saul’s unfaithfulness will not result in the Lord becoming unfaithful to His people, He raised up Saul as king as an exception to prove the rule, The rule I’m speaking about is the prophetic promise God made to provide a king from the tribe of Judah to rule Israel, But before then, other men of Judah will rule, Saul is the exception to show what happens when God’s people are not content to wait on the Lord and obey His word, The people ran ahead of the Lord in demanding a king before the Lord’s anointed was ready to rule, Remember, David was barely born when the people demanded a king, So the Lord provided a temporary solution – Saul – who was an exception to the rule proving the error of seeking to act outside God’s word, By his sin, Saul has proven true the rule that only Judah can rule Israel, Ironically, the Lord used Saul’s example of running ahead of the Lord into disobedience to remind the people of their mistake in demanding a king early, Yet the people still need God’s leadership and mercy or else they will be destroyed by their enemies, And the Lord will remain faithful to His word, So even as Saul has erred, the Lord will work to care for His people, But He does so through someone other than Saul, Once again, David simply isn’t ready to rule yet, So the Lord must work with someone else for a time, Earlier in Chapter 9, the Lord declared to Samuel that Saul would be the one who would free Israel from the Philistines, And now we learn it will be a member of Saul’s family to fulfill that promise, Saul seems to be staying in his hometown resting comfortably with no intention of engaging the enemy, Interestingly, Samuel notes that the descendants of Eli’s sons were still operating the tabernacle in Shiloh, First, notice that Samuel mentions both sons of the disgraced priest Phinehas, The first son, Ahijah, inherited the position of high priest after the death of Phinehas and Eli.

Why would Jonathan engage in this suicide mission? It would take a very humble, godly sort to receive the rebuke of a prophet, So from this point forward, Israel has made it much more difficult for the word of God to counsel them away from destruction and into obedience, God will remain faithful, so He will continue to send prophets to the king and to the people, But more often than not, the prophet will not be heard, Instead, the king, who doesn’t like his power to be challenged or his sin to be rebuked, will lead the people in persecuting the prophets, Such that most prophets will be martyred as a result, And as Samuel anointed the king, he declared that the people were wrong to want him, Suggesting to Saul that he shouldn’t even have the job, But then he took it knowing that this was an unwise move, So Saul should have determined to lean heavily on Samuel’s counsel and rebuke, Had he done so, God’s word spoken through the prophet would have still been front and center, And the people and their king might have avoided the problems Samuel warned would come, Saul becomes the instrument to fulfill the prophecy spoken against him and Israel, Speaking of Saul’s downfall, let’s move back to Samuel’s three part pattern, The next part covering Saul’s exploits begins in Chapter 13, For such a simple statement, there is a remarkable amount of controversy surrounding v.1 of this chapter, The controversy begins in the original Hebrew manuscripts, The original manuscripts are all missing numbers of Saul’s age and all but the final number of the years he ruled, In fact, the Dead Sea Scrolls are missing v.1 altogether. 8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
