Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

I'm so glad to be back with you again, and I think I was moving a little fast thinking, I didn't have that much time, but I'm going to try and slow down on the bed so we can take our time with this.

I did what I did in the first presentation was the beginning of the conflict between Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, God never going to look at the intensification of the conflict, particularly into speeches.

That stand who gives in chapter 12 of his supposed to be farewell speech, though.

He never actually leaves and goes away and never retires.

He's the Emeritus, Professor keeps hanging around the department and and causing problems, even though he was supposed to move down to the somebody else.

Replace them with a Chapter 13 part of chapter 13 is a speech.

He makes the soul speak, speak of judgment and condemnation, that then results in certain actions of Solomon, Chapter 14 going to look at these if you want to have your Bible.

Do you want to take a look at chapters 12 13 and 14.

I make reference to certain versus along the way.

all right, so first major Point, Samuels rant about the monarchy even after soul is already came that's in chapter 12, this takes place at gilgal and if you read the two verses in the previous chapter, so all it just been installer King formerly Google.

So this text message, right?

As Saul has been finally acknowledged to be king and Samuel Begins by certain control, he takes responsibility for.

So I was being King.

In his opening statement.

In the first verse Samuel makes two claims that are false beliefs on the surface there first.

Assam news said to all Israel, behold.

I have listened to your voice and all that.

You have said to me, really And I have install the king over you.

I've King The King literally interesting phrase in Hebrew.

No, it has not been listening to the people's voice.

He's been resisting their voice, but then this opening statement comes immediately after Solomon made King.

And we read in 11:15.

All the people went to gilgal and where they installed so call as king before.

Yahweh, in cookout using the same phrase they can you sort of the diverted to the number for King.

So it's a strange statement that start with I install Solitaire game.

But the narrator just told you the people did.

So point to I'm going to adapt a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, a comment about Queen Gertrude the lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Well the profit does protest too much, methinks tell me a Speech in first Samuel, 12 is full of attention-grabbing phrases.

I counted eleven of them, because them from the hole with me, can they not pay attention people?

I'm talking That's his rhetoric.

The second thing about his rhetoric is, it has a quasi-legal phrasing.

He disputes with the people about his innocence yet.

No one is accusing anything.

Tickets for testing immediately.

I sent first three who I am and testified against me before y'all went before his anointed whose ox.

Have I taken I taken, or who am I defrosted abused or from whose hand of, I taken a bribe that I made blind my eyes with it.

I would return it to you.

The reference to bribes.

Is meant to distinguish him from his son's because in 1st Samuel 8th Street, the songs were portrayed as taking bribes.

That's why the people wanted a new king came because of the sons were not doing well.

They said Your son's take bribes.

The Pervert Justice.

Are you getting old?

But the reference to not have him.

Pick him like a different, from the taken in the lock, my card at a different different word.

Laca is meant to distinguish Samuel from the King because Samuel uses this verb take four times in his description of the ways or Justice of the King's.

The King will take from you.

Your son's, your daughter's, your servants, your feels take everything from your leave, you high and dry.

yet, the narrator is so you want under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit back in chapter 9,

Like a king would take.

I'm not like the king.

Button 9:22.

The narrator adds a verb that is strictly unnecessary in Hebrew, most English translation, dropped the verb because it's unnecessary.

This is what first time in 922 says

That's a mule.

And the servant boy and brought them into the whole Samuel.

Brought him and brought in the same verb.

Sam has been checked into that.

Take her soul.

To control us all.

To the real purpose of Samuel's defense.

It is called a legal language is to show that there was no need for her replacement.

But then he shifts from his defense in verse 3. Truck.

Using the people of seen in verse five, right after, they absolve him to be innocent in verse 4. Grocery carry on testify against me before the Lord.

And before that I wanted they said you not destroy us or abused us.

You've not taken anything from the hand of anyone.

He said you always witness against you.

And it's annoying.

That is witness that you've not told anything in my hand.

It's a strange way to put it to testify against me if I do anything wrong, the moment.

I'm a dog with you.

I'm accusing.

You of accusing me, but they didn't choose him, but asking for a king is equivalent to accusing him.

So Samuel moves from self-defense to accusation and the implicit reason for the accusation is because they asked for a king, that's what the speech is all about.

And from here on it becomes very clear think of her seven, I know take your stand and I will enter into judgment with 40 Highway against you.

Okay Samuel.

Number 3, Samuels confusing retelling of his real story.

No Samuel's, indictment of the people would begin by him, telling the story of Israel, that, you know, it's important to retell the story that tell that, although story many times was in the Old Testament, someone reads cousin summarizes the Exodus or the time of the judges and sofas Abraham so forth.

Samuel seems to be modeling.

What is doing on What's called the prophetic lawsuit or the Covenant lawsuit.

For example, in Jeremiah chapter 2, Jeremih accused of the people of idolatry.

And in Chapter 2 verses, 6 & 7 News summarizes.

The story of The Exodus, there was a nurse in the promised land entry as the basis for critiquing.

The people God did all this for you.

Look what you did in response, you turned aside to serve other gods.

So somebody's going to retell the story of Israel as a basis for critiquing.

He summarizes the Exodus, the judges and origin of the monarchy story.

Is there a man?

Just getting confused?

Is it going to see now you know, he must be drawing us some alternative tradition of the story of Israel that we don't have in the Bible is changed the story.

Anytime you tell a story, you can Nuance of details to make the point.

You want to make his point becomes very care from how he's changed the story.

Gunga Ginga verses 6 through 12 628.

Add a question.

I want to ask is who exactly settled in Israel, in the land of promise, and call it out.

Joshua, Jacob came into Egypt than your ancestors.

Cried out to Yahoo.

And you always said, Moses and Aaron and they brought forth your ancestors from Egypt.

Who said, who said the people in end in French?

Why does Samuel admit Joshua's roll?
