1 Samuel
The equipping phase of Israel’s establishment went from Genesis 12 to 2 Kings 11.
Created (Genesis 12—50)
Delivered (Exodus 1—18)
Covenanted (Exodus 19—24)
Indwelt by God (Exodus 25—40)
Provided for during journey to (delay of) Kingdom (Numbers)
Given a land (Joshua)
Given a king (Judges—1 Kings 11)
Thus, it is in this phase of equipping that the books of 1 and 2 Samuel reside. God is moving from the conquering of the land to the establishment of His promised King on the throne. Following the introduction of the Judges to conquer the land, the Books of 1 and 2 Samuel show God moving to put the final part into His equipping of Israel – the Davidic King. It would be this King who would rule righteously and establish the Kingdom forever.
