	Books of Samuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The death of David and enthronement of Solomon, while belonging to the Books of Samuel based on its narrative style, is found at the beginning of the First Book of the Kings.
		Frequent gaps are met with in the record, because their object is to present a history of the kingdom in its gradual development, and not of the events of the reigns of the successive rulers.
		Saul's and David's heroism and strength, their development and their friendships, but also their doubts, sins, and failures are described; this is unique and unprecedented in historical writings at the time they were penned, a time when all-positive or all-negative portraits of rulers were the norm.

	Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary: First Samuel.
		The calamities announced to Samuel as about to fall upon the family of Eli [1Sa 2:34] were now inflicted in the death of his two sons, and after his death, by that of his daughter-in-law, whose infant son received a name that perpetuated the fallen glory of the church and nation [1Sa 4:19-22].
		Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place--Such were the simple manners of the times that this prophet, the chief man in Israel, was seen going to preside at a high festival undistinguished either by his dress or equipage from any ordinary citizen.
		The calm and sagacious counsel of Samuel directed the popular feelings into a right channel, by appointing a general assembly of the militia, the really effective force of the nation, at Gilgal, where, amid great pomp and religious solemnities, the victorious leader was confirmed in his kingdom [1Sa 11:15].

		Apparently, Samuel went to the place of sacrifice and invited all the elders of the city and their families to sacrifice with him, as was his custom as an itinerant Levite.

	FIRST SAMUEL 7-12
		This was a big deal--the subduing of the Philistines, and Samuel wanted this to be remembered throughout the generations; that GOD did it when the people were right before Him.
		Samuel wrote down guidelines on how the kingship should be (where is this book?), then placed the book before God--perhaps as a symbol that God was the supreme ruler over this king and that God would judge this king according to how Saul followed the guidelines.
		In his first kingly act, he destroyed half of his farming livelihood by butchering his oxen (the other half, of course was his land, which he couldn't lose),--thus he will no longer be a farmer.

		De Lucia said that Ascalon had identified First Samuel as one of the emerging leaders in the next generation of funds management organisations.

	Rare Device: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
		Samuel Taylor was born on October 21st, 1772, youngest son of a large family sired by the Vicar of Ottery and master of the Grammar School, John Coleridge.
		His memory for the modern audience is sustained by two of the works of this era, the first being The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
		There is certain medical and written evidence to suggest that it is best not to take the story of the poem's writing -- as the interrupted transcript of an opium dream -- at strictly face value, but the work nonetheless retains great force in its verses.

	Reincarnation and Christianity
		If we, therefore, truly desire to be one of the few who are chosen to receive the Mysteries of the Gospel, then it is paramount that we first understand why the multitudes were rejected, and only certain pre-selected individuals were chosen for this purpose.
		One of the fundamental doctrines found throughout almost every book of the Bible is that the person you are today was predetermined by God -- not merely at a time before you came into this life -- but at a time prior to creation and the formation of the earth.
		The doctrine of Original Sin states that all mankind are sinners because they share in the sin of Adam and Eve who fell from grace in the Garden of Eden.
