-- Howard Culbertson,
From the Exodus to the era documented in the books of Samuel, God's people, the Israelites, experienced a tumultuous journey marked by triumphs, trials, and transitions. Following their liberation from slavery in Egypt under Moses' leadership, they wandered in the wilderness, receiving divine guidance and laws. Eventually, they settled in the promised land of Canaan, facing numerous conflicts with indigenous peoples. The period of the Judges followed, characterized by cycles of apostasy, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. The books of Samuel usher in a new chapter, depicting the transition from a tribal confederacy to a centralized monarchy. The prophet Samuel anoints Saul as the first king, followed by David, whose reign establishes what has been called the golden age of Israel. Throughout this saga, the Israelites grapple with their covenant with God, navigating challenges, and seeking spiritual renewal amidst political upheaval.
