1 Samuel Part 2
Who Are You Most Like—

Study Guide
Beloved,
Do you see life as God sees it? Do you trust in what you think is right or in what He teaches? Do you seek security from men or
from God? Are you motivated by fear or do you act courageously under God’s promises? Saul and David were both appointed by God to lead His people.
But they responded very differently.
In the conclusion of this special series on 1 Samuel we’ll contrast the lives of Saul and David, the first two kings of Israel-all recorded in God’s Word so
you can know and trust God, experience His grace and forgiveness, understand how to make Him smile, and pray more effectively, relying on the pre-
cious promises in His Word.

1 SAMUEL 15
Observation Worksheet
Chapter Theme ___________________________________________
THEN Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you as king
over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of
the Lord.
2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will punish Amalek for what he
did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way while he
was coming up from Egypt.
3 ‘Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and
do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child
and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
4 Then Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim,
200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the valley.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among
the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for you
showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from
Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 So Saul defeated the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur,
which is east of Egypt.
8 He captured Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly
destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep,
the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were
not willing to destroy them utterly; but everything despised and
worthless, that they utterly destroyed.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from
©2011 Precept Ministries International 42
following Me and has not carried out My commands.” And
Samuel was distressed and cried out to the Lord all night.
12 Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was told
Samuel, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a
monument for himself, then turned and proceeded on down to
Gilgal.”
13 Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed are you of
the Lord! I have carried out the command of the Lord.”
14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my
ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?”
15 Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites, for the
people spared the best of the sheep and oxen, to sacrifice to the
Lord your God; but the rest we have utterly destroyed.”
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait, and let me tell you what the
Lord said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak!”
17 Samuel said, “Is it not true, though you were little in your own
eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord
anointed you king over Israel,
18 and the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go and utterly
destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until
they are exterminated.’
19 “Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord, but rushed
upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord?”
20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I did obey the voice of the Lord,
and went on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and have
brought back Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed
the Amalekites.
21 “But the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choic-
est of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord
your God at Gilgal.”
22 Samuel said,
