SAMUEL, BOOKS OF http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/13080-samuel-books-of www.jewishencyclopedia.com but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE.Knight 1995 62Jones 2007 197 This chapter describes the anointing of Saul as the first king of Israel, within a section comprising 1 Samuel 7–15 which records the rise of the monarchy in Israel and the account of the first years of King Saul.Jones 2007 203 Text This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 27 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSama; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 3–12, 14, 16, 18, 24–27.Ulrich 2010 270–271Dead sea scrolls – 1 SamuelFitzmyer 2008 354Q51 at the Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).Würthwein 1995 73-74The whole book of 1 Samuel is missing from the extant Codex Sinaiticus.Codex Sinaiticus Places Israel 240 right Ancient Israel Places mentioned in this chapter Israel 31.885278 35.216389 Red pog.svg 6 Mizpah 100 left Israel 32.687222 35.390278 Red triangle with thick white border.svg 10 Tabor 100 top Israel 31.942 35.222 Blue pog.svg 6 Bethel 100 top Israel 32.033 35.4757 Blue pog.svg 6 Gilgal 100 right Israel 31.823333 35.231111 Blue pog.svg 6 Gibeah 100 right Israel 31.85 35.23167 Blue pog.svg 6 Ramah 100 left Israel 31.5 35.3 Blue pog.svg 1 Dead Sea 100 right Israel 33 34 Red pog.svg 1 Mediterranean Sea 100 right Bethel Gibeah Gilgal Mizpah Ramah Tabor Samuel anoints Saul (10:1–16) The anointing of Saul, as performed by Samuel under God's direction, set the king apart from the rest of the people as "anointed of the Lord" (cf. 1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:5, etc.), and sanctified as he נגיד, nagid, which is "prince" or "ruler" (also "captain", "leader" or "commander".Keil, Carl Friedrich; Delitzsch, Franz. Commentary on the Old Testament (1857–1878). 1 Samuel 10. Accessed 24 Juni 2018. Verse 1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: “Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?"1 Samuel 10:1 NKJV NKJV "Flask of oil" (KJV: "vial of oil"): not using a "horn of oil" as in the cases of David and Solomon (cf. 1 Samuel 2:10), only one other king, Jehu, was anointed like Saul, and similarly, although also initiated by YHWH, their reigns were far from ideal.Evans 2018 118 "Inheritance": according to Masoretic Text, Targum and Vulgate, whereas Septuagint has "people Israel; and you shall rule the people of the Lord", followed in Septuagint and Vulgate with "And you shall deliver His people from the hands of their enemies all around them. And this shall be a sign to you, that God has anointed you to be a prince."Note on 1 Samuel 10:1 in NKJV Saul proclaimed king of Israel (10:17–27) This section can be considered the continuation of the narrative in 1 Samuel 8:1–22 that the previously dismissed assembly was at this time reconvened to appoint a king.Jones 2007 205 Samuel started by saying a judgement oracle (verses17–19) that the people chose to reject God and elect a king, despite God's continuous protection and ability to deliver them.Jones 2007 205 The election by lot was used elsewhere to find a hidden offender (Joshua 7; 1 Samuel 14:38-44), but this time, it is to confirm that Saul was God's choice, which was also acclaimed because of Saul's stature (verses 21b–27; cf. 1 Samuel 9:2).Jones 2007 205 YHWH's displeasure with the people's request to have a king did not make Saul's election invalid.Jones 2007 205 The public acclamation of Saul (verse 24), an important element in a king's installation (cf. 1 Kings 1:25, 34, 39; 2 Kings 11:12), was followed by the reading of the rights and duties of the kingship (cf. 1 Samuel 8:11–18; Deuteronomy 17:18–20), establishing the 'subjugation of the monarchy to prophetic authority'.Jones 2007 205 Verse 24 And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?" So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!"1 Samuel 10:24 NKJV NKJV "Long live the king": from Hebrew which means "May the king live".Note on 1 Samuel 10:24 in NKJV Verse 25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.1 Samuel 10:25 NKJV NKJV "The manner of the kingdom": probably refers to the regulations related to kingship given to Moses in Deuteronomy 17:14–20.Note on 1 Samuel 10:25 in NET Bible Verse 27 But some worthless fellows said, “How can this man save us?” And they despised him and brought him no present. But he held his peace.1 Samuel 10:27 ESV ESV "Worthless fellows" (KJV: "children of Belial"): literally "sons of worthlessness" (cf. 1 Samuel 2:12).Note [a] on 1 Samuel 10:27 in NET Bible "He held his peace": or "Saul kept silent".Note on 1 Samuel 10:27 in NKJV Septuagint has an addition "after about a month" after this statement, which is supported by a hand correction of a manuscript among Dead Sea Scrolls.Note [b] on 1 Samuel 10:27 in NET Bible Extended version of 10:27 There is a textual variation between verse 27 and chapter 11 found in The Samuel Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Masoretic text has something of an abrupt transition between 10:27 and 11:1, which changes topics to discuss the actions of Nahash of Ammon. The Dead Sea Scrolls version includes four sentences introducing Nahash as oppressing the nearby Jewish tribes. Additionally, the historian Josephus's work Jewish Antiquities features a very similar sentence that seems to be a paraphrase of the same material. It is unclear whether older forms of the text lacked the section, and a scribe added it to the Dead Sea Scrolls version as a bridge, or if the reverse occurred and a scribal error dropped copying the section for the copies that would later become the basis for the Masoretic text. If such an error did occur, it apparently happened early enough to affect the Greek translation of Samuel in the Septuagint as well.Harrelson Walter Recent Discoveries and Bible Translation The Making of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible Grand Rapids, MI Eerdmans 1991 978-0-802-80620-8 25-27 See also 22em Kish Matri Mount Tabor Pipe Psaltery Tabret Zelzah Bible Related Bible parts: 1 Samuel 2, 1 Samuel 8, 1 Samuel 9, 1 Samuel 11 Notes References Sources Commentaries on Samuel Auld Graeme 1 & 2 Samuel https://books.google.com/books?id=2Vo-11umIZQC&pg=PA213 James D.
