1 Samuel – Saul and David

Chapter 28

28:3-31:11 Make up and act out a dramatic story about these events. Your dramatic story might be about your neighbourhood. Your play might have 5 scenes: 28:3-25; 29:1-11; 30:1-31; 31:1-6; 31:7-13.

28:3 Put this story into your own words. What do you learn about Samuel? What do you learn about the Israelites? What do you learn about Saul?

28:4-7 What do you learn about armies? Make a list of the things that you learn about Saul. How do these things compare with other things that you know about Saul? Why might the Lord not have answered Saul this time?

28:8-25 Tell this story in your own words. What did Saul do? What did Saul see? What did Saul hear? What did Saul learn? What was Saul’s reaction to all that he learned? What do you think about all that?
