1 Samuel – Saul and David

Chapter 5

5:1-7:17 Make up and act out a short dramatic story about the Israelites and the Philistines. It might be in 4 acts: 5:1-12; 6:1-12; 6:13-7:1; 7:2-17.

5:1-12 Put this story into your own words. What do you learn about the Philistines’ god, Dagon?

What do you learn about the Philistines? What happened to the Philistines because the ark of God was in their land? What do you think about all that?
