  2. Explication du texte

What will it mean for the hand of the LORD to be against the Israelites?

1 Samuel 12:15 (NEG79)

15 Mais si vous n'obéissez pas à la voix de l'Eternel, et si vous êtes rebelles à la parole de l'Eternel, la main de l'Eternel sera contre vous, comme elle a été contre vos pères.

Now that Israel has a king they can choose to live faithfully under the Lord’s word, or they can suffer justly under the Lord’s hand.1 Previously, the Lord’s hand was directed against the Philistines (1 Samuel 5:9; 1 Samuel 7:13). Rebellion against his commandments thus results in Israel being in the place of an enemy.2
