1. 1 Samuel 15:21 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why did Saul refer to the LORD as the God of Samuel?

1 Samuel 15:21 (NEG79)

21 mais le peuple a pris sur le butin des brebis et des bœufs, comme prémices de ce qui devait être dévoué, afin de les sacrifier à l'Eternel, ton Dieu, à Guilgal.

Saul’s choice of language suggests a distance between him and the Lord. He realized that Samuel was the Lord’s prophet and thus he associated the Lord with Samuel. But for himself, he did not identify as one of the Lord’s servants.
