The “Snake” of Ammon picks a fight with Israel, giving Saul his first test as leader. His success cemented his authority. Yet some despising of him mirrors the rejection of Yeshua as God’s Messiah.
Food for thought from the recorded discussion
Who is Nahash the Ammonite? What does his name mean?
Who are the people of Jabesh-Gilead? Which tribe do they belong? What kind of people were they? How is Saul related to the people of Jabesh-Gilead?
Why was Nahash the Ammonite willing to wait for seven days for the battle even though he knew that the people was trying to raise an army against him?
How did Saul respond to the request of the elders of Jabesh-Gilead?
How many clans of Israel showed up for Saul’s call? How many clans of Judah showed up at Saul’s call?
Why is Judah counted separately from the rest of the tribes (Gen. 49:8-10, Judges 1)?
After Saul saves the people of Jabesh Gilead, what was his first act as ruler?
Who had the higher rank — Saul or Samuel?
What did the people do for Saul at Gilgal? Why is the town of Gilgal important?
