Sam said He knocked it doon, Reet! Just before his retirement, Samuel gathered the people to an assembly at Gilgal , and delivered a farewell speech [17] or coronation speech [18] in which he emphasised how prophets and judges were more important than kings, that kings should be held to account, and that the people should not fall into idol worship, or worship of Asherah or of Baal.

Samuel promised that God would subject the people to foreign invaders should they disobey. This is seen by some as a deuteronomic redaction ; [19] since archaeological finds indicate that Asherah was still worshipped in Israelite households well into the sixth century.

However, 1 Kings , 33 and 2 Kings note that the Israelites fell into Asherah worship later on. When Saul was preparing to fight the Philistines, Samuel denounced him for proceeding with the pre-battle sacrifice without waiting for the overdue Samuel to arrive. He prophesied that Saul's rule would see no dynastic succession.

Samuel directed Saul to "utterly destroy" the Amalekites in fulfilment of the commandment in Deuteronomy —19 :.

During the campaign against the Amalekites, King Saul spared Agag , the king of the Amalekites, and the best of their livestock. Saul told Samuel that he had spared the choicest of the Amalekites' sheep and oxen, intending to sacrifice the livestock to the Lord.

This was in violation of the Lord's command, as pronounced by Samuel, to " Samuel confronted Saul for his disobedience and told him that God made him king, and God can unmake him king. Samuel then proceeded to execute Agag. Saul never saw Samuel alive again after this. Samuel then proceeded to Bethelehem and secretly anointed David as king. He would later provide sanctuary for David, when the jealous Saul first tried to have him killed.

Samuel is described in the biblical narrative as being buried in Ramah. Some time after his death, Saul had the Witch of Endor conjure Samuel's ghost in order to predict the result of an up-coming battle. This passage is ascribed by textual scholars to the Republican Source. Classical rabbinical sources say that Samuel was terrified by the ordeal, having expected to be appearing to face God's judgment , and had, therefore, brought Moses with him to the land of the living as a witness to his adherence to the mitzvot.

Source-critical scholarship suggests that these two roles come from different sources, which later were spliced together to form the Book s of Samuel. The oldest is considered to be that marking Samuel as the local seer of Ramah, who willingly anointed Saul as king in secret, while the latter presents Samuel as a national figure, begrudgingly anointing Saul as king in front of a national assembly.

This later source is generally known as the Republican Source, since it denigrates the monarchy particularly the actions of Saul and favours religious figures, in contrast to the other main source—the Monarchial Source—which treats it favourably.

Theoretically if we had the Monarchial Source we would see Saul appointed king by public acclamation, due to his military victories, and not by cleromancy involving Samuel.

Another difference between the sources is that the Republican Source treats the ecstatic prophets as somewhat independent from Samuel 1 Samuel ff rather than having been led by him 1 Samuel ff.

The passage in which Samuel is described as having exercised the functions of a biblical judge, during an annual circuit from Ramah to Bethel to Gilgal the Gilgal between Ebal and Gerizim to Mizpah and back to Ramah, is foreshadowed by Deborah , who used to render judgments from a place beneath a palm between Ramah and Bethel. The Book s of Samuel variously describe Samuel as having carried out sacrifices at sanctuaries, and having constructed and sanctified altars.

The books of Samuel and Kings offer numerous examples where this rule is not followed by kings and prophets, but some critical scholars look elsewhere seeking a harmonization of the issues. In the Book of Chronicles , Samuel is described as a Levite, rectifying this situation; however critical scholarship widely sees the Book of Chronicles as an attempt to redact the Book s of Samuel and of Kings to conform to later religious sensibilities.

Since many of the Biblical law codes themselves are thought to postdate the Book s of Samuel according to the Documentary Hypothesis , this would suggest Chronicles is making its claim based on religious motivations.

The Levitical genealogy of 1 Chronicles 4 is not historical, according to most modern scholarship. According to the documentary hypothesis of Biblical source criticism, which postulates that " Deuteronomistic historians " redacted the Former Prophets Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings , the Deuteronomists idealized Samuel as a figure larger than life, like Joshua. The bookish, intelligent Sam was always more of an old soul compared to his wild brother, but he too has softened over the years, letting go of the angst that once defined his character.
