40 - How Did Israel Become A Monarchy
Manage episode 462109499 series 3640266
The books of Samuel and Kings tell us how a monarchy developed despite the fact that God had serious reservations about it. That led to the institution being ruled over by legendary figures like David and Solomon. But how did the monarchy actually develop? Are these stories historically based? The evidence shows a lot of historically valuable facts in Kings and Saul, particularly about how the authority of kings developed and the role of religion in public life.
