1 Samuel 12

12 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.

3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.

4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

6 And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and to your fathers.

8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

9 And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

10 And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God was your king.

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you.

14 If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God:

15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.

16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.

17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.

18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.

19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;

21 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

22 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.

23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

Some folks have been on this site since its founding, and are still posting. Some have passed on, some have just stopped posting, and some have left with a long, usually petulant, Farewell Post (known here as an "Opus") History is replete with "Opera" (that's the plural of "opus"!), and some of them are quite poignant. Others are hilarious. I invite you to share your favorites today as you respond to the thread:

Here are some of mine:

"You don't have Nixon to kick around any more because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference and it will be one in which I have welcomed the opportunity to test wits with you." (Richard Nixon, Press Conference 11/8/1962)

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" (Gen Douglas MacArthur, Farewell Address to Congress, 1951)

I'll bet you can think of more!

Samuel's "Opus" has more than the usual rhetoric. He is not so much sad to hand the reigns over to Saul, but that the People wanted to have the same kind of government as the pagans surrounding them.

He intersperses his speech with rhetorical questions: Have I robbed you? Did I lead you astray? Being Chosen of God wasn't good enough for you?

The People begin to repent of their choice for a king, but now it's too late.

Saul was now the King, and Samuel would have to wrap himself in his good republican cloth coat and just fade away. (How's that for a mixed metaphor).

Saul needs Samuel to mentor him, because he really oesn't have this "king" thing down yet. He especially isn't a Priest, and yet he'll try that too. At the lowest point in his life, Saul will try to raise up the spirit of Samuel from the Realm of the Dead, but Saul never said..

"I Shall Return!"

Somebody Else said that. And I'm not talking about Gen. MacArthur.

Amen to your word and prayer. Hmm, digging up the dead, the senate seems to be dead, they can’t hear, they can’t see, they can’t do. What shall we do Samuel?

One of my favorites:

William Tyndale’s last words: “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.”

And the Lord did, thus Henry VIII, 3 years later, put the English Great Bible in the church parishes.
