大衞王

Saul's guard: The king cannot speak with you now. He is engaged in the affairs of state. Samuel: Since when have the affairs of state taken precedence over the affairs of God? Saul: ...Samuel. We welcome you. With God's blessing, our victory is complete. Samuel: Is THIS how you show Him your gratitude... by robbing the Amalekites of their women and cattle? By holding their king in chains? Saul: We were discussing a possible treaty. The king is to be ransomed... Samuel: A *treaty?* *Ransom?* Saul, for this you have betrayed your own soul in the sight of God. His instructions were plain enough: "... Spare nothing from the sword." Samuel: ... When our tribes clamored for a king, to make us like other nations, I answered them: "We are not like other nations. The Lord of Hosts is both our God and our King." The people said, "We want a king we can see. We want a king of our own flesh and blood." Samuel: Here are your kings of flesh and blood. Here is a king you can see.
