2. Study material for family discussion (older students can read on their own, parents can read and summarize for younger students):

There is a lot of scripture reading here, so you might want to read the chapter headings and focus on important chapters.

1 Samuel 8—1

Kings 12

1 Chronicles 10 – 2 Chronicles 10

 

Here are some of the highlights:

1 Samuel 8:5-7, 11-18  The Israelites plead for a king so they can be like other nations, Samuel tries to talk them out of it

1 Samuel 15:22  Saul, the first king, disobeys. Samuel tells him obedience is more important than sacrifice

1 Samuel 17  David and Goliath

2 Samuel 12   Nathan reprimands David for his sins, his son with Bathsheba dies, Solomon is born

1 Kings 3  Solomon gets the gift of wisdom, he uses the gift to judge between two harlots to see who is the real mother of a baby

1 Kings 6  Solomon builds the temple

1 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 10  Israel splits from Judah

 Here is a summary of Saul’s life: https://bible.wikia.org/wiki/Saul_(King)
