Today I read 1 Samuel 8, in which Israel demands a king even after Samuel’s warnings.

Today I read 1 Samuel 7, in which the Ark of the Lord resided in Kirjathjearim and the Philistines were defeated at Mizpah

Today I read 1 Samuel 6, in which the Philistines returned the Ark of the Lord to Israel.

Today I read 1 Samuel 5, in which the Philistines move the ark and death and disease is their consequence.

Today I read 1 Samuel 4, in which Israel was defeated by the Philistines who took the Ark of the Covenant, and Eli and his sons died.

Today I read 1 Samuel 3, in which the Lord calls Samuel by name.
