Don't Hide! (1 Samuel 10:13-27) Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/ ==== Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 10:13-27 13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.  14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.  15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.  17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;  18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:  19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.  20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.  21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.  22 Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.  23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.  24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.  25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.  26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.  27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.  ==== Sunday Worship Livestream Series Bible Presbyterian Church of WA Sunday 9th July 2023 To watch this video on YouTube, use this link: https://youtu.be/0M47wyhWibY If you were helped by this recording, please share this with someone who would benefit from this.
