[[1 Sam-28]] Prev: [[Prophecies in 1 Sam-27]] | Next: [[Prophecies in 1 Sam-29]] --- ### Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Samuel confirms the realization of the earlier prophecy that Saul's kingship would be stripped from him and granted to David. *Historical context*: This refers back to [[1 Sam-15#v28|1 Samuel 15:28]], where Samuel first announced that God had 'torn the kingdom of Israel' from Saul after he failed to obey the command regarding the Amalekites. The identity of the 'neighbor' as David was confirmed when Samuel anointed him in [[1 Sam|1 Samuel 16]]. *Related to*: [[1 Sam-15#v28|1 Samuel 15:28]] ### Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Samuel predicts the immediate future of the upcoming battle, specifically that Saul and his sons will die and the Israelite army will be defeated by the Philistines the next day. *Historical context*: As recorded in [[1 Sam|1 Samuel 31]], the Philistines fought against Israel at Mount Gilboa. Saul's sons, including Jonathan, were killed in the battle, and Saul committed suicide after being severely wounded by Philistine archers, fulfilling the prediction that they would be 'with Samuel' (in death) by the following day. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
