Israel Demands a King
Chase Replogle
Pastor
Chapter 8 is one of the most important events in Israel’s history. Their demand for a king would set off a roller coaster ride of achievements and brutalizing oppression that would stretch across a significant part of the Old Testament. Ultimately, it would cost Isreal so much of the peace and rest God had restored.
Worse than the outcome, God recognized their request was really a rejection of him as their king.
