Ruth:Were Ruth and her eventual husband (the rich one who marries her at the end) blood related? Was this not seen as a problem during that time, marrying family? Did the rich man not have any other lovers? Why was he unmarried despite being rich and benevolent? Why did he choose Ruth, a poor woman who worked for him, over anyone else? Did he not have any other pursuers?1 Sam:Why did Hannah's husband not protest when she told him she would give their firstborn to God? Why didn't he have a say in the matter? Why was he so submissive in yielding? Did he not care about essentially sacrificing his own flesh and blood to a life of servitude? How common was it for husbands to remain married to wives who did not bear them children during that time? Was it normal for a husband to keep one around and continue to be nice to her in the manner Hannah's husband did?Was Hannah's song actually a song or was it more of a poem? Whenever a character claims to sing a song of this nature in the Bible, is it actually a song in the way we traditionally think or it is something else? Why were Samuel's sons corrupt? How did that happen? Why didn't Samuel raise them properly? Who was their mother?What did God mean by the people of Israel wanting a monarchy being a rejection of Him? Were Samuel's corrupt sons the next in line to lead after his death? How is rejection of leadership by Samuel's sons rejection of God when his sons were corrupt and evil? What does Saul do to get on God's bad side exactly? What specific action did he commit to make him unworthy of continued reign? If Saul was ultimately too weak and flawed to be a good king, why did God choose him to begin with? Surely God knew of his flaws and that he wouldn't obey him in the end, so why was he personally chosen by God? What actual evidence exists suggesting a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan? How much is this based on valid speculation, and how much based on current modern interpretations? Is there any connection between Saul's madness and David's pretending to be crazy to save his own life? Or is this just simple irony?Why did David think Saul was still divinely ordained when he decided not to kill him when he had the chance? Was David not aware that Saul was no longer in God's favor?How did Samuel die? Did his death mark anything significant? There's a great deal of irony in Saul's death in the sense that the very thing he wanted and hung on to well past even God's desire, his kingship, is what ultimately prevents him from being spared a noble death at an ally's hand, that is, his helper killing him to spare him torture and shame at the hands of his enemies. His wanting to continue being king is what ultimately leads to his suicide because his helper believes killing a king would unleash God's wrath on him, thus forcing Saul to do the deed himself. Is there anything more to this? Any other instances of irony in this story? Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WhNBBoJSdf7lzB1wKJxbekNMjL_pLnGq/view
