39:26 – King Saul disobeys Samuel’s specific instructions. To obey is better than to sacrifice.

50:48 – Samuel is told by the Lord to not look upon David’s outward appearance. God sees the intent of our hearts, not just our actions.

1:31:32 – King Saul consults with the Witch of Endor for revelation. He interacts with the ghost of Samuel, who has died. This experience with the spiritualist medium destroys hope.
1:34:18 – The Philistine leaders send David away during their attack on Saul’s forces. David goes to Ziklag and finds that his city has been sacked by the Amalekites and his family has been taken captive. David rescues all the people (including his family) and shares the spoils of war.
1:36:44 – The Philistines defeat Israel. King Saul and his sons are slain.
