David, the Latecomer King – Firstborn Ep. 7

In the scroll of Samuel, Israel demands a king in place of the judges that have actually been ruling over them. It seems like an easy sufficient request, however Yahweh calls it idolatrous. Why? In this episode, Tim and Jon go over the motives behind Israel’s request and the function of Israel’s first kings, Saul and David, in the unfolding theme of the firstborn.
