Shmuel Hanavi

Why she speak up? She said, "Hashem made it in that way.

Let's see what Hashem is doing." After 28 years, David got the approval from the navi, from Shmuel HaNavi that he's a holy son.

When he's, was sent to the house of Yishai- Anoint him ... to anoint a king from the children of, one of the children of Yishai, and he's looking the all seven boys, and he was sure it's one of them.

It was every one of them was looking good, tzadik.

Everything.

And then Navi say, "Maybe this one?" "No." "Maybe this one?" "No." He look at Ishai and he said, "Ishai, you don't have another child?" He says, "No." He says, "Impossible.

If Hashem send me to anoint a king from you children, means you have another son." [coughs] "Who is the son?" And in that moment, after 28 years, Ishai realize, "David is my son." Okay, you think it's done? When he's coming and everyone's standing for him, and Shmuel HaNavi is anointing him as the king, you think that it's done? That's it? All his challenges stop? No.

[laughs] Chapter one finish.

And do not put on the promise of the Lord that He will open it, because He said, וכן פקד יחר מבינו אחר אבטס כסקל וכן רואי לכל צדק שלא ישמוך דמוקם סכנה על הנס וישמור עצמו בכל תחבולה אשר יוחא וזה אמר שלמה אשרי עדם מפחד תמיד וכן אומר רבו סיינו וכן אומר רבו סיינו She ain't roi lismoch al aneis, v'omro minayin shein somchen al aneis, she nemer lor tenasu es Hashem elokeich.

V'chein ro'inu Shmuel hanavi she holet b'shlichos hakel, v'pachad mishol, v'omar v'shama shaul v'hargumi, v'gam hakel shebeach pachado.

Omer lo, al tifgad ki lo yargacha, avol omer lo, eglas bakar tikach biyadecha.

there's more but you get the idea so there's a healthy argument and frankly if you look at the Mepharshim in Parshas Vayishlak when they talk about Yaakov and Esav there are views in Chazal that are very critical there seem to be two views as to whether or not when Yaakov kept bowing and scraping to Aesop and calling him Adonai Aesop, was that appropriate? Because that was part of his gestaltos.

Why is this story so powerful? Because this story leads to her having a son.

The son is Shmuel HaNavi, the opening of the book of Navi.

Shmuel HaNavi.

Shmuel HaNavi is a prophet, what the Gemara tells us, that he was unlovable.

Shmuel HaNavi was a very powerful prophet that led us into the world of kings.

Shema HaNavi did so much for us.

But it all came from a woman reaching a point that's an unimaginable bad spot.

It's you and Hashem.

And second, if he died as a result of his carelessness, he's committed a very serious crime of murder by shedding Jewish blood, his own.

Now to demonstrate the obligation that a person has to protect himself, Lechavot HaLevat brings us a proof from the Navi Shmuel.

He analyzes the reaction of Shmuel HaNavi when he was told by Hashem to go and knowing David, Ben Yishai, to be the king of Israel.

And Shmuel knew that by doing so he was exposing himself to a great risk because Shaul wasn't a big fan of David HaMelech and he didn't exactly want him to be a king.

And Shaul was very disturbed by his suspicion that David would try to usurp the throne.

David had become very popular after killing Goliath and the Peshtim.

But Goliath and the Peshtim and Shaul began to worry that David's power would continue to grow.

In any case, Hashem decided that David should be anointed as the king in place of Shaul because Shaul failed to kill the Amalekim.

Today's Sheeran Tehillim are Kapit Lach Tzadik Zayin through Kuf Gimel.

In today's Tehillim there is a post-huk that says, Degmaru explains based on this post-huk that Shmuel Hanavi in his generation was as great as Moshe and Aharon in their generation.

The Rebbe teaches us that when the Yidin went out of Mitzrayim, Hashem gave them two leaders.

Moshe, who taught him the Torah that is the same for everyone, and Adin, who helped each person do their best to connect to the Torah on their own level.

Shmuel Hanavi was able to do both jobs together, to teach Yidin the truth, and to help everyone according to their own level.

That's why the Gemara says that Shmuel Hanavi, in his generation, was as great as Moshe and Adin together in their generation.

The Rebbe tells us that by the Chabad Rebbeim, they were all like Shmuel, who had both qualities together.

They teach Yidin Torah and how we need to serve Hashem, and help each one of us, according to our level, come closer to doing the right thing.
