Here’s mine for tonight…mods I would like another night plz. Thanx!
“And shmuel got old” why does it say shmuel got old if we know he was under 50 years old now? When shaul sinned by milchemet amalek (by not killing the women and animals) Hashem wanted to kill shaul. Shmuel told Hashem “You compared me to moshe but he never saw his talmid die in his life time so why are You going to make me see my talmid die?” So Hashem says “ok, but I can’t put shmuel to death before his time because people will say oh he mustve sinned…but I can’t leave him alive either because its time for David to be king and he can only be it when shmuel dies” so Hashem made shmuel look old early so people would say when he died, oh he was old anyway. They didn’t really know how old he was.
Hope u guys enjoyed I really wanted to do something else but too busy tonight
