The Night God Was Sorry He Made Saul King

God said he never changes his mind. So why does the Bible say he was sorry he made Saul king? One night in 1 Samuel 15, a prophet cries until morning, and the answer changes how you read prayer. In this video we follow the old prophet Samuel through the darkest night of his life, then trace every time the Bible says God changed course: the flood, Hezekiah's death sentence, David's plague, Amos's locusts, and Moses on the mountain. Along the way we look at the Hebrew word naham (sorry, relent, comfort), what the Greek translators did with it, and three honest Christian readings of a God who "repents." ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 An Old Man Alone in the Dark 01:14 Sorry in Verse 11, Never Sorry in Verse 29 02:56 Before the Flood: The Hebrew Word Naham 04:36 Hezekiah: The Verdict That Did Not Stand 07:20 David's Census and the Plague 09:23 The Pattern Nobody Preaches 10:10 Amos: Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line 12:42 Moses and the Golden Calf 14:09 What the Greek Translators Did 15:10 Three Christian Answers 17:05 Back to Samuel and Saul 17:43 The Chapter You Skipped (1 Samuel 15) 19:09 One Word, Four Times 20:16 The Last Verse 20:51 What to Carry Out of This 📖 SCRIPTURES COVERED 1 Samuel 15 (Saul, Samuel and the Amalekites) Genesis 6 (the flood) 2 Kings 20 and Isaiah 38 (Hezekiah) 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 (David's census) Amos 7 (locusts, fire, plumb line) Exodus 32 (the golden calf) Jeremiah 18 (God relents) 💬 TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS Which of the three stories (the flood, Hezekiah's deathbed, David's plague) had you never heard before?
