Taem hem i stap faet agensem ol man Filistia, hem i aot i go long Gilgal, long ples ya we hem i mas wet long Samuel blong i kam mekem sakrefaes long God blong askem help blong hem. Taem Samuel i no kam long stret taem, Sol i soem flas tingting taem hem i gohed i mekem ol sakrefaes ya hem wan. Taem hem i finis, Samuel i kamtru.

17. (a) ?From wanem maet yumi tingting se aksin blong Sol i stret nomo? (b) ?From wanem Jeova i jajem Sol from aksin ya we i soemaot se hem i no gat longfala tingting?

¹⁷ Maet i luk olsem se aksin ya blong Sol i stret nomo. Tru ya, ol man Filistia oli “meksavegud” ol man blong God nao oli “harem se oli no save win,” mo oli stat seksek from we i luk olsem se bambae oli lus evriwan. (1 Samuel 13:6, 7) I sua se, i no rong blong tekem aksin taem sam samting i kamaot we i nidim blong mekem olsem.d Be, rimemba se Jeova i save samting we i stap long hat blong yumi mo hem i luksave ol tingting we oli pusum yumi blong mekem samting. (1 Samuel 16:7) Taswe, maet hem i luk sam samting long saed blong Sol, we oli no stap long stori ya blong Baebol. Eksampel, maet Jeova i luk se Sol i no gat longfala tingting from we hem i flas. Ating Sol i kros from we hem—we hem i king blong Isrel—i mas wet blong wan man we, long tingting blong hem, hem i wan olfala profet we i stap fogetem samting. Nating se i olsem wanem, Sol i ting se, from we Samuel i let, hem i gat raet blong mekem ol samting hem wan, mo hem i no tingbaot se hem i bin kasem advaes we i klia. ?Wanem risal blong samting ya? Samuel i no presem Sol from we hem i tekem disisen ya blong gohed fastaem blong mekem ol sakrefaes, nogat. Hem i tok agensem Sol, i se: “Olgeta ya bambae oli no save kam king biaen long yu [from we] yu yu no obei long tok blong Hae God.” (1 Samuel 13:13, 14) Long ples ya bakegen, fasin flas i lidim man i go kasem bigfala sem.
