Adam & Eve / Eden | Saul |
The serpent | Nahash the snake |
The head of all people | The king of the people |
Seven days of creation | Seven days of waiting |
“They hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden” | “They hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, in pits and cisterns” |
“What is this you have done?” | “What have you done?” |
“The woman you put here with me” “The snake deceived me” | “Men were scattering… you did not come… Philistines were assembling” |
‘Eat from any tree, except the tree of the knowledge of good & evil’ | ‘Wait for seven days for Samuel to come and make burnt offering’ |
“The Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden” | “But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out [another]…” |
‘The woman’s offspring will crush the serpent’ | “…a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people” |
