Prophet

The prophetic community at Naioth becomes the supernatural barrier Saul cannot breach — every assassin who enters their circle is overtaken by prophetic worship instead of violence.

The prophet here arrives unnamed but with full divine authority — his role is to deliver the sentence Eli's own corrective efforts could not prevent, making official what God has already decided.

The prophet Gad appears at a pivotal moment to redirect David, illustrating that even while fleeing, David remains in communication with God and responsive to divine guidance.

Samuel is identified here as a prophet to underscore the weight of his death — he was God's mouthpiece who legitimized David's kingship, and his absence leaves a spiritual vacuum.

The prophetic office is referenced here as the primary means through which God spoke to Saul — and its silence now signals how thoroughly God has withdrawn from communicating with him.

The absence of active prophets is highlighted here to underscore the spiritual drought preceding Samuel's call — God's direct communication had gone silent, making what is about to happen all the more significant.

Prophet is invoked here as a reminder of what Saul once was — a man who moved among prophets and experienced God's Spirit — sharpening the tragedy of how far he fell from that early spiritual vitality.

The prophet's word is referenced here as the prophecy spoken over Eli's house in the previous chapter — everything spoken comes true in a single afternoon, vindicating the prophetic office Israel had bypassed.

Prophet is listed here as one of the roles Samuel uniquely filled — he was God's mouthpiece to the nation, a function that made his leadership irreplaceable and nearly impossible to hand off.

The text pauses here to explain that the older title 'seer' and the more familiar 'prophet' refer to the same role — a God-appointed spokesperson — bridging the ancient vocabulary for the reader.

Prophet appears in the chapter's title and framing, signaling that the central conflict is about whose voice gets heard — four hundred compliant court prophets versus one man willing to tell the truth.

Jehu functions here as the classic prophetic role — an appointed truth-teller who delivers an unwelcome message directly to power, regardless of the king's comfort.

The text contrasts Jahaziel with what you'd expect a prophet to be — he's not a national figure or official spokesman, making the divine message all the more striking in its ordinary delivery.

Prophet is mentioned here to clarify what Jehoshabeath was not — her courage was not the dramatic public act of a prophet but the quiet, private bravery of an ordinary woman who acted anyway.

Prophets are sent by God multiple times to warn Joash and the people after their turn to idolatry — their rejection marks Judah's spiritual hardening and sets up Zechariah's fatal confrontation.

The prophet here is an unnamed man of God who intercepts Amaziah's war preparations to deliver an urgent word: dismiss the northern mercenaries or face defeat, because God's presence doesn't follow hired swords.

Oded steps forward here as a lone prophetic voice daring to confront a victorious army, delivering an uncomfortable message they had every reason to ignore and no political reason to obey.

Prophet is used here to identify Nathan's role alongside Gad, establishing that the worship pattern Hezekiah restores carries prophetic authority — it wasn't invented by David alone but divinely sanctioned.

The prophet role is highlighted here as Isaiah stands alongside Hezekiah in prayer — the prophetic function in this moment is intercession, not just proclamation.

The prophetess Huldah is the prophetic voice consulted here — notably a woman, she delivers an unsparing word from God that both confirms coming disaster and personally honors Josiah's tender heart.

The Prophet designation applied to Samuel here reinforces his unique status — as both the last judge and a major prophet, his era represents the high-water mark against which Josiah's Passover is being measured.

Prophet is introduced here in the plural — God sent messenger after messenger to reach his people, each one an act of compassion rather than coercion, yet each one mocked and despised until the people had exhausted every avenue of grace.

Prophets are referenced here as God's repeated, patient messengers — sent across generations to call Israel back before the exile, making clear that the disaster came despite abundant warning, not without it.

The prophet Isaiah is the crucial intermediary here — Hezekiah sends to him specifically because he is God's spokesman, and in a moment when human options are exhausted, a direct word from God is the only thing that matters.

The prophets are referenced here as a community who already know what's coming — the Lord has revealed to them that today is the day Elijah will be taken.

The prophet's role here is starkly illustrated — Isaiah delivers an unwanted death sentence directly from God, showing that prophets speak divine truth regardless of how difficult or unwelcome the message is.

The prophets appear here as God's spokespersons delivering his devastating response to Manasseh's reign — their message is not a warning but a verdict, announcing that judgment is now certain.

Prophet is the role Huldah occupies here — notably, she is a woman and a prophetess, and Josiah's most powerful officials go directly to her to hear God's word without hesitation.

Prophets are part of the full assembly Josiah convenes — representatives of God's voice gathered alongside priests and elders to witness the national covenant renewal at the Temple.

The prophets are invoked here as the long-ignored voices who had been warning Judah for generations — their repeated warnings now vindicated as Babylon arrives at the gates.

The prophets are referenced here collectively as the long line of messengers who warned Judah of exactly this catastrophe — their warnings now painfully vindicated by the events of this chapter.

The term Prophet is introduced in the opening summary to signal that God's voice will eventually enter this story — even though no one thinks to consult one until the army is dying of thirst.

The term Prophet is used in the introduction to frame Elisha's identity and the entire chapter's theme — this is what prophetic ministry looks like in practice: showing up in impossible situations and watching God provide.

The Prophet is identified in the intro as the central figure Naaman needs to reach — the one whose refusal to even answer the door becomes the story's great tension.

The prophet referenced here is Elisha, whose role this chapter dramatizes at full range — from intervening in a minor personal loss to standing at the center of war, mercy, and a city's collapse.

The prophets appear here as victims of Jezebel's violent campaign — their murdered blood is one of the explicit charges God will avenge through Jehu's coup.

The prophet here is Samuel, who came to Jesse's house looking for a king and passed over every older, more impressive son before God directed him to the overlooked shepherd boy David.

The prophet's role is notably absent at the moment of David's confession — his conscience convicts him without prophetic intervention, making this one of his most self-aware moments of repentance.

The prophet role is on display here as Nathan initially affirms David's plan, illustrating that even true prophets speak from their own understanding until God overrides with direct revelation.

Prophet signals the weight of the quotation Paul is about to deliver — he's not offering personal opinion but citing the authoritative voice of Isaiah to show that the current division in the room was foreseen centuries earlier.

The Prophet referred to here is Moses's prediction of a coming figure like himself — Stephen uses this to argue that Israel's own Scriptures anticipated someone who would be treated exactly as Moses was treated.

The Prophet label applied to Isaiah signals why his scroll is so significant — the Ethiopian is reading predictive prophecy written centuries earlier, and Philip's task is to reveal that it describes the life and death of Jesus.

The term Prophet is invoked here to contrast what Amos was not — he held no official title or training, yet God commissioned him anyway to deliver this uncomfortable indictment.

Prophet is introduced here as a role Amos is fulfilling despite having no formal training — the chapter's central tension is whether a person without the title can carry genuine prophetic authority.

The term Prophet is invoked here to underscore Amos's surprising credentials — he had no formal prophetic training, making his authoritative oracles against Israel all the more striking.

Prophet is invoked here to underscore the paradox of Moses' end — the greatest prophet Israel ever produced still could not leverage his extraordinary record against one act of disobedience.

Prophet is the category the eulogy uses to declare Moses supreme — no one who would later speak for God matches him, because none knew God face to face the way Moses did.
