7 Great Leaders From The Bible

Who are 7 of the greatest leaders found in the Bible, including from the Old Testament and the New Testament?

God Chooses Leaders

After King Saul’s abdicating the throne due to his disobedience, God told Samuel “I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons” (1st Samuel 16:1b) so when “Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these” (1st Sam 16:10). When David finally passed before Samuel, “Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah” (1st Sam 16:13). When God called Moses to lead Israel out of their Egyptian bondage of slavery, God told him, “Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt” (Ex 3:10) so the point in this account of Moses and David, as well as dozens of other leaders in the Bible is that God is the One Who chooses the leaders. They never appoint themselves or choose themselves.
