I have been learning Covenant Theology more in-depth lately and in my daily OT Bible reading I am reading through I Samuel right now. Being more cognitive about the covenantal relationships in scripture as I came upon I Samuel 10:25 it looks to me as if the telling the people and writing it in a book then laying it up before YHWH is a form of covenant. God being the "suzerain" and the children of Israel being the "vassal". Maybe more of a treaty than a covenant? The people wanted a king so God gave them their desire within a covenant treaty.
Am I correct in my assertion? And if this falls under the main covenants, how do they relate? Could it be a precursor to the Davidic covenant?
