Questions
I have an odd question. I am seeing and hearing some about 1 Enoch and how this collection of writings from yr 2/3 BC was supposedly referred to in Jude and how some believe that Jesus referred to it in a rebuke of the sadducees question about the wife with multiple husbands. I have done a little research and realize it is not considered inspired and not included in the Hebrew or vast majority of Christian Bibles. My question is, does the book contradict the canonical Christian Bible, and if not, is it a reliable source for information in early jewish theology. Meaning, definitions of the sons of God and daughters of men and where the nephilim came from? (2:05)

In Genesis 35: 11, God promises to Jacob that kings shall come from him, however in 1 Samuel 8 when the men of Israel ask Samuel for a king, God tells Samuel that the people have rejected him [God] as king. So what is going on here? The text is very clear that the people wanted a king for the wrong reasons, but is God very subtly foretelling of Israel’s rejection to Jacob? Is this a moral failure on Jacob’s behalf? Would it have been righteous of him to affirm that only God is to be king over his offspring? Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but seeing how most of the kings of Israel and Judah were evil, is this an instance of a generational sin? (31:20)
