In 1 Samuel 21:1, Ahimelek the priest also trembles at David's arrival and questions his purpose — mirroring the elders' fearful reaction to Samuel.

In 1 Kings 2:13, Bathsheba asks Adonijah the exact same question, 'Do you come peacefully?' — a direct verbal parallel to the elders' inquiry.

In 2 Kings 9:22, Joram asks Jehu 'Is it peace?' — the same greeting of uncertain intent, though Jehu's answer is hostile.

In John 7:42, Scripture says the Christ comes from Bethlehem, David's village — linking Samuel's anointing of David in Bethlehem to Jesus' birth there.

In 1 Chronicles 12:17, David asks if the men come in peace — the same phrase used to test loyalty, mirroring the elders' cautious question to Samuel.

In 1 Kings 17:18, the widow asks Elijah if he came to expose her sin — a similar fearful question about a prophet's intent, like the elders asking Samuel about peace.
