...I would think that most believers in divine inspiration would consider that the arguments which you have put forward are extremely weak and would dismiss them without serious consideration. For I think we would all agree that they are far from conclusive. There are many possible explanations of the naming formula in 1:20, and the only thing monarchist about the song is the last part of 2:10 which could easily be a later addition although it could also be prophetic, or just an indication of the popular longing for a king. (And this would hardly fit with the birth of Saul either, for there was no king when Saul was born.)
How can believers of the divine inspiration of the Bible deal with these ideas? I guess the answer for the second point is a question of exegesis and so out of place in this forum, but the first point has to do with the language itsef.
