The stories of Samuel, Saul, and David are inextricably entwined. Samuel, the righteous Judge and Prophet, first anoints and then rejects Saul, a Benjamite, the tallest of his countrymen, Israel's first King. As Saul disobeys God and declines into madness, defeat, and suicide, David, the shepherd from Bethlehem, of the tribe of Judah, arises to kill the giant Goliath and become the King's son-in-law and rebel leader on the run. The story of these men covers the transition of Israel from a theocracy, ruled by Judges accountable directly to God, to a monarchy.If you want to know the true, full story of King Saul, this book is for you. If you are a believer, it will enhance your devotions by helping you know the Biblical narrative more intimately. If you are a skeptic, its logic will challenge your doubts. Here you will discover facets of this era - surprising things in plain sight - in the ink on the pages of Scripture - but that many have overlooked.
