King Saul
King Saul was ISRAEL’s 1st King
The Lord had warned them that human kings wouldn’t be great
Saul started off okay
He was timid and humble
He obeyed the Lord to begin with
but then started to disobey the Lord
In chapter 13
Saul did not wait for Samuel the prophet and made the sacrifice himself
In chapter 15,
the Lord told Saul to destroy the Amaleks because the Lord wanted to punish the Amaleks for their disobedience.
But Saul kept the best cattle and sheep and then claimed it was to sacrifice them the Lord
The Lord then departed from Saul in chapter 16 and in chapter 18 he starts to hunt David
as he is jealous of David and knows that the Lord is with David
In chapter 28
Saul makes a bad plan to ask a witch for help!
Saul dies shortly after this!
