Saul was the first king of Israel, serving for 40 years from the town of Gibeah in Benjamin. The prophet Samuel had been called on to choose a king for the people. After God had approved of the plan, Samuel anointed him to be king. An able warrior, Saul fought well in the northern tribes of Israel, but faced much difficulty against the resurgence of the Philistines on the southern coastlands. Being the tallest among his troops, he seemed the Israelite's best hope against the Philistine giant named Goliath.

abstract	Saul was the first king of Israel, serving for 40 years from the town of Gibeah in Benjamin. The prophet Samuel had been called on to choose a king for the people. After God had approved of the plan, Samuel anointed him to be king. An able warrior, Saul fought well in the northern tribes of Israel, but faced much difficulty against the resurgence of the Philistines on the southern coastlands. Being the tallest among his troops, he seemed the Israelite's best hope against the Philistine giant named Goliath. However, when he refused to face the giant, a young shepherd boy, and part-time court musician, named David came along to defeat Goliath with a well placed stone slung from his shepherd's sling. After making David an armor bearer and then a commander of his troops, Saul came to be jealous of the young man from the other side of Jerusalem. Not heeding to his own son Jonathan's pleas, Saul became a bitter enemy to David. Much of his later reign was spent in fighting not just the enemies of the nation, but in seeking to destroy the advancement of the popular soldier of whom songs were sang. Aware that God had chosen David to be the next king in his place, Saul sought to thwart the will of God by seeking to kill his rival. Nevertheless, in the end Saul would die in battle against the Philistines. Though Jonathan and two other sons died with him, his son Ishbosheth (born: Ishui) was not in battle that day. For seven years after his death, his son Ishbosheth would sit as king over the northern tribes while David reigned in Hebron in southern Judah.
