The Rise of David

Series: Love This Book

March 22, 2020 | Paul Joslin

Saul is the perfect candidate to be king according to human standards: he is tall, handsome, successful and a warrior. So the people chose him to be their visible king over an invisible God. But Saul is an incredibly flawed character. As the story unfolds it is clear he is a terrible king. He lacks integrity, is dishonest, prideful, and incapable of acknowledging his mistakes. Saul's story ends in tragedy when God rejects Saul as king, because Saul rejected God as King.
