OS 118 - Israel's First Failed King

<p>Today we get some serious military history as we look at the main chunk of King Saul&#39;s reign. We deliberately avoid David as much as possible today, because it is far too easy for King Saul to get upstaged in his own chapters by history&#39;s favorite king, and so we end up with a surprising amount of often quite detailed military history, and a bunch of interesting details about the time period itself. Finally, we get to see how Saul is super desperate to be a good Yahweh worshipper, and then we read his final eulogy and hear that the bible writers blame his death on failing to pursue God, which seems a bit unfair, but sometimes life is just that way.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oldeststories/message
