Description
When the Israelites demanded a king and would not be convinced otherwise, God named Saul as their first king. Saul disobeyed God. He did not last long as king. His time as king was filled with anger, jealousy, and disobedience on the part of Saul. He was especially jealous of David and tried to kill him. Saul and his sons were eventually executed by the Philistines.
